Specialist surgical interests

The Hip
Mr Evans treats adult patients of all ages for painful conditions affecting the hip and performs more than 200 primary hip replacement procedures per year, including many surgically complex cases.
The Knee
He performs 160-180 total knee replacement procedures per year using implants recognised to have established excellent functional results and survivorship. He is happy to assess you and provide advice regarding the safest and best option, surgical or otherwise. He sees adult patients of all ages following a knee injury, with knee pain or torn cartilage which may respond well to keyhole surgical techniques when non-operative means are exhausted.

Revision (Redo) Joint Replacement
Mr Evans sees many patients for the assessment of painful joint replacement. He has a large revision experience for joints at the end of their working life or for other problems, including infection/ instability. He specialises in techniques that maintain and restore native bone rather than bypassing it to improve outcomes now and not jeopardise any future options.

Philips' Hip Replacements

I have had both hips replace by Chris Evans at the Nuffield hospital at Shrewsbury. Chris Evans is a fantastic surgeon and both procedures went without any hitches. My pain is completely gone and I am able to walk properly again. Worth every penny. I would recommend to everyone who are having problems with their hips.
Besides Chris Evans my personal care advisor Grace Rivett in Medbelle, I couldn't have asked for better. She was with me through every step of the preceding for advise and making sure I was familiar with what and when was happening and generally looking after me. Can't thank Grace and Medelle enough.

Brenda's hip replacement

I contacted Medbelle as I was having a lot of pain in my hip. I spoke with Pat, who was really helpful. He arranged an MRI and then an appointment with Mr Chris Evans at the RJ&AH hospital, Gobowen, Oswestry. Mr Evans spent time talking with me and agreed on a hip replacement. He was very professional and gave me a lot of confidence in having the operation. The whole procedure went smoothly, the staff were amazing and Mr Evans checked up on me every day I was in hospital. Pat also arranged sessions with a physiotherapist, Mr Bell, at the Physio and Therapy Clinic, who was also brilliant. I can’t thank everyone enough for helping me through this difficult time.
