He qualified from King’s College Hospital, London in 1987. Orthopaedic training was at The Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital, Stanmore, and a year’s Fellowship in Brisbane, Australia with Peters Myers and McMeniman. This is where his experience with sports-related surgery began. On return to the UK in 1997 he became Senior Lecturer / Honorary Consultant at The Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital, Stanmore. His elective practice is exclusively knee surgery 'sports' knee surgery, and he undertakes around 100 ACL reconstructions per year, of which around 70% are on professional athletes, and a multi-ligament reconstruction weekly. This latter work represents one of the World’s largest experiences. He has been the primary knee surgeon for many of the UK’s professional sports teams, including 75% English Premier League Football teams, and 80% English Premiership rugby for many years. 70% of his patients are professional sportsmen and women. He is a founder of Fortius Clinic in central London. He has published over 120 peer-reviewed articles. His studies of knee motion employing weight-bearing, ‘dynamic’ MRI in the late 90's / early 2000's fundamentally changed thinking in the field. For this he was awarded The Hunterian Professorship by The Royal College of Surgeons of England for 2005-2006. Current research interests are in the fields of inflammatory response to knee injury, and biomechanics at Imperial College, London, where an anatomical study of the lateral soft tissue restraints aiding the ACL was awarded the Trillat Prize at ISAKOS 2015. Current work focuses on the medial soft tissue envelope especially with regard to ACL injury. He was a lead editor of the 39th Edition of Gray’s Anatomy published in December 2004.
