Other information:
My practice is entirely sports injuries and trauma, but this includes caring for the musculoskeletal problems of active people of all ages. I don't do any joint replacements so I can specialise and improve the treatment which I can offer. The majority of my work is minimally invasive surgery of the knee, shoulder and ankle for problems of joint instability, ligament and cartilage problems and joint surface defects. I train junior doctors in the examination, assessment and management of these conditions.
I treat elite and professional sportsmen from numerous clubs and associations. Between us in the Oswestry team, we have treated players from most of the premiership football and superleague rugby teams over the last decade. Increasingly, we are seeing athletes referred to us from abroad. The experience gained in treating elite athletes is helping us find the best treatments for sports enthusiasts of all ages and abilities.
