Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery
Plastic and reconstructive surgery is a specialist service offered at the Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre. This is provided by two surgeons, Mr Henk Giele and Mr Paul Critchley, who are part of a larger Plastic Surgery Department based in the West Wing at the John Radcliffe Hospital.
Services provided include a Hand Clinic (Monday a.m.), Hand Surgery theatre (Wednesday) as part of the Upper Limb Team, Osteomyelitis Clinic (Thursday a.m. weeks 1 and 3 each month), Sarcoma Clinics (Monday a.m. and Friday a.m.) and complex reconstruction for osteomyelitis, sarcoma, joint infection e.g. knee, hip and spine.
Referrals come from all over the country and also within the hospital itself. A good working relationship with all teams at the Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre has been forged and the volume and complexity of the work goes from strength to strength.
