How he helps arthritis sufferers
MAKO Robotic Assisted Joint Replacement Surgery in Sheffield
Mr Samir Ali Salih utilizes advanced Stryker MAKO® robotic technology at Livingcare (Canon Medical Arena, Sheffield) to deliver ultra-precise hip replacements and knee replacements, and partial knee replacements to patients in Sheffield. Using a personalized 3D CT scan created prior to surgery, robotic assistance allows Mr Salih to position implants with pinpoint accuracy while protecting surrounding healthy tissue. This state-of-the-art technology can lead to greater function and a more natural-feeling joint.
Total Hip Replacement Surgery in Sheffield
Total hip replacement is one of the most successful and reliable treatments for advanced hip arthritis. It can provide significant pain relief, improve mobility and help patients return to their normal activities.
Mr Salih performs total hip replacement using a muscle-sparing posterior approach to the hip. He uses established hip replacement implants with a proven track record of long-term performance and longevity.
If you have hip arthritis, persistent hip pain or difficulty walking and everyday activities, Mr Salih can assess your condition and discuss whether hip replacement is suitable for you.
Partial Knee Replacement in Sheffield
Partial knee replacement can be an excellent treatment option when arthritis affects only one part of the knee joint. Unlike a total knee replacement, it preserves the healthy parts of the knee, including the unaffected compartments and the cruciate ligaments.
By preserving more of the patient’s natural knee, partial knee replacement can provide a more natural-feeling joint and is often associated with a faster recovery and return to normal activities.
Total Knee Replacement in Sheffield
Total knee replacement is an effective treatment for patients with widespread or advanced knee arthritis. It can help relieve persistent knee pain, improve mobility and restore quality of life.
The aim is to provide a personalised knee replacement that feels as natural as possible and is suited to each patient’s individual anatomy and lifestyle. Mr Samir Ali Salih performs a 3D CT scan before surgery and uses the MAKO robotic system, to help achieve accurate positioning and alignment of the knee replacement.
Hip and Knee Joint Injections
Joint Injections are a non operative treatment for patients with hip and knee arthritis which can provide relief for up to a year or more. Arthritis specialists rapid access hip and knee injections with image guidance in a clean minor operating suite.

How soon after joint replacement surgery can I return to walking in the Peak District?
Most patients begin walking with support on the day of surgery. With dedicated physiotherapy, many patients return to low-impact outdoors activities—such as walking in the Peak District, cycling, or playing golf—within 6 to 12 weeks post-operation. MAKO robotic-assisted and partial joint surgeries often allow for a smoother, quicker initial recovery.
