About Me

About Me

Professional Background
I studied at Manchester Medical School, qualifying in 2002 and completed my training in Orthopaedics and Trauma Surgery on the Warwick Orthopaedic Programme. This was followed by advanced fellowship training in Toronto, Exeter and Derby, and visiting fellowships to the Mayo Clinic and Rush University Medical Center in the USA. This enabled me to learn the latest techniques and develop expertise in shoulder and elbow surgery from world experts.

I was appointed as a Consultant Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgeon at University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust in 2013. This is a large academic teaching hospital and a regional major trauma centre with complex tertiary referrals.

Clinical Interests

I specialise exclusively in the assessment and treatment of shoulder and elbow conditions including injuries and fractures. I use the latest minimally invasive state-of-the-art arthroscopic techniques to accelerate the recovery process so that my patients can return to their work, activities and sports in a timely manner. Some of the more common problems with the shoulder and elbow that I regularly treat are listed below:

Shoulder Problems: subacromial impingement/bursitis, rotator cuff tears, calcific tendonitis, frozen shoulder, new and recurrent dislocations, SLAP tears, shoulder arthritis, acromio-clavicular (ACJ) arthritis and injuries/dislocations, shoulder fractures, clavicle fractures.

Elbow Problems: Elbow arthritis/stiffness, ulnar nerve compression (cubital tunnel syndrome), tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis), golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis), biceps tendon injuries, olecranon bursitis, dislocations and instability, elbow fractures
