Miss Victoria Deans
Consultant Hand & Wrist Surgeon
MBChB, MRCS, MSc, FRCS (Tr & Orth)
Specialises in
- Arthritis surgery for wrist and fingers
- Ganglion removal surgery
- Dupuytren's contracture
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Trigger finger release
I provide a specialist, dedicated service in hand and wrist surgery. I have completed over 20,000 operations during my career, as recorded in my surgical logbook. It is a privilege to be able to relieve my patients’ symptoms.
In 2004 I qualified from the University of Leicester, then completed both my membership (MRCS, 2007) and fellowship (FRCS, 2013) exams with the Royal College of Surgeons. In addition I completed an MSc (2011) in orthopaedic surgery.
In 2012 I was awarded an educational bursary award by The Royal College of Surgeons of England. In 2014-15, I completed one of 11 nationally competitive advanced training programme hand and wrist surgery fellowships in Manchester. These are recognised by the British Society for Surgery of the Hand (BSSH) as the best hand surgery training programmes. I worked for three highly experienced hand and wrist surgery consultants, one of whom was the president of the BSSH at that time.
As I remain committed to remaining up to date with techniques and research, I regularly attend the British Hand Society scientific meetings. I have produced research articles with regional and national significance. My last systematic review of the evidence for surgical treatment of STT joint wrist arthritis was published in The Journal of Hand Surgery. I presented this evidence at the BSSH scientific meeting in Bath.
I run a clinic at Spire with my specialist physio, and also remain committed to teaching.
I teach both undergraduate medical students, and orthopaedic trainees in the specialism of hand and wrist surgery, pathology and treatment. I also teach physios, occupational therapists and nurses.
