Mr Ivor Vanhegan is a passionate consultant trauma and orthopaedic surgeon who specialises in hip procedures such as hip replacements, young adult hip surgery, and osteotomy for hip preservation. His private practice is located at the OS Clinic in London.

Mr Vanhegan received his medical doctorate in research from the Centre for Biomedical Engineering of the University College London in 2014 for hip replacement design. He went on to do his higher surgical training in London on the North-West Thames rotation, and upon completion in 2018, he was awarded the British Hip Society fellowship with which he travelled to Chicago, US and Vancouver, Canada to further broaden his experience in joint replacement surgery. Afterwards, when back in the UK, he went on to complete three UK fellowships with the Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre in Oxford, the Royal Berkshire Hospital in Reading, and the Royal Orthopaedic Hospital in Stanmore, where he focused on primary and revision joint replacements and young adult hip preservation.

Mr Vanhegan is renowned for being the first surgeon to perform a day-case hip replacement in the Wessex region. In addition to his clinical practice, Mr Vanhegan is an enthusiastic educator who has been appointed as a surgical tutor with oversight of surgical training by the Royal College of Surgeons at the Salisbury Hospital, and utilises his breadth of medical experience for medicolegal matters as an expert witness in court, as well as providing high-quality personal injury reports.
