My main interests are hip and knee replacement for all age groups, especially young patients and I have been instrumental in improving the lives of those unfortunate patients who developed arthritis following. injuries, accidents, radiotherapy and avascular necrosis. My experience in knee

surgery stems from training in all aspects of knee replacement including total

knee replacement, partial knee replacement etc. In addition, I carry out

ligament reconstruction surgery by arthroscopy (keyhole surgery).

I have a conservative approach to orthopaedic problems and tend to treat the

patients respectfully and carry out surgery as a last resort. I carry out

injection and manipulation techniques for those who are not fit for surgery, to

relieve their pain and suffering.

Having been chief hip and knee surgeon, I have developed an interest and expertise in

revision hip/knee replacements which have failed due to infection, metal on

metal articulations, fractures around the joint replacements (periprosthetic

fracture management) etc. I deal with knee injuries and have a special interest

in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction including; revision surgery,

meniscal damage and patella (knee cap) instability.

I completed my trauma and orthopaedic training in the North West region of

England, mainly in Liverpool and Manchester. I carried out fellowships in hip

surgery in Melbourne and also in Sheffield Childrens Hospital. I am a fully

accredited Orthopaedic Surgeon. I am Head of Department at Blackpool Victoria

Hospital and carry vast experience in the outcome measures of a patient where

the patient satisfactory outcome and wellbeing arec monitored.

I am Chairman of the Medical Advisory Committee at Spire Fylde Coast Hospital.
