I am a high volume hip and knee arthroplasty surgeon and also have a significant foot and ankle component to my practice.
I have been a consultant to the New Zealand Artificial Limb Service since my return in 1994 and from 2012 I have been involved with leading the Osseointegration programme for amputees. I have recently become a member of the NZ Artificial Limb Service Board.
In addition to my involvement in public and private practice in Christchurch, I also spend two days a month providing general orthopaedic services to Greymouth on the West Coast of New Zealand.
