About me

I am a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon whose entire elective practice is surgery of the knee. This creates expertise in the rarer and more complex knee conditions as well as great familiarity with the more common procedures of knee replacement, arthroscopy (key hole surgery) and ligament reconstruction.
I perform several hundred knee operations a year many of them arthroscopically (keyhole) using the very latest techniques, for example Visionaire patient specific Total Knee Replacement and Anatomic Single Bundle Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction.

Areas of interest

Degenerative knee disorders; Knee arthroscopy; Anterior knee pain; Knee pain; Arthroscopy; Knee surgery; Knee replacement surgery; Ligament reconstruction; Anterior Cruciate; Posterior Cruciate; Meniscus; Meniscal Repair; Menisectomy; Patellofemoral Replacement; Unicompartmental Knee Replacement; Joint Replacement.

As you can see from the Private Healthcare Information Network, https://www.phin.org.uk, I am currently the main provider of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction in the Region of Peterborough and Stamford. I also perform well above average volumes of Total Knee Replacement and Partial Knee Replacement Surgery.
