He has extensive experience in general acute orthopaedic trauma affecting both upper and lower limbs, from clavicle, humeral, forearm, hand and wrist fractures to hip, femoral, tibial, ankle and foot injuries.

He is also experienced in the use of Ilizarov and Taylor Spatial Frames for complex tibial reconstruction, as well as mega-prosthesis surgery, amputation, hip arthroplasty and the management of complications following primary and revision hip and knee replacement.

A further area of specialist expertise is bone and joint infection, including osteomyelitis, septic arthritis and prosthetic joint infection.
