Profile
I have been a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon for 9 years in a District General Hospital serving a population of 340,000. I have general experience in all aspects of the investigation, non-operative treatment and surgery of musculoskeletal trauma and orthopaedic conditions. My elective practice is about two thirds adult Foot and Ankle and a third Knee (soft tissue and primary arthroplasty). I am competent in the techniques of joint replacement, arthrodesis and osteotomies for foot deformity. My special interests are arthroscopic surgery of the ankle and knee.
Prior to my present appointment, I used an overseas Fellowship year to augment my UK orthopaedic training in adult foot and ankle surgery and general trauma at Flinders Medical Centre, a tertiary referral trauma centre for half the State of South Australia. This Fellowship training emphasised the surgery of adult forefoot and hindfoot deformity. I also trained at SPORTSMED.SA, an independent multi-disciplinary Sports Medicine practice with an established orthpaedic Fellowship programme.
