I am a New Zealand trained orthopaedic surgeon, qualifying in 1994. I then spent two years overseas in a subspecialty fellowship training in the areas of knee surgery and musculoskeletal oncology. This training was carried out in both the United States and Australia.
I have had a public hospital appointment at Auckland City Hospital and the Auckland Starship Children's Hospital since 1997 and have been in private practice since 1998.
I have confined my area of orthopaedic practice to the areas of subspecialty training and thus would consider myself a subspecialist knee surgeon and one of four surgeons in the country who perform musculoskeletal oncology reconstructive surgery.
I have an established practice and experience in all aspects of knee surgery. My interest in musculoskeletal oncology has provided a vast experience in complex reconstruction surgery around the knee and limb salvage techniques.
My surgical expertise covers the following categories of surgery:
- Sports related injury and associated surgery
- Arthroscopic meniscal surgery
- Arthroscopic cartilage surgery
- Ligament reconstructive surgery
- Surgical management of degenerative disorders of the knee
- Re-alignment osteotomy surgery
- Partial knee replacement
- Primary total knee replacement
- Complex knee revision surgery encompassing major bone loss, and deformity surgery
- Surgical management of musculoskeletal tumours
- Benign and malignant bone tumours
- Benign and malignant soft tissue tumours
