A porcine study to examine the incidence & patterns of fracture after different shapes of patellar bone plugs. A requirement for MCh-Trinity College, Dublin. This project was planned in two stages
37. a) Studying the properties of porcine cancellous and cortical bone in relation to stress risers.
38. b) Impact testing the porcine knees after harvesting the bone patella bone graft and loading knee extensor mechanism after harvesting various sizes and shapes of patellar bone grafts - patellar tendon and tibial bone graft. The conclusion drawn at the end

of this project was that round cornered patellar bone plugs are better and safe than the traditional sharp cornered ones.

TEACHING

UNDERGRADUATE TEACHING

As Senior Lecturer, University of Sheffield at the Northern General Hospital, I have been responsible for organising students’ courses, including fourth year (level 3) and final year (level 5) as well as the pre-clinical introductory course (Basic Clinical Skills). This included organising their lectures, seminars and clinical attachments. During the academic year I lectured one to two hours weekly. I also organised the Orthopaedic training for the BSc Course for paramedics.

POSTGRADUATE TEACHING

Apart from teaching the trainees, since April 1997, I have been lecturing on various international limb reconstruction courses, meetings and other venues, as well as local arthroscopy and all knee related topics and courses.

RESUME

Very soon after I started my internship, I realised that I was keen on a surgical speciality. The first available opportunity was in Orthopaedics at the Alexandria University Students’ Hospital. This is a small (110 beds at the time) hospital with a strong tradition in care for sports injuries. As, at the time, I myself was heavily involved in sports, this tied in with my interests and I quickly became comfortable with a broad spectrum of knee injuries. At that stage, open menisectomies were still practised as were various extra-articular reconstructions for Anterior Cruciate Ligament injuries, including pes ansereni transfers etc. This was in addition to some Orthopaedics and trauma. It was not until I joined the Army for my statutory military service, that I was exposed to more serious trauma. Following a short period of military training I was lucky to train with Gen/ Dr Samy Mansour FRCS, (now Professor Mansour) a local pioneer in hip surgery in Alexandria. With him I saw my first total hip replacements. Across the street from the General Military Hospital in Alexandria was the Hadara University Hospital with 320 Orthopaedic & trauma beds. This was the major tertiary referral centre from all of the north Coast and the northern half of the Nile Delta. When not on duty, I would go across to attend meetings, ward rounds etc. I finally managed to secure a visiting residency there, at first on part-time basis but eventually full time. There, I was exposed to long hours of backbreaking work, many sleepless nights in a row. It was well worth it, however. As many who have trained there in that era, will vouch, the experience one can gain there is priceless. The take system was one week in three. During the take, I would be resident in the hospital round the clock. The number of trauma admissions was always more than theatre lists or human resources could cope with. A large number were treated conservatively on traction etc. I was also exposed to the treatment of Acute and Chronic Osteomyelitis, some tuberculosis and a considerable amount of deformity corrections for Polio etc. One of the surgeons I trained with, there was the late Professor Abdel-Razzak. He was the first to pioneer scoliosis surgery in Egypt. His other interest was hand surgery and I was later to work quite closely with him at El-Mouassat Hospital, where he also performed most of his private surgery. In October 1983, a few months after passing my MChOrth(Alex) exams, I secured a permanent post as Specialist in Orthopaedic Surgery at the Alexandria University Students’ Hospital, where I continued to cultivate my interests in sports injuries. I was impressed by the disabling chronic instability of the ankle amongst top level football and basketball players and performed a series of lateral ligament repairs having developed a non-invasive technique for radiological diagnosis of complete tears (MChOrth thesis). The results were extremely encouraging. At that early stage I was also involved in the day to day management of trauma and had a particular interest in osteosynthesis using AO techniques. Apart from this I performed a number of femoral and tibial lengthenings using mainly the Wagner Technique (and others later including callotasis), in addition to lower limb deformity corrections. The AO course in Davos in 1984, was my first real exposure to theinternational community of Orthopaedic surgeons, meeting such eminent people as