About
Martyn Porter is a leading orthopaedic surgeon and researcher whose work has fundamentally shaped modern total hip arthroplasty. His research centers on evidence-based surgical practice, implant survivorship, and the optimization of patient outcomes in joint replacement. Porter is best known for pioneering the use of large national registry data to evaluate implant performance, particularly through his leadership in the National Joint Registry for England, Wales, Northern Ireland, and the Isle of Man. His landmark studies have directly influenced implant selection and surgical technique, reducing revision rates across thousands of patients. Among his most cited works is an overview of randomized controlled trials in primary total hip arthroplasty, synthesizing evidence from over 34,000 patients to clarify what high-quality data truly tells us about surgical success. With over 16,000 citations to his name, Porter’s impact is immense. He has also been instrumental in developing the widely used Oxford Hip Score, a patient-reported outcome measure now standard in hip replacement research worldwide. His work continues to guide surgeons and improve the lives of patients undergoing hip arthroplasty.
