His clinical focus lies in young adult hip pathology, including conditions such as Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) and hip dysplasia. His expertise extends to the management of these conditions through various surgical interventions including hip arthroscopy and Periacetabular osteotomies (PAO). Additionally, Mr. Massa is adept in performing primary hip and knee arthroplasty, as well as complex primary and revision hip surgeries.

Explanation

Mr Massa is a special surgeon and doctor. From the first appointment, to surgery to the outpatient appointment at which I was discharged I was at ease. He explained options for treatment clearly prior to the decision for surgery, a hip replacement. Whilst in hospital for surgery he again explained what was involved clearly ( including the preferred anaesthetic choices). His bedside manner was friendly and put me at ease, when a little nervous. The operation went as planned and my discharge was within a couple of days of surgery. This was when he, and I were happy about going home. Mr Massa's professional attention and individual personal attention is wonderful. I would thoroughly recommend him.
