Biography & Education
About Professor Justin Cobb
Prof Justin Cobb has been chair of orthopaedics at Imperial College since 2005. His practice focuses on conservative surgery, aiming to resurface worn out joints rather than replace them. In the hip, this means using hip resurfacing technologies, and in the knee, a conservative approach focuses on relining the damaged compartments, and avoiding total joint replacement whenever possible.
Prof Cobb runs the musculoskeletal lab at Imperial, which is home to a group of surgeons, engineers and scientists working in the field of arthrosis and its management. Research includes device design, VR training in surgical skills, and activity analysis.
After training in Oxford and the Middlesex Hospital, Prof Cobb was appointed consultant surgeon at University College London Hospital (UCLH), spending 15 years concentrating on limb salvage and robotics. His clinical work was previously undertaken at King Edward VII Hospital, and he was recently appointed orthopaedic surgeon to His Majesty the King, having looked after his parents for 18 years before this.
