Mr Mark Higgins was a medical student in Nottingham and continued his orthopaedic training locally in the East Midlands region working in Nottingham, Derby, Chesterfield and Mansfield. He developed an interest in hip and knee arthroplasty and travelled to visit surgeons in the USA to experience day case hip and knee replacements. He completed his specialist training in the United Kingdom in 2018 before undertaking sub-specialist fellowships in primary and revision hip and knee arthroplasty in Sheffield, then in revision hip surgery in Nottingham. During this time he also received a distinction in a Masters Degree in Medical Education from the University of Nottingham and continues to dedicate time to surgical training through his NHS practice and as faculty on a number of UK courses Mark offers minimally invasive hip replacement surgery via anterior approach (AMIS), which is the only truly inter-muscular and inter-nervous approach, that reduces the trauma of hip replacement and can lead to a more rapid early recovery and return to mobility, work and sporting activity.
