I have been consultant orthopaedic surgeon in Cambridge for 22 years including 8 years as consultant surgeon at Addenbrookes Hospital (Cambridge University Hospitals).

I have performed some 6500 operations. These include about 3000 key hole procedures of the knee (arthroscopy), 650 knee ligament reconstructions (ACL,PCL, multi-ligament), 100 osteotomies around the knee, over 1000 total knee replacements, some 350 partial knee replacements, 120 patella (knee cap) realignments and some 700 other operations including fixing broken limb bones.

I have been writing medicolegal reports for over 30 years and prefer to focus on my strengths in knowledge, namely knee disorders and surgery.
