Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon

Special Interest Hip & Knee Surgery

 

 

Welcome to the Hip and Knee Information website.  The aim of this website is to provide an overview of my practice and the treatment options available to my patients. 

I am a senior Orthopaedic Surgeon at Arrowe Park Hospital, Wirral which is one of the busiest orthopaedic reconstructive lower limb units in England .  I Originally trained at the University of Liverpool before completing Fellowships at Wrightington Hospital, the Royal Orthopaedic Hospital and overseas in Melbourne, Australia at the Austin and Repatriation Hospital and Harbor View Trauma Center in Seattle U.S.A.   I qualified from Liverpool University Medical School in 1988 and attained the FRCS (Orth) qualification in 1997. 

I have extensive experience in primary and revision hip and knee arthroplasty (replacement).   I also undertake hip resurfacing (commonly known as the "Birmingham hip"), knee arthroscopy and arthroscopic sports surgery and ligament reconstruction of the knee.   

I am a lead design surgeon in the development of the Stryker Navigation System for primary hip resurfacing and revision hip procedures and am also currently taking part in a multi-national, multi-centre clinical outcome audit relating to the results of knee arthroplasty surgery.  I have a number of ongoing audit/outcome studies in progress with regards both primary and revision arthroplasty procedures.      

 I have provided medico-legal reports on Personal injury claims since 1994.  This work has been both for the Plaintiff and the Defendant.

Thank you for taking the time to visit this website.  I hope you find the information it contains helpful.
