Mr. Ali Al-Sabti

Mr Al-Sabti is a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon specialising in shoulders.

He trained in the UK and then worked in Saudi Arabia for seven years. He was appointed Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon at Barking, Havering and Redbridge Trust in 1995, where he has a one stop shoulder clinic which is a new and innovative way of diagnosing and treating patients.

Mr Al-Sabti's private practice is based at BUPA Hartswood Hospital in Brentwood. Since 1995, his practice has been managed by Mary Winford.

He elected to specialise in orthopaedics after developing a special interest in arthroscopic surgery of the knee, especially new procedures such as arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction following sports injuries. As a result of his involvement in sport injuries, he then became interested in shoulder surgery in athletes. He then subsequently expanded his area of shoulder surgery, particularly arthroscopic shoulder surgery.

At this time, this was a fairly new procedure and over the past few years arthroscopic shoulder surgery has enjoyed an explosion of interest from orthopaedic surgeons. Arthroscopic surgery has a clear advantage over open procedures - the field of vision is magnified by about 20 times and thus more detail is available. Also, a number of conditions are best diagnosed and treated arthroscopically.

Mr Al-Sabti is happy to see patients with all shoulder conditions and injuries, including sports injuries, as well as general orthopaedic cases. Patients should be referred through their general practitioner.
