Background Information 
Professional profile:

Mr Ali Al-Sabti is a consultant orthopaedic surgeon at Spire Hartswood in Brentwood, Essex, offering specialist private shoulder surgery and general orthopaedic surgery in our clean and comfortable private hospital.

Mr Ali Al-Sabti completed medical training in the UK and then worked in Saudi Arabia for seven years before returning to the UK where he has lived since being appointed at Oldchurch Hospital in 1995.

Having elected to specialise in orthopaedics Mr Al-Sabti developed a special interest in arthroscopic surgery at an early stage in my career, with a particularly interest in new procedures such as arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction following sports injuries. As a result of the involvement in sport injuries Mr Al-Sabti became interested in shoulder surgery in athletes, subsequently expanding into the area of shoulder surgery, particularly in arthroscopic shoulder surgery which became a special interest.

At this time, this was a fairly new procedure and over the past few years arthroscopic shoulder surgery has enjoyed an explosion of interest from orthopaedic surgeons. Mr Ali Al-Sabti was fortunate to be at a stage in his career when he could develop this further. Arthroscopic surgery has a clear advantage over open procedures - the field of vision is magnified by about 20 times and thus more detail is available. Also, a number of conditions are best diagnosed and treated arthroscopically.

This area continues to be Mr Al-Sabti main interest ensuring that he is fully up to date with the most recent developments in this field, attending various international courses in America and Europe.

Personal profile:
I have a particular interest in mechanical and electronic gadgets and enjoy flying remote controlled aeroplanes (quite frequently repairing what I break!)

I play football and enjoy snow skiing and am a DIY enthusiast, working a lot in the home, time permitting.

Patient testimonal

"I did nothing for too long and my shoulder froze.  I would see a specialist as soon as possible rather than hope the problem would go away."
