Mr Adam Brooks

I studied undergraduate medicine at Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge University and then moved to New College, Oxford University for clinical training, graduating with BM BCh in 1990. I became a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of England (FRCS) in 1994. After junior hospital posts, I returned to Oxford for my specialist orthopaedic training, gaining the FRCS (Tr&Orth) exam in 2000. I completed his training with a fellowship in Trauma and Arthroplasty at St Michael’s Hospital, Toronto in 2001. In addition to my clinical practice as outlined above, I have been an elected Trustee and member of Council of the British Orthopaedic Association (2014-16), as well as being a member of its Professional Practice Committee and Trauma Committee. I was Chairman of the British Orthopaedic Directors Society from 2010-12. I teach on Hip Arthroplasty Courses (Principles of Exeter Cementing Courses) and have been faculty for AO, the international Trauma group, since 2005, chairing their Principles of Fracture Management Courses from 2014-16. I was Clinical Lead of the Orthopaedic Department, Great Western Hospital, Swindon, from 2006-13 and currently I am Associate Medical Director for Planned Care, responsible for the management of all surgical and anaesthetic services in the Trust.

I have been in post as consultant orthopaedic surgeon since 2002. My elective practice is predominantly in hip and knee surgery. My hip practice includes primary, complex primary and revision hip replacement, including those with complex bone loss requiring custom implants, trabecular metal augmentation or impaction bone grafting. I perform about 130-150 hip replacements per year. I also offer hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome and I am a member of the British Hip Society. My knee practice is mainly that of degenerative knee conditions, for which I have done over 400 knee replacements. I offer arthroscopy for meniscal pathology associated with mechanical symptoms and also see a large number of patients for non-surgical management.
