James specialises in Primary and Revision Hip and Knee Replacement and Computer Assisted Knee Replacement.

James has been using robot-assistance to perform Partial Knee Replacement for the last three years. A CT scan is obtained the before surgery to plan the operation. The “Robot” is essentially a computer guided cutting tool. It helps produce a more precise implantation of the prosthesis than conventional hand instruments.

James has a special interest in complex primary hip and knee replacement. These are cases where there is a bone deformity or significant misalignment as well as damage to the joint. These types of joint replacements are more difficult and require special techniques and prostheses. There is no doubt experience helps!
