Background Information 
Professional profile:
I have a special interest in shoulder arthroscopy - including arthroscopic management of rotator cuff disease and instability. I also perform regular open shoulder surgery including shoulder replacement. My other clinical interest includes soft tissue knee surgery (arthroscopy). I am also performing autologous osteochondral grafting for localised cartilage defects (e.g. OCD) in the knee. I have spent a year of specialised training for all these procedures in Toronto, Canada from June 1998 to July 1999.
Personal profile:
My outside interests include sports such as distance running (4 marathons); cycling, snowboarding and swimming.
