Conditions & treatments
What he treats
Choose an area to see common problems, the symptoms that bring people in, and the usual treatment options. Many problems settle without surgery. Treatment is decided after an examination and, where needed, X-rays or an MRI.
Sports medicine
ACL and ligament tears
Usually a twisting injury during sport, followed by swelling. The knee may feel unstable or "give way" afterwards.
Treatment: physiotherapy, or arthroscopic ACL reconstruction using a tendon graft from your own thigh (hamstring or quadriceps tendon).
Sports medicine
Meniscus tears
Pain along the joint line, catching, or the knee locking and not straightening fully.
Treatment: rest and physiotherapy for minor tears; arthroscopic meniscus repair where the tear can be repaired, or trimming of the torn part where it cannot.
Knee preservation
Cartilage damage and early arthritis
Knee pain and swelling with activity, often in younger or active patients, before arthritis becomes advanced.
Treatment: activity changes, strengthening and injections, or arthroscopic and alignment-correcting procedures that aim to protect your own joint and delay the need for replacement.
Joint replacement
Advanced knee arthritis
Daily pain, stiffness and difficulty walking or climbing stairs that no longer respond to medicines or physiotherapy.
Treatment: total knee replacement, including personalised kinematic alignment (explained below).
Arthritis
Hip arthritis
Pain in the groin or thigh, stiffness, a limp, and difficulty putting on shoes or sitting cross-legged.
Treatment: medicines, physiotherapy and activity changes at first; total hip replacement when pain limits daily life.
Blood supply
Avascular necrosis (AVN) of the hip
Loss of blood supply to the ball of the hip joint, causing groin pain that slowly gets worse.
Treatment: depends on the stage; total hip replacement once the joint surface has collapsed.
Joint replacement
Total hip replacement
The worn ball and socket of the hip are replaced with artificial parts. Most patients start walking with support soon after surgery.
Recovery: a guided physiotherapy programme in the weeks after surgery.
Tendon
Rotator cuff tears
Shoulder pain, often worse at night, and weakness when lifting the arm. Common after a fall or with age-related wear.
Treatment: physiotherapy and injections for some tears; arthroscopic rotator cuff repair for tears that need fixing.
Sports medicine
Shoulder dislocation
The shoulder slips out of the joint, sometimes repeatedly, or feels loose during certain movements.
Treatment: physiotherapy, or arthroscopic stabilisation to repair the torn tissue that holds the joint in place.
Stiffness
Frozen shoulder
Gradual pain and stiffness until the arm is hard to lift or turn. More common in people with diabetes.
Treatment: physiotherapy, medicines and injections; arthroscopic release for the few cases that do not improve.
Trauma
Fractures
Broken bones of the wrist, arm, leg, ankle and hip from falls, sports or road accidents.
Treatment: a plaster cast where suitable, or surgical fixation with plates, screws, nails or an external fixator.
Wrist
Distal radius (wrist) fractures
One of the most common fractures, usually from a fall on an outstretched hand.
Treatment: cast, plate fixation or an external fixator, chosen by the fracture pattern and your age and activity level.
Sports & general
Sprains and soft-tissue injuries
Ligament sprains, tendon injuries and joint pain that has not settled after a few weeks.
Treatment: examination, imaging if needed, and a treatment and physiotherapy plan.
Knee replacement
What is personalised kinematic alignment?
Every knee has its own natural angle. In a conventional knee replacement, the implant is usually set to the same straight alignment for every patient.
Kinematic alignment aims to place the new joint along the angle your knee had before arthritis set in. The goal is to keep the ligaments working the way they naturally did, so the knee moves more like your own.
Whether this approach suits you depends on your knee's shape and condition, and is discussed at consultation.
In an emergency
For a serious injury, a suspected fracture, a badly deformed joint, or a wound with bone showing, go straight to the nearest hospital emergency department. Do not wait for an outpatient appointment.
