Mr Shahbaz Malik

I am a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon at Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust. My area of interests are all aspects of shoulder, elbow and knee reconstruction. My other interest includes general trauma with a focus on upper limb trauma.

Following my training on BOTP, I undertook over two and a half years of specialist fellowship training in pursuit of my passion for sports medicine. I firstly completed a fellowship in the arthroscopy unit at The Royal Orthopaedic Hospital, Birmingham with Mr Samir Massoud and Mr Marcus Green. I then went onto the Pan Am Clinic in Winnipeg, Canada where I spent a year with Professor Peter MacDonald and Dr Jamie Dubberley doing sports surgery and upper limb reconstruction as well as soft tissue knee reconstruction. I consolidated my knowledge at the Perth Sports Surgery Fellowship (PSSF) with Mr Peter D’Alessandro and colleagues where I focused on all aspects of shoulder and upper limb surgery as well as soft tissue knee reconstruction.

In order to enhance my trauma experience, I spent three months doing a trauma fellowship at the Fiona Stanley Hospital in Perth before returning back to the UK and taking up Consultant position at Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust. I have also completed a visiting fellowship at the Centre Orthopédique Santy – Lyon, where I spent time with Dr Neyton and Dr Bertrand Sonnery-Cottet.

I specialise in trauma and orthopaedic surgery with specific interest in sports injuries which includes; shoulder, elbow and knee reconstruction. I perform arthroplasty (joint replacements), and upper limb trauma surgery.
