"Spire Norwich Hospital delivers a very high quality of care - before, during and after your stay. This reflects my own practice and reassures me that I am consistently doing the best for my patients."
Specialises in
- Knee arthroscopy (keyhole surgery)
- Meniscal repair
- ACL reconstruction
- Partial and total knee replacement
- Kneecap stabilisation
I have been a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon specialising in knee and hip surgery since 2011 and currently provide a private service to patients in Norwich and across the county of Norfolk. My main area of interests are sports injuries of the knee, knee preservation surgery (surgery to prevent total knee replacement) including cartilage regeneration/transplant, meniscal repair, patella stabilisation, knee realignment surgery and articular cartilage repair (including for soft tissue injuries).Â
I am skilled at knee and hip replacements, as well as partial knee replacements and regularly perform knee arthroscopy and knee ligament surgery. I practice evidence-based medicine and always use implants based on their long-term performance according to the National Joint Registry (NJR). I will also use the best bearing surfaces to ensure long term survival of the implants.
I keep up-to-date with recent advances and I am proficient at implanting a 4th generation total knee replacement, which matches the movements of a normal knee. The uni-compartment knee (partial or half knee) that I use has the lowest revision rate and best long-term survival according to the NJR.
I am a regional expert in patella (kneecap) stabilisation surgery and patellofemoral joint replacement. I have a keen interest in cartilage regeneration and repair, which I studied during my MSc. year at Imperial College, London.
I have performed over 100 patella stabilisations for instability with a 0% re-dislocation rate. I use a range of techniques to repair or regenerate articular cartilage, including micro-fracture, use of collagen matrix and autologous transplants.
Number of procedures to date: total knee replacement 2,000; partial knee replacement 500; total hip replacement 100; knee arthroscopy 3,200; patello femoral joint replacements 50; patella stabilisation 200.
I have been Clinic Lead for orthopaedics, Division Medical Director for surgery and am currently Clinical Director for Transformation and Clinical Lead, Trauma and Orthopaedic Department at the James Paget Hospital.
I completed my higher surgical training in London before completing two specialist Fellowships in Adelaide and London.
My research and publications include ‘Prescription of benzodiazepines in elderly Orthopaedic patients’ (Australian and NZ Journal of Surgery) and ‘Medium term outcomes of MPFL reconstruction using synthetic graft’ (The knee Journal, October 2023).
