A true innovator, Adrian is acknowledged for his work by his fellow surgeons, many of whom he trains to perform his procedures. More importantly for Adrian is the fact patients benefit from and appreciate his skills as a knee surgeon.
Adrian has a particular interest in children’s knee problems. Among other innovations, he has developed a minimally invasive technique to treat anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries that has a fast recovery time and excellent long-term results.
Together with Adrian‘s close friends who have focused their entire careers on Osteotomy, he has set up the London Osteotomy Centre and this brings together international experts who often operate either two or three at a time such that they can deal with simple and complex cases in a very unique way.
Adrian is also set up an adolescent Sports Injury Clinic at the Cromwell Hospital and again draws on other experts as well as himself to deal with simple and complex Paediatric knee issues.
Other interests
Adrian has been a significant contributor to the European Society for Sports Traumatology, Knee Surgery and Arthroscopy (ESSKA). He’s been on the Academy editorial board and Arthroscopy committee and has frequently been asked to give instructional course lectures at this biannual meeting. He is also one of the founding members of the UK Knee Osteotomy Registry (UKKOR), the first national database dedicated to knee realignment (osteotomy) surgery. The Group has established a dataset that is now the largest followed group of osteotomy patients worldwide. Adrian started his educational programs in both Ligament and Osteotomy surgery back in 2006 and has run annual courses for Junior and Senior doctors training in both ligament surgery and knee preservation surgery. He travels most months to attend international congresses to carry out his teaching. He also runs a successful Fellowship program for senior orthopaedic surgeons in training. Adrian runs a masterclass in osteotomy training for surgeons which attracts interests from surgeons all over the world (www.londonosteotomy.co.uk).
