About me
Mr David Simpson is an established and experienced Consultant orthopaedic surgeon. He is the leading regional exponent of custom made, personalised 'Signature' knee replacements.
Mr Simpson qualified from Sheffield Medical School in 1993. He undertook house officer jobs in Sheffield, before spending a year teaching anatomy at Leeds Medical School, followed by basic surgical training in Edinburgh for three years and then completed six years of registrar training on the Stoke/Oswestry rotation.
He completed a fellowship at Sportsmed - SA, in Adelaide, Australia in 2004. This is the largest sports injury/joint replacement centre in the Southern Hemisphere. Excellent experience was gained in the treatment of all hip and knee disorders.
In January 2006, he was appointed Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon at New Cross Hospital, Wolverhampton. He undertakes both trauma and elective duties.
Mr Simpson carried out the first 'shape-matching' Signature knee replacement at New Cross Hospital, Wolverhampton in 2011 and has introduced this technique across his private practice. Patients undergo a MRI scan of their knee prior to surgery. From the MRI data, custom made cutting jigs are made specific to each patient which allows the perfect restoration of the patient's lower limb mechanical axis following insertion of their new knee. Benefits include, less soft tissue damage, quicker surgery, reduced risk of infection, earlier recovery and function and with perfect mechanical alignment the lifespan of the knee replacement should improve.
