About
I have completed my orthopaedic training in the prestigious Stoke-Oswestry rotation. Further on I have completed a 16-month fellowship at the well-reputed Pulvertaft hand centre at Derby and two international fellowships in upper limb spasticity and peripheral nerve surgery at Institut de La Main, Paris as well as Ganga Hospital, Coimbatore, India respectively. Subsequently, I was appointed at the University Hospitals of North Midlands as a Consultant Orthopaedic hand and wrist surgeon with an interest in peripheral nerve injury and upper limb spasticity.
My expertise includes managing complex hand and wrist trauma and elective procedures, peripheral nerve injuries including brachial plexus injuries and upper limb spasticity in both post-stroke and cerebral palsy patients. Along with routine procedures like carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, Dupuytren's, basal thumb arthritis, and trigger finger, I perform arthroscopic wrist procedures for sports injuries, endoscopic carpal tunnel decompression, percutaneous needle fasciotomy for Dupuytren's and joint replacement procedures in hand and wrist for arthritis.
Most of my surgical procedures are performed using the awake regional anaesthesia technique.
