Also available for:
Virtual consultations:
I specialise in all surgery of the knee but in particular complex primary knee replacements, partial knee replacements, revision (second time) knee replacements and soft tissue ligament reconstruction. And also offer paediatric orthopaedic knee surgery.
I have built a specific interest in problems of the knee cap, both for unstable knee caps and for arthritis. I am trained in the surgical technique of trochleoplasty (creation of a new groove for the knee cap) and have combined this with my research in 3D printing to create a model of the patient's knee from scans to help plan surgery and provide the best possible outcome.
I am currently leading the implementation of the innovative 'Virtual Fracture Clinic' model originally developed in Glasgow Royal Infirmary in to University Hospital Southampton. From 2010-14 I held the position of official team doctor for the professional ELITE league ice hockey team The Braehead Clan.
I qualified in 2003 from the University of Aberdeen and subsequently undertook my orthopaedic training in the very well-regarded west of Scotland orthopaedic training programme. During my orthopaedic training I developed an active interest in complex surgery of the knee and trauma. I was appointed as a consultant orthopaedic and trauma surgeon at the University Hospital Southampton. I've had national press coverage on my innovative research in to 3D printing technology in Orthopaedics and the creation of custom implants and guides for improving surgical outcomes.
I am an internationally trained surgeon, having completed multiple fellowships in trauma and knee surgery. These include; Zimmer Orthopaedic Knee Fellowship - University Hospital Southampton - Prof D. Barrett, Mr P Chapman-Sheath; Royal College of Physician & Surgeon of Glasgow International Traveling Fellowship Award - Complex Trauma - Parkland Hospital, Dallas, Texas - Prof Adam Starr; Trauma Traveling Fellowship - Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston - Dr. David Ring, Dr Malcolm Smith; Soft Tissue knee and Trochleoplasty Fellowship - Ortho-Lyon Clinic, Lyon, France - Dr David Dejour.
