Ronnie Davies

After qualifying from Cambridge University in 2006 with a distinction, Mr. Davies completed his orthopaedic training in Manchester.  He then undertook a Shoulder & Elbow surgery fellowship at the renowned Robert Jones & Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital.

He now works at Wythenshawe Hospital.  His subspecialist interests are in shoulder and elbow surgery and he really enjoys his job!  He treats the full range of shoulder and elbow problems, including rotator cuff tears, dislocations and arthritis using modern techniques in arthroscopic surgery.  However, he also believes that surgery is a last resort if non-surgical treatments including injections and physiotherapy fail to treat the problem.

He has published research papers and is currently running a study looking at rehabilitation after shoulder surgery.  His other interests include using technology to improve surgery, computer-guided surgery and 3D printing.  He has a 3D printer sitting on his dining room table much to the bemusement of Mrs. Davies!  

As education lead for the North West orthopaedic training programme, he has a major role in teaching and training junior doctors. Outside of medicine, he has a young family and enjoys cooking, playing squash and other racket sports.
