Mr Sammy A Hanna

Honorary Clinical Senior Lecturer

I am a fellowship trained consultant orthopaedic surgeon at Barts Health NHS Trust with a clinical and academic interest in hip and knee reconstruction. My higher orthopaedic training was on the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital (RNOH) - North East Thames training programme. I successfully completed my training in 2014 and was awarded fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeon of England – FRCS (Tr&Orth) and included in the GMC specialist register for trauma and orthopaedic surgery.

I subsequently completed two year-long advanced hip and knee reconstruction fellowships; the first at the world-renowned Rorabeck-Bourne Joint Replacement Institute at the University of Western Ontario in Canada and the second at Barts Health NHS Trust in London. I gained advanced training in all aspects of hip and knee reconstruction (primary and revision arthroplasty) and orthopaedic trauma. I was also awarded the prestigious Mark Paterson (BJJ and EFORT) travelling fellowship in 2017 during which I visited centers of excellence for hip and knee surgery in Portugal, Spain and Italy.

Academically, I have 10 years' experience of conducting translational and clinical research during my time at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital and during my post-CCT fellowships in Canada and in the UK. My research endeavors have centered primarily around hip and knee reconstruction. My main interests include the assessment of outcomes following hip and knee surgery, and evaluating the behavior of different bearing surfaces and materials used in total hip and knee replacements. I have successfully completed a research doctorate (MD Res) at University College London studying the biological effects of wear particles generated from total hip replacements. I have presented and published widely on key aspects of hip and knee surgery, and continue to conduct research looking at implant design, performance, wear patterns and outcomes of total hip and knee arthroplasty.

It is a great privilege to be on the faculty of the Orthopaedic Trauma Sciences MSc course at QMUL directed by two exceptional surgeons and educators, Peter Bates and Kash Akhtar.
