He trained at St George's Hospital Medical School in London, completed higher surgical training in Oxford and Liverpool, and earned his Ph.D. in Orthopaedic Surgery from Oxford's Nuffield Department. His advanced fellowships in complex hip replacement (Oxford) and pelvic trauma surgery (Cambridge) reflect his commitment to mastering the most challenging joint cases.
Dr. Alsousou's practice covers the full spectrum of hip and knee problems—from arthritis and hip dysplasia to complex joint reconstruction, failed replacements, and pelvic trauma.

His patient-centred approach and innovative surgical techniques position him as a trusted choice for people facing complex hip, knee, or pelvic problems who want both advanced expertise and personalized care.
