Mr Maulik Gandhi

BSc (Hons), MBChB (Hons), MPhil, MRCS, FRCS (Tr & Orth), MFSTEd. I studied at the University of Manchester where I was awarded BSc (Hons) and MBChB (Hons). My junior doctor training was completed in Wrightingon, Wigan and Leigh NHS Trust before moving to the West Midlands for my junior surgical training. I completed my specialist orthopaedic training on the Oswestry/Stoke rotation in the West Midlands. During this time I also completed an MPhil research degree from the University of Salford. I am one of the 1st cohort of doctors to be accepted onto the NHS Clinical Entrepreneur programme (NHS CEnt). After the completion of training, I was awarded the British Orthopaedic Association (BOA) International Fellowship and traveled to Seoul, South Korea. On my return to the UK, I completed post CCT fellowships at Coventry, Sheffield and Oswestry.  I joined Warrington and Halton NHS Trust as a locum consultant before taking up a substantive post at Bradford Teaching Hospitals in 2020.  I have published and presented nationally and internationally and some of my work can be found here:  https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Maulik-Gandhi-3

I have a sub-specialist interest in helping patients suffering with pain or reduced function due to their shoulder or elbow. I take a holistic approach in understanding patients and their problems. I appreciate that a management plan for one patient, may not be suitable or desirable for another. Management plans are a shared decision making process and are based on evidence.  Not all management plans require surgery, but when they do, I offer:  key-hole (arthroscopic) shoulder surgery for rotator cuff tears, shoulder stabilisation, SLAP repairs, capsular release for frozen shoulder, calcific tendinopathy, acromio-clavicular joint disruptions or arthritis  open shoulder surgery to deal with arthritis (shoulder replacements), acute/delayed surgery to deal with fractures (or sequalae of trauma) of the shoulder and humerus  open surgery around the elbow to deal with tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis), golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis), ulnar nerve entrapment (cubital tunnel syndrome), biceps tendon ruptures, olecranon bursitis, elbow arthritis/stiffness and elbow fractures.  carpal tunnel decompression
