Phil Sauvé Hand & Wrist Surgery

Personalised, evidence-based care

Mr Philip Sauvé is a UK fellowship trained consultant trauma and orthopaedic surgeon who specialises in providing quality treatment of hand and wrist problems. He consults patients privately at the Spire Portsmouth Hospital. Mr Sauvé is also a NHS consultant and clinical director for trauma and orthopaedic surgery at Queen Alexandra Hospital in Portsmouth.

During your consultation, Mr Sauvé will assess you and arrange further investigations such as imaging, if required. This can often be done at the same clinic visit. He will discuss your condition with you and help guide you to the best treatment options tailored to your individual requirements.

Depending on your diagnosis, treatment may be conservative in the form of advice, splints or hand therapy or require intervention such as injections or surgery.

  • Surgery for small joint arthritis of the hand and wrist (including injections, joint replacements and fusions)

Reviews

  • I was so impressed with Mr Sauve's surgical abilities when he replaced my left thumb base joint in May 24 that I jumped at the chance to have him replace my right thumb base joint early in Oct 24. Apart from being an amazing surgeon he is a very kind and caring man. From my personal experience of being one of his patients I really don't think 5 stars are enough. NHS patient, 18th October 2024.

  • He is a polite, gentle man who has a great sense of humour and is a credit to his profession. I am so impressed with the way things have progressed that I am now on his list to have my right thumb operated on as well. Thank you, fully recommended. NHS patient, 29th July 2024.

  • I was extremely happy with the care, service and aftercare I had from Mr Sauve. I had a base of thumb implant for very painful arthritis 6-8 weeks later I am pain free with a small, nearly invisible scar. Very lovely pleasant doctor I would very highly recommend Mr Sauve for anyone undergoing hand and wrist surgery. Private patient, 16th June 2024.

  • My first surgery was in early June, with my second early October …The results have been immediate for both hands and I couldn’t be happier...After all these years, being out of pain is such a relief. I cannot recommended Mr Sauve highly enough…you are in very safe hands with him. Private patient, October 2023.

  • I had a joint fusion performed on my right middle finger by Mr Philip Sauve. The finger itself was badly deformed due to osteoarthritis and I was in considerable pain. From the first consultation through to the operation itself, everything was explained to me clearly. Mr Sauve, instantly put me at ease and I answered any questions that I had in a clear and concise manner. He is a true professional and obviously cares about all of his patients. I had total trust in his abilities and would highly recommend him. Private patient, June 2024.
