About
Mr Raymond Liow was educated in Oundle School in Peterborough. He graduated with a medical degree from Charing Cross Medical School, University of London in 1991. Specialist training in Orthopaedics and Trauma Surgery ensued in the Northern Rotation in Newcastle. He went on to undertake specialist orthopaedic training with a Fellowship in Shoulder and Sports Orthopaedics in Edinburgh.
His experience in shoulder surgery was further enhanced in a Travelling Fellowship to Canada and the USA in 2002, where he had the privilege of working with leading sports orthopaedic surgeons, Dr Christopher Harner from the University of Pittsburgh Medical Centre and Dr Anthony Miniaci from the University of Toronto, Canada. Many of the practices that was observed have been incorporated subsequently into his consultant practice.
Mr Liow has 17 years' experience as a consultant orthopaedic and trauma surgeon, initially at Friarage Hospital, Northallerton, and James Cook University Hospital, Middlesbrough. In 2016, he moved to North Tees and Hartlepool Hospitals where he has the privilege of working in a thriving Upper Limb unit. He strongly believes that a modern shoulder surgical service should provide proven contemporary surgical techniques but with the support of a robust multidisciplinary team.
He is committed to providing high quality of service with research and audit at the core. Nearly every aspect of his surgical practice have been reviewed through audits or retrospective surveys. Results of rotator cuff repairs, acromioclavicular excisions, frozen shoulder surgery, shoulder instability surgery, proximal humeral fracture surgery and shoulder replacements have been presented in national meetings and international forums. He also publishes regularly in peer-reviewed journals. He continues to participate in research and audits, contributing participants to various trials.
Mr Liow’s area of interest encompasses all aspects of shoulder surgery, including arthroscopic (key hole) surgery, shoulder replacements and shoulder fractures. He has a particular interest in shoulder instability (dislocations) and sports related injuries, and relishes the challenge of treating complex shoulder instability in high demand patients. He has a great deal of experience in treating military personnel and sportspersons, amateur and professional alike.
