Mr Mathias Thomas Nagy
MD, MRCS, MSc (Dist), FEBOT, SICOT, FRCS (Tr & Orth), PG Cert (Med Ed), MFSTEd, MAcadMEd, FHEA, MFSEM (UK) Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon · Specialist Knee Surgeon · Medico-Legal Expert · Medical EducatorI am a dual fellowship-trained Consultant Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgeon at York Hospital, part of York and Scarborough Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, and my elective practice is exclusively the knee. I look after athletes from a wide range of sports, from primary and revision ACL reconstruction and multi-ligament knee reconstruction to meniscal preservation surgery and cartilage surgery, helping them return to play.
For early arthritis I offer biological, PRP and Arthrosamid injections, cartilage procedures and osteotomy. For advanced, bone-on-bone arthritis my philosophy is to replace only the diseased part of the knee, with partial, patellofemoral and total knee replacements.
