Consultant & Orthopaedic Surgeon
View MoreDr. Mahmoud reflects on his evolution from early audit work on musculoskeletal tumors to a career shaped by evidence-driven practice. He describes major changes in UK orthopedic care—especially centralized trauma and revision networks—and compares these with Australia’s more privatized, flexible model. He emphasizes how research transformed his clinical reasoning, reshaping how he evaluates techniques, indications, and patient care pathways. Discussing FAI, he notes the shift from delayed arthroplasty toward earlier arthroscopy and soft-tissue procedures, supported by growing evidence and refined patient selection. He highlights increasing research demands, from funding to governance, and stresses the need for collaboration and methodological rigor. His final message to trainees centers on confidence, mentorship, and perseverance through the inevitable challenges of surgical training.
