I am a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon specialising in hip and knee surgery. I am available at the Cherwell Hospital in Banbury , Oxfordshire, the New Hall Hospital in Salisbury, Wiltshire , The Healthshare Clinic in Winchester and Fitzrovia Hospital in central London.

Treatments Available

I offer a comprehensive consultation for the hip and knee disorders in adults which includes detailed examination and appropriate investigations. This will help me to reach diagnosis of your condition, following which a treatment plan will be discussed with you. Depending on your case a non-operative or operative treatment may be offered. This will take in account your diagnosis, personal, domestic and social situation.

Non operative treatment may include – pain relief, lifestyle modification advices, condition specific exercises and in many regenerative joint/soft tissue injections.

Regenerative treatment - I offer regenerative treatment for joint arthritis and various tendon conditions. Visit https://jointbiologics.co.uk/ for further information.

Operative treatment which I routinely offer are the following

  • Total hip replacement – Based on clinical requirements I choose uncemented, cemented, or hybrid total hip replacements. I utilise posterior approach to the hip, thus reducing risk of post-operative limp.
  • Total Knee Replacement – I routinely resurface kneecap bone to reduce risk for re operation. I perform patients specific knee replacements in selected cases.
  • Trochanteric /gluteal tendon tear/bursitis soft tissue procedures - Indicated for those patients who do not benefit from routine injections.
  • Knee arthroscopy – for cartilage/ meniscus and kneecap conditions.
  • Enhanced Recovery and Day case joint replacement – I possess in depth knowledge of enhanced recovery programme for hip and knee replacement. I believe in ‘Life is movement and movement is life’ concept, and many of my patients are able go home on the day of the procedure.
