Mr Lindsay Muir

In 1996, Mr Muir was appointed as Consultant Hand and Upper Limb Surgeon at Salford Royal Hospital, the dedicated major trauma centre for Greater Manchester. Salford Royal Hospital is also one of the major teaching hospitals attached to the University of Manchester Medical School where Mr Muir is an Honorary Senior Lecturer in Orthopaedic Surgery. Mr Muir underwent extensive specialist hand surgery training. He spent six months in SOS Main Strasbourg; a unit known world-wide for its reputation and pioneering role. The work of the clinic ranges from the routine to the most complex congenital and microvascular cases. Mr Muir also trained as Shoulder Fellow at Wrightington, allowing him to study all aspects of upper limb work with Professor Trail, Professor Stanley and Mr Stilwell. This post allowed him to develop experience in particular in the fields of arthroplasty and arthroscopy, and of rheumatoid hand surgery. Currently, Mr Muir’s elective practice is devoted entirely to hand and upper limb surgery. He has treated professional musicians and national team cricket players. In addition, he has a considerable systemic sclerosis practice.

Mr Muir’s clinical interests extend to all aspects of hand and wrist surgery. His clinical practice involves the management of carpal tunnel syndrome and other nerve surgery, Dupuytren’s contracture, hand arthritis, wrist fracture, wrist arthritis, finger arthritis; scleroderma, trigger finger and finger fractures.
