I have been working as a Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgery Consultant since September 2023. My main interest lies with degenerative and traumatic conditions affecting hand and wrist.
I aim to use WALANT technique in majority of my cases which involves using local/regional anaesthetic as opposed to general anaesthetic and operations without the use of tourniquet. I have recently trained to use ultrasound in my surgical practice and developing my sonosurgery skills to master minimally invasive procedures in hand and wrist.
My specialist interest involve conditions affecting hand and wrist. The most common problems I treat in my practice are Dupuytren's disease, carpal tunnel, Trigger finger, hand and wrist pain, ganglions and sport injuries.
Over the period of 18 years of my NHS practice, I have been involved in approximately 4,500 surgical procedures with 75% of them performed as a first surgeon. In terms of the Hand and Wrist superficiality, I have completed 230 carpal tunnel decompressions including revisions, 150 joint injections, 35 cubital tunnel decompressions, 100 dupuytren contracture surgery, 50 trigger finger release, 30 ganglion removal, 15 PIPJ/MCPJ replacement, 25 PIPJ/DIPJ fusion, 50 Trapezium excision and 2 thumb CMCJ replacements.
I hold an International Diploma in Mountain Medicine I gained while working as an Expedition Medic during my junior doctor years when I traveled extensively.
I am qualified as an Advanced Life and Trauma Support Instructor at the Royal College of England.
I provide approximately 80 medico-legal expert witness reports annually, working both independently as well as via agency. I keep myself up-to-date attending Medico-Legal conferences and courses throughout the year.
