About me
Mr Riemer's undergraduate and specialist training were both completed through the University of Cape Town at the world renowned Groote Schuur Hospital.
He undertook post qualification arthroplasty fellowships at both the Avon Orthopaedic Centre in Bristol and The Cape Hip and Knee practice in Cape Town. In addition to limb reconstruction through the Bristol Limb Reconstruction Unit at the Bristol Royal Infirmary.
He worked as a consultant in South Africa, setting up an arthroplasty unit at Frere Hospital in East London, South Africa, before relocating to the United Kingdom.
He was appointed to a substantive consultant post at the University Hospital Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust (UHCW) in 2017 and started working at the Meriden Hospital in 2019.
He is part of the arthroplasty team at UHCW and a member of both the complex arthroplasty MDT and the Bone Infection MDT.
He performs primary and revision replacements for both the hip joint and the knee joint.
He was the principal investigator for the RACER knee and RACER hip trials at UHCW. These were multi-centre randomised trials comparing robotic assisted joint replacement with conventional joint replacement surgery. This trial resulted in extensive robotic surgery experience in hip and knee replacements. UHCW was the top recruiter for the RACER knee trial. He continues to perform robotic hip and robotic knee replacements using the MAKO robotic assistant at the Meriden Hospital.
