Narrative:
I have got over 24 yrs of experience in elective orthopaedics and through all these years have tried to keep up with the latest surgical skills, techniques and best practices in patient care.
I have been working as a dean of joint surgery and a vice director of orthopaedic department in a busy state hospital for the past 7 years, specializing in hip and knee joint surgery, special for dysplasia hips, old Perthes disease, complex developmental dysplasia of hip, high riding congenital hip dislocation, Avascular necrosis of femoral head, knee osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid arthritis of knee, etc.
I got MD degree in Kiel university in Germany under the guidance of Professor Hassenpflug MD in 2001, special for the joint surgery. I was once a visiting scholar in Florida Orthopaedic Institute under the guidance of Professor Bernaske MD in 2002, in Southwest medical center of Texas University in Dallas,TX in 2006, in Presbyterian Orthopaedic hospital in Charlotte, NC in 2008.
Because of the huge population and heavy demands on joint services, I have been working as a professor and a doctor for clinic practice in joint surgery filed. Outside of my clinical commitments, the rest of my time is taken up with training, research and teaching.
