Roger Gundle
Supernumerary Fellow in Medicine; Honorary Senior Clinical Lecturer in Orthopaedic Surgery
Teaching
I give tutorials to first and second year undergraduate medical students in human anatomy and embryology, which are the greater part of the ‘Organisation of the Body’ paper. I have done this at Univ since 1989 and for fewer years for two other Oxford Colleges.
As part of my clinical work as Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon and Hon Senior Clinical Lecturer in Orthopaedic Surgery I teach surgery to clinical medical students. I teach junior hospital doctors and higher surgical trainees and Fellows in Orthopaedic Surgery.
I help with national and international instructional courses in orthopaedic surgery, and, In recent years, have taught on courses in arthroplasty surgery in Ethiopia and Zimbabwe.
Research
On the clinical front I participate in clinical trials looking at outcomes of surgical interventions in the field of hip and knee surgery. I am part of the group which first identified adverse reactions to metal-on-metal hip replacement implants which led to a worldwide change in clinical practice. We have recently completed a multicentre trial comparing oral and intravenous antibiotic therapy following surgery for musculoskeletal infection. This will have a major impact on resource utilisation in this field.
On the basic science front I collaborate with Professor Paul Bowness and his research group on studies of the cellular and humoral mechanisms of disease activity in the spondyloarthritides and other inflammatory joint diseases.
