The majority are knee replacements, while hip replacements account for around 30%. Arthroscopic surgery (over 100 cases per year) includes: debridement, meniscal repair, articular cartilage transfer and cruciate reconstruction. My knee surgery practice is augmented by the minimally invasive approach, which involves a smaller incision and avoids cutting the quadriceps muscle. This enables more rapid recovery and rehabilitation. I am fully trained in computer assisted (Navigation) surgery. Outpatient Clinics: Treliske Hospital: Monday A.M.
