About me
My clinical practice for the past 18 years as a consultant orthopaedic surgeon is based at the Bristol University Teaching Hospitals (Bristol Royal Infirmary & Southmead Hospitals). During this time, having established a specialist shoulder practice serving the local population in and around Bristol I deal with complex shoulder problems of patients referred by consultant orthopaedic colleagues throughout the South West. 1500 new shoulder cases are referred to my NHS and private practice and I perform approximately 600 operations each year.
I have developed highly specialized skills, particularly pertinent in the management of shoulder trauma, for example surgery for humeral non-unions for which my extensive experience has received recognition. More specifically, I have a large personal series of Neer reconstruction operations for complex fractures of the shoulder. Based on rigorous assessment of my specific operative results I have modified surgical techniques accordingly and continue to strive to improve the surgical management of osteoporotic fractures around the shoulder.
I have developed an expertise in the diagnosis, evaluation and management of the painful shoulder, my professional interest is in the development of specialist surgical techniques for the surgical management of the arthritic shoulder. In this regard in 2002, I introduced the use of reverse geometry shoulder replacements for the management of rotator cuff deficient shoulders, failed shoulder replacements and the post traumatic shoulder.
The teaching and specialist training of junior medical staff remains of central part of my clinical practice and several of my registrars have progressed to become established consultant upper-limb surgeons across the UK having worked under my tutelage. More recently I have become increasingly active in demonstrating advanced surgical techniques and clinical methods to established surgeons. I regularly receive visiting consultants from the UK and Europe to my unit as well as being invited to visit specialist shoulder surgery departments elsewhere.
