My work as a consultant is 60% elective upper limb surgery with a preponderence of reconstructive work following trauma, all complex upper limb fractures are of interest, particularly those of the distal radius and scaphoid. I also have a specific interest in problems with the joint at the base of the thumb and arthroscopic surgery. I run the nerve injury service for the North-West Midlands trauma network, based at the Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt orthopaedic hospital with my colleage Mr David Ford treating brachial plexus and other major nerve problems. I provide an upper limb service for the West Midlands Spinal Injuries Unit, London centre for spinal cord injury and North West Spinal Injuries Units holding monthly clinics for reconstuctive surgery for tetraplegic patients in Oswestry , Stamore and Southport.I also have an interest in upper limb surgery for spacticity in both adults and children with monthly clinics for patients with cerebral palsy or aquired brain injury (alternating).Teaching is a major part of my job, primarily orthopaedic registrars but also junior trainees at Shrewsbury. We run regular courses on anatomy, basic sciences, clinical examination techniques, viva techniques at RJAH.My research is largely bioengineering related looking at computer modeling of tendons and non/malunions of the upper limb, functional FES and EMG controlled systems.
