Dr Negus performs primary and revision knee replacement surgeries, arthroscopic and sports injury surgery, osteotomy and realignment surgery. With over 15years of training, he brings a wealth of experience and a unique skillset to the Orthopaedic team.
Dr Negus’ career in Orthopaedics has a strong academic and research focus, particularly on optimising patients’ post-operative outcomes with individualised, detailed approaches. He has contributed chapters for books, published in prestigious journals, presented his research findings at conferences worldwide, and is an invited reviewer for several major international orthopaedics journals. Part of his PhD thesis examined the use of novel technology in rehabilitation after knee replacement surgery. His research in this area has earned him several awards, including the Foundation for Surgery Scholarship from the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (2010) and the AOA Registrars Association prize for best registrar research.
Dr Negus has been awarded higher degrees from the University of Cambridge, Imperial College London and the University of Sydney. He has worked and trained both in Sydney and in London, with visitations and fellowships across the United Kingdom and Europe to enhance his specialist training.
