"I am currently employed as the Professor of Orthopaedic Research at Queensland University of Technology. As well as being involved in clinical and basic science research I undertake private clinical practice at Holy Spirit Northside Hospital and public and private practice at Prince Charles Hospital.
My fellowship training, in primary and revision hip and knee replacement surgery, was at both Oxford and Exeter, UK and lasted 4 years. I completed a D.Phil (Oxon.) (PhD equivalent) at Oxford University in 2000. Each year an overseas orthopaedic surgeon is trained in our unit in complex lower limb joint replacement surgery. Surgeons from Canada, England, Scotland, Israel, and India have been trained over the last six years. I have lectured in Japan and India each year for the last five years and been an invited lecturer, on hip and knee replacement, at the Malaysian, Thailand, Australian, Japanese, and Indian Orthopaedic Association meetings in the last three years.
As a surgeon who deals only with pathology of the hip and knees much of my practice is dedicated to primary hip and knee replacement and knee arthroscopy surgery. However I have a number of special interests relating to complex problems of the hip and knee. These include revision hip and knee surgery, unicompartmental knee replacement, complex hip reconstruction, including congenital hip dysplasia and computer assisted knee replacement."
