Paediatric Spine: Scoliosis is a curvature of the spine that most commonly affects adolescent females. Severe curves often require surgical correction. My research looks at different surgical techniques for achieving the best possible curve correction.



Paediatric Sports Injuries: Many children and adolescents are injured while participating in sports. As more children and adolescents have become active in sports over the years, anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries have become more common. My research focuses on surgical techniques for reconstruction of the ACL and post-operative functional outcomes of the knee.



Medical Education: As a result of my appointment to Director of Post Graduate Education in the Faculty of Medicine Orthopaedics department, I have become interested in studying how medical students and residents are trained. My goals include finding ways to improve the dissemination of knowledge and enhancing resident education.
