Clinical Practice: Mr Naqui works within the NHS as a Consultant Hand & Wrist Surgeon at Salford Royal Hospital (Northern Care Alliance NHS Trust). His practice comprises all open and arthroscopic hand and wrist procedures including complex tertiary referrals from other hospitals.

His current clinical interests within the Hand and Wrist include Hand & Wrist (sports) injuries, arthritis of the thumb, fingers, hand and wrist; minimally invasive Dupuytrens surgery, wide awake hand surgery (WAHS), unexplained wrist pain, one-stop carpal tunnel service, complex wrist injuries and distal radius fractures.

He is proficient in the management of complex Hand & Wrist trauma.

Training: He has had dual training exposure in both Orthopaedic and Plastic Hand surgery. He has previously completed Hand & Upper Limb Fellowships at Wrightington Hospital, an Advanced Training Post (ATP) Hand Ortho-Plastics Fellowship at University Hospital South Manchester and the prestigious AO Fellowship in Hand Surgery at Harvard University (Massachusetts General Hospital). He has gained wide experience in the management of complex hand and wrist trauma.

Academia & Research: His appointment to the Academic SpR rotation enabled him to develop a keen interest in audit and research. He has completed Masters degrees in both Orthopaedic Engineering and Hand Surgery and became the first consultant to be awarded both the British and European Hand Surgery Diplomas in 2013. He has engaged in research throughout the upper limb including Hand, Wrist, Shoulder and Elbow.

He has published research on the management of distal radius fracture, scaphoid fractures, scapho-lunate injury, wrist arthritis (STT arthritis), wide awake hand surgery, mallet finger injury, education and training opportunities in hand surgery, the use of technology for virtual consultation in hand surgery and ‘green’ (sustainability) issues in hand surgery. He lead and co-ordinated a North-West of England multi-centre prospective randomised controlled trial looking into the management of extra-articular distal radial fractures.

He has written several book chapters including: ‘Tendinopathy at the Wrist’ in the textbook ‘Disorders of The Hand’ and ‘Bone and Joint Injuries of the wrist and forearm’ in the Oxford Handbook of Hand Surgery and Hand Therapy.