Martin Allgower, the late Hans Willeneger, Roli Jacob, Joe Schatzker, Charles Rockwood Jr (who was the guest speaker that year) and many others. It was Professor Allgower, who, knowing my interests in knee surgery, helped arrange for my AO Fellowship in 1986 with Werner Muller outside Basel. There quite apart from the trauma, I was also exposed to a large number of ACL reconstructions as well as my first real exposure to arthroscopic surgery with Roger Baumgartner. I also took the opportunity to visit several AO centres in Switzerland and Southern Germany, meeting Maurice Muller and Professor Ganz in Bern, Professor Morscher in Basel, Professor Gschwend and Dr Steiger in Zurich and Professor Magerl in St Gallen. I also visited a number of surgeons with an interest in knee surgery such as Roli Jakob in Bern and Dr Munzinger in Zurich. Meeting with Professor Weber in St Gallen fired my interest in the management of difficult nonunions and later in the biology of fracture healing. It was in 1989, having gained considerable experience with AO techniques, that I commenced my training in the UK, mostly in Belfast. There, apart from general Orthopaedics and trauma, I became adept in techniques of intramedullary nailing as well as arthroplasty of knees and hips. In this respect, the training there complemented my past experience nicely. There I was exposed to the vast Belfast experience in trauma management, in general and polytrauma in particular. My interest in complex trauma continued ever since. During my training in the UK, I was always keen on staying abreast of recent advances in my other main interests. I therefore attended a large number of courses on various subjects, such as knee surgery but also nurturing my interests in lower limb reconstructive surgery and external fixation, which I had developed from my past experience with Polio patients. During my training in Belfast, I used my annual leave to spend six weeks as locum Senior Registrar to Mr Anthony Hall at Charing Cross. There, and also assisting him at his private sessions, I saw his techniques in arthroscopic ACL reconstruction. Later in 1995 I took a four month fellowship at the Droitwich Knee Clinic, with Mr Angus Strover and others. There as well as exposure to a large number of arthroscopic reconstructions and meniscal repairs, I developed an interest in patellofemoral problems and learnt more techniques of dealing with them in a more scientific fashion, often guided by isokinetic testing (KinCom). During a short period back in Egypt, apart from initiating a Sports Injury Clinic at Alexandria University, I was instrumental in the set up of a new dedicated theatre suite including up to date digital arthroscopic equipment and motorised instruments, as well as equipment for documentation. My interest in lower limb reconstruction and complex trauma was maintained throughout this period. Apart from courses, including the Ilizarov Basic Course, I visited Maurizio Catagni in Lecco, Italy for one week. This as well as other visits helped my practice both in Egypt and later in the UK. Duties of Previous Post: As Honorary Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon, at the Northern General Hospital in Sheffield, I had taken charge of the day to day management of trauma for the academic unit. Working in close association with Professor Michael Saleh, I have learnt a large number of different external fixation techniques in very complex situations. I took part in the running of the Adult Limb Reconstruction Service, with one clinic and one to two theatre sessions weekly, apart from my trauma list. Within the broad spectrum of complex trauma, I have developed a special interest in complex distal tibial fractures including the management of Pilon fractures with minimally invasive techniques and similarly in the treatment of complex tibial plateau fractures. This combined with my past experience with reconstructive surgery of the lower limb and lengthening for Polio patients and in the treatment of Chronic Osteomyelitis has made my work with the Sheffield Limb Reconstruction Service all the more fruitful and enjoyable. I also handled the day to day administration of clinical matters relating to the academic unit including trauma and limb reconstruction. Running of the weekly audit meetings for the academic unit and participation in the six-weekly Orthopaedic Division meeting were part of my routine duties. My academic duties as Senior Lecturer included organising the undergraduate student courses, at this difficult time of change. These included fourth year and final year students. Arranging their timetable and curriculum for tutorials as well as teaching them personally (one to two hours per week) and arranging and participating in their assessments at the end of each module. I have always enjoyed teaching tremendously, whether under or postgraduate.
