Meet the trauma and orthopaedics consultants

I read Medicine at UCL and went on to complete a MS degree at Imperial College, researching complex knee ligament reconstructions, the design and movement of Total Knee Replacements and Patella/Kneecap dislocations. I have published these finding in high impact journals and presented on these topics internationally. I continue to work on ways of improving Knee Surgical Techniques and Technology.
