    Frequently asked questions

  • Why did you decide to become a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon ?

    I like seeing people get better. Orthopaedic surgery is an area of medicine where we can offer treatment that is close to curative, and hip replacement and knee replacement sit alongside cataract surgery as the three operations that deliver the greatest improvement in quality of life. In terms of the difference they make to patients, they are the most satisfying operations to perform.

  • What are the common symptoms that your patients tend to present with?

    For patients referred directly to me, it is generally pain, stiffness and loss of function in the hip or the knee. By the time they come to see me, most have already tried some conservative measures, such as analgesia, anti-inflammatories and physiotherapy, which are the first-line treatments. When those are proving unsuccessful, they come to see an orthopaedic surgeon to find out what the next steps might be, whether that is injections and further conservative options in the first instance or surgery, depending on where they are in their treatment pathway.

  • What are the treatments that you're able to offer your patients?

    Everything a patient could need. We do a lot of plain X-rays, and often that is enough: if it is bone-on-bone arthritis of the joint, we can see it. MRI is fantastic for musculoskeletal care, showing soft tissue injuries in the knee and detailed maps of the articular cartilage, which helps us work out whether a partial knee replacement is possible. I also do a great deal of revision knee surgery, so we have a full range of investigations for that, using a multidisciplinary team approach that involves microbiologists and specialist radiologists, with access to nuclear medicine scans and CT scans. In short, we have access to absolutely everything.

  • What are your areas of sub-specialist interest?

    Revision knee surgery is my main passion. I sit on the national panel for revision knee provision and I am the revision knee lead for London, and I see patients from all over the world for tertiary and quaternary opinions. The other is robotic surgery. I believe I am the highest volume provider of robotic hip and knee surgery within HCA Healthcare UK, and I am passionate about getting these operations as close to perfect as possible. Getting them right to within half a millimetre rather than half a centimetre really matters to me.
