I started my medical career at the Rostov-On-Don Medical Institute in Russia, graduating with First Class Honours in 1973. I subsequently underwent postgraduate training in General Surgery and Orthopaedics in the United Kingdom. I am a Fellow of the Royal Colleges of Surgeons of Edinburgh and Glasgow by examination and hold the Mastership in Orthopaedic Surgery degree of the University of Liverpool (1981). I rose through the ranks to Professorship of Orthopaedics at the Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, Nigeria in 1988. I subsequently returned to the UK and was appointed a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon at Chorley District General Hospital in Lancashire (1996-1998) and then at King George and Queen’s Hospitals in Essex, England (1998-2010). I have taught generations of medical students and postgraduate surgeons in Nigeria and the United Kingdom and have written three previous volumes in Orthopaedics. I was an Examiner in Surgery to the General Medical Council (UK) for the PLAB examinations (2002-2006) and Assessor in Surgery to the same body (1997- 2009)view less
