I am an orthopaedic surgeon with an interest in trauma and hip & knee arthoplasty (revision and primary). My research interests include a range or topics within this field including:
- Trauma
- Surgical innovation and translational research
- Rehabilitation relating to trauma and arhroplasty
- Hip and knee arthoplasty
- Prosthetic infections
- Medical education
I have a number of projects within these areas along with the creation of spin-off companies. Along with MSc and PhD students I also oversee a monthly research meeting with medical students and trainees to discuss future projects and develop collaborations.
