Many of the 40 revolutionary surgical techniques he has described have now become standard practice and his commitment to research means he brings cutting edge techniques to his clinical practice to deliver optimum results.
He has been dubbed ‘King of Tendons’ because of his dedication to researching soft tissues issues and is participating in several multidisciplinary research projects in sports medicine. He was the Professor of Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgery at Keele University School of Medicine before being appointed Chair and Chief of Service of The Centre for Sports and Exercise Medicine at Queen Mary University of London.
