About me

Professor Ali Noorani stands at the pinnacle of orthopaedic and trauma surgery, specialising in shoulder and elbow procedures. Renowned globally, he is not just a surgeon but a pioneer in the field. His unparalleled expertise has made him a trusted authority among elite athletes, including Premier League footballers, professional rugby players, and numerous professional cyclists, boxers, and mixed martial artists, including UFC competitors. His dedication to treating professional bodybuilders and powerlifters further underscores his versatile expertise.

He is renowned for his multidisciplinary approach to upper limb treatment, emphasizing a holistic, patient-centric strategy. Only about 20% of his patients require surgery, thanks to his collaboration with physiotherapists and his meticulous approach to patient rehabilitation. When surgery is necessary, he utilizes minimally invasive and joint preservation techniques to ensure rapid recovery.

Professor Noorani firmly believes that accurate diagnosis is essential, but clear communication is equally important. Patients and therapists alike value the reassurance and detailed explanations he provides. An expert in setting up multidisciplinary teams and innovative one-stop clinics, he has streamlined the patient journey in upper limb services

through LEAN methodology. He has also been at the forefront of telemedicine, developing techniques now used globally, allowing seamless cross-border diagnoses and consultations.

As the founding member of the Royal London Orthopaedic and Trauma Society and the Barts Orthopaedic Fund, and a board member of the European Society for Shoulder and Elbow Rehabilitation (EUSSER), his influence extends beyond clinical practice. He is an active member of the British Shoulder and Elbow Society, the British Orthopaedic Association, the British Medical Association, and a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons. His contributions to education and clinical supervision are widely recognized, with numerous publications in peer-reviewed journals and significant research contributions, including previous roles as a principal investigator on multicentre randomised controlled trials.

His reputation as a caring and compassionate surgeon is well-earned. Patients trust him not only for his technical expertise but also for his deep understanding of their personal experiences and the impacts of their conditions. His holistic approach ensures that every patient feels valued and understood, cementing his position as one of the foremost surgeons in the world.
