About me
Mr Nezar Tumia did his specialist Orthopaedic training in Aberdeen after finishing the degree of MD (Doctorate of Medicine) on a research project on knee cartilage engineering. In 2007 he travelled to Toronto to undertake a fellowship in a prestigious hip and knee orthopaedic centre. He has carried out a large number of complex and standard partial and total knee repalcements and has also performed many complex hip replacements including revision repalcment surgery. His surgery has achieved high patient satisfaction and he has a complication rate that is well below the national average. He has published and presented his research work both nationally and internationally and his reasearch has won the best paper award in Germany in 2009.
