He also has special interests in arthroscopic key-hole surgery, forefoot surgery, rheumatoid arthritis and heel pain/achilles conditions.

He undertook specialist orthopaedic training in the South Thames (West) Region before being awarded a British Orthopaedic Travelling Fellowship in Dublin. Mr Solan has also worked overseas in South Africa and undertaken research at Universities Baltimore, USA.
