My practice covers a wide range of upper limb conditions, from the routine to the complex, including cubital tunnel syndrome, elbow injuries, and conditions such as tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow. I perform endoscopic (keyhole) carpal tunnel release more frequently than any other surgeon in the UK, a minimally invasive approach that helps reduce scar pain and enables a quicker return to daily activities compared to traditional open surgery. I also provide wrist arthroscopy for ligament injuries, as well as advanced elbow surgery and treatment for finger arthritis.

For patients with severe thumb arthritis, I specialise in total joint replacement surgery that restores natural hand function and relieves pain. I also lead in forearm deformity correction, using state-of-the-art 3D printing technology to create customised implants tailored to each patient’s anatomy.

I graduated in medicine from the University of Cambridge and completed orthopaedic training at leading specialist centres in the UK. In 2018, I was awarded the British Orthopaedic Association Overseas Fellowship, refining my skills in wrist arthroscopy and complex hand injuries at top clinics across Asia. Since 2019, I have served as a Consultant in Orthopaedics and Trauma at University Hospitals Birmingham, managing both elective and trauma-related upper limb cases.

My clinical research includes leading a Ministry of Defence-funded multi-centre study on fracture fixation. I have authored over 40 peer-reviewed publications and book chapters and am a regular speaker at international conferences. My work in innovation ensures my patients have access to the most up-to-date and evidence-based surgical care.

From minimally invasive surgery to custom 3D-printed implants, I combine technical expertise with a patient-first philosophy to achieve outstanding outcomes. Whether addressing sports injuries or chronic conditions, I provide solutions that are tailored to your needs and designed to restore your quality of life.
