About me

I am a Consultant Knee Surgeon at Spire Hospital, Manchester. My entire elective practice is devoted to knee surgery. I have over 22 years experience as a consultant. I undertake all aspects of knee surgery, including treating children from the age of 12 years old.

I have undertaken over 1700 total knee replacements, over 1000 anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstructions and 6000 arthroscopic (Keyhole) knee operations.

In 2019 Spire Manchester purchased a MAKO Robot. I have been trained in its use and have successfully used it to help me perform Total and Partial (Unicompartmental) Knee Replacements. My experience is that the patients have a shorter stay in hospital and recover quicker, getting back to their normal activities, than with conventional knee replacements.

The latest publication of the National Joint Registry in 2024 shows that for all of my knee replacements (Total, Partial / Unicompartmental and patello-femoral) my revision rate is below the national average at both 5 and 10 years from surgery.

I am interested to know how my patients feel about their knee replacements. This is monitored by Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMS). The latest report from the National Joint Registry shows the patients I operate on are on average older, larger and having more co-morbidities than other surgeons. Despite this the patients I treat still improve in their activities to the same degree if not better.

The National Ligament Register looks at the outcomes of anterior cruciate ligament reconstructions. Data from 2022 shows that my patients at 5 years post-surgery have IKDC scores that are 5 points better than the national average.
