ABOUT

Paul is a UK trained Orthopaedic Surgeon, a graduate of the prestigious Oxford Regional Training Program. After specialist training, Paul undertook three years of advanced super-specialist fellowship training in Perth (Australia), Oxford and Bristol. Paul is a specialist that focuses on complex primary & revision hip & knee replacement surgery. He utilises MAKO robotic technology for all total and partial knee replacements and combines MAKO with a minimally invasive, muscle-sparing DAA  approach for total hip replacements. Paul also has an interest in orthopaedic oncology/metastatic disease, frames and trauma.

To assist with primary care colleagues, Paul investigates and manages those patients with problematic Hip and Knee replacements (pain, infection, instability, loosening) using a multidisciplinary holistic approach.

For Paul, it is vital patients understand the rationale behind their treatment in order to facilitate good outcomes. Paul undertook a Research Doctorate at the Botnar Research Centre, University of Oxford, and is multiply presented and published.

Internationally he sits on the Editorial Board of the Journal of Arthroplasty (Elite Reviewer), reviewer for the British Medical Journal, The Knee – Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, and the Journal of Computer Assisted Surgery.

He has dual specialist accreditation with the Royal College of Surgeons of England and the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons.
