Biography
I have gained experience in general orthopaedics, in trauma as well as in elective orthopaedic practice both in Sri Lanka and in the United Kingdom. My practice in orthopaedics spans nearly ten years from the year 2000 to date of which the majority of my experience was gained in my native country, Sri Lanka. Inaddition to primary and revision joint replacements I am specially interested in instrumentation of traumatic spinal fractures and limb salvage surgery. Specialties:My special interests are Limb salvage and trauma. In the field of limb salvage surgery I have expeprience in salvage and compartmentectomy of limbs involved in bone tumours with allograft recontruction. In the field of trauma my special interest is on salvaging limbs deamed beyond salvage by most salvage scoring systems with emphasis on re-implantation of severed limbs due to traumatic amputations. My current series is 36 limb re-implantations during the past 10 years.
