The Exeter Knee Reconstruction Unit (EKRU) is a team of specialist knee surgeons based in Exeter, UK.
The Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital is where NHS treatment is provided
The Exeter Nuffield Hospital is where private (or insured) treatment is provided.
The Exeter Nightingale Hospital has been converted into a two-theatre hospital for elective orthopaedics. Initially concentrating on hip and knee replacements, we have now performed surgery on over 1000 patients.
Many patients go home the same day as their surgery, and the rest are usually discharged the day after surgery.

We are pleased to announce that we have appointed two new specialist knee surgeons to start with the team.
We would like to announce Ms Pamela Pulido and Ms Amy Garner to the Exeter Knee Unit!
Both will be starting in 2024 and will be fantastic additions to the team. They are currently completing their specialist fellowships and will be joining us soon.
Ms Garner will be specialising in partial and total knee replacement, as well as revision knee replacement and trauma.
Ms Pulido will be specialising in sports knee injuries, trauma and knee replacement surgery.
The South West Ambulatory Orthopaedic Centre (SWAOC) has become a leading hospital in the UK for innovation in surgery and anaesthesia.
The day case rate for hip and knee replacement surgery are among the best in the UK and there are almost weekly visits from other UK units coming to learn from our team.

The 2022 Exeter Joint Walk was a fantastic success. The rain on the day did not hold anyone back!
We were able to raise over £5,000 profit for the RDE charity to put towards establishing a Peer Support Programme for patients undergoing hip and knee operations.
