About me
I am a consultant orthopaedic surgeon with a special interest in hip and knee surgery. My NHS practice is at Nottingham University Hospitals, and my private practice is at Spire Nottingham Hospital and Circle The Park Hospital.
I perform a large number of hip and knee replacements - over 350 per year.
I also have an interest in revision knee replacements (replacing a loose, worn-out or failed knee replacement) and the treatment of the young patient with an arthritic knee.
I can offer treatments suitable for the younger patient including cartilage regeneration techniques, unicompartmental knee replacement and patello-femoral joint replacements where clinically appropriate. I also have an interest in modern total knee replacements including cementless fixation for the younger and more active patient. In 2024 I was privileged to perform the first Velys Robotic Assisted Knee Replacement in the UK, and I offer robotic knee replacements to my patients.
I am actively involved in research into hip and knee surgery. I have published in respected orthopaedic journals and presented my work at international meetings and I also peer-review articles for the Bone and Joint Journal. I am the lead knee consultant responsible for running our East Midlands Specialist Orthopaedic Network meeting, and maintain a keen interest in monitoring the outcomes of surgery. This experience ensures that I stay up to date and practice evidence based medicine which is particularly important when choosing implants and when offering new treatments.
I also enjoy teaching and training, and regularly give lectures to medical students, doctors in training and allied health professionals.
