MB BCh, FRCS, FRCS(Tr&, Orth)
I am a Consultant, Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgeon, who specialises in hip surgery and knee surgery at the Royal Glamorgan Hospital for Cwm Taf Trust, in South Wales. I have been a consultant for 20 years and have extensive experience in all aspects of lower limb surgery (including hip / knee surgery). I am well qualified to offer advice in all aspects of lower limb orthopaedic surgery. My specialist field is hip and knee replacement surgery, particularly hip replacement and revision hip replacement surgery.
I also have an interest in joint replacement in the young adult and in complex hip joint replacement surgery, and have performed resurfacing hip replacement for a number of years. In my South Wales NHS practice I perform a high volume of joint replacements annually. I believe it is essential for the modern day joint replacement surgeon to maintain their level of expertise by performing high volume surgery. All patients are reviewed for life.Â
I am the Senior Hip Surgeon at the Royal Glamorgan Hospital. As part of my practice I perform high volume knee replacement surgery. I have proven excellent outcomes for hip and knee replacement on the National Joint Registry.
At undergraduate level I trained in Cardiff, and qualified in 1986. I performed the early part of my surgical training in South Wales before performing my specialist training in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne between 1991 and 1996. I then completed a specialist hip replacement fellowship in Chicago, USA.
I perform all types of hip replacement according to the patients’ needs including resurfacing replacements, uncemented, cemented and hybrid hip replacements. I am a trained specialist revision hip and knee replacement surgeon; and am referred complex primary joint replacements and revision hip and knee replacements by numerous colleagues in South Wales. I have also trained registrars in joint replacement on the All Wales Orthopaedic Training Programme for a number of years.
As well as joint replacement, I still maintain a general orthopaedic practice including trauma surgery, participating in regular on calls at the Royal Glamorgan Hospital. I feel it is important to maintain a trauma practice for the modern day orthopaedic surgeon, and specialise in trauma surgery to and around the hip, in all age groups.
