SURGERY WITH STATE OF THE ART TECHNOLOGY
In small bone surgery, precision is imperative...
I have introduced Piezoelectric surgery into hand and wrist surgery in the UK. This is a state of the art technology that allows high precision and increased safety when performing bone cutting procedures. This specifically ensures more accurate small bone surgery with faster and improved healing, reduced postoperative pain and swelling.
