Profile:
Mr Butt’s practice encompasses all aspects of shoulder and elbow surgery, from arthroscopic (keyhole) surgery to complex reconstructive and revision procedures. Along-side his colleagues, he receives referrals from other orthopaedic surgeons across the country for the management of complex instability, infection and revision joint replacement. He is a meticulous surgeon using up to date and evidenced based techniques to treat every patient’s individual needs.
