About
I graduated from Medical School in Berlin/Germany in 1991. In 1997 I came to the UK to continue my junior doctor training in surgical specialties and later as specialist Orthopaedic Surgeon in the Yorkshire and Humber Deanery. I completed a Fellowship in Foot & Ankle Surgery in Leeds teaching Hospitals with Professor Nick Harris in 2010 before I was appointed Consultant with special interest Foot & Ankle surgery in Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust in February 2010 where I am now the lead Foot & Ankle Surgeon since 2013.
I have special interests in Sports Injuries and Neuro-Muscular Foot Deformity Correction.

Diseases, Medical Tests and Treatments
Cartiva Synthetic cartilage implant for Hallux rigidus
Hallux Metatarsal-Phalangeal joint fusion for Hallux rigidus with osteoarthritis
Midfoot fusions for osteoarthritis
Complex foot reconstructions for chronic neuro-muscular foot deformity follwing stroke and other neurological injuries
I have a special interest in neuro-muscular foot deformity correction, including the typical fixed foot flexion deformities after stroke, traumatic brain injury, spinal injury or other adult neurological injury resulting in foot deformity. The affected patients often have years of disability without access to surgical correction in their area. In that capacity I started a multi-disciplinary neuro-muscular Foot deformity clinic in 2018 at Mid Yorkshire NHS Trust and with this expertise, I also see patients in the private sector. Surgery for these severe foot deformities is aimed for pain relief, improve mobility, reduce the need for splints and other orthotics, reduce the need for Botox injections in spasticity and overall reduces the carer burden.
