Mr Badri Narayan

Mr Narayan has been a Consultant in Orthopaedic Trauma and Limb Reconstruction at the Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust since 2002. He began his medical career in India in 1987. He passed the FRCS (Surg) in 1995, and commenced Specialist Registrar training in trauma and orthopaedic surgery in the Liverpool Rotation in 1996, completing his final year of training in Belfast at the Royal Victoria Hospital, the Musgrave Park Hospital, and the Queen’s University Belfast.

Mr Narayan’s elective practice is exclusively in:

• The management of complications of fracture treatment; including non-union, malunion, infected non-union, and osteomyelitis;
• The treatment of limb deformity; including inequality of limb lengths, using internal and external fixation with the use of Ilizarov frames, Taylor Spatial Frames, etc;
• The treatment of native bone infection such as osteomyelitis; and
• The treatment of complex pathology and deformities of the ankle and hindfoot.

Mr Narayan’s trauma practice consists of the management of general orthopaedic trauma and outpatient management of soft tissue injuries, complex fractures, open fractures, and the use of circular frames, and multiple injury patients and polytrauma. He is routinely referred patients with complex or ‘problem’ fractures of the appendicular skeleton, referred from other hospitals in the region, including Lancashire, North Wales and the Isle of Man.

Mr Narayan runs Orthoplastic Clinics and operates with plastic surgeons regularly. He also participates in Multidisciplinary Clinics with neurologists, neurosurgeons, and rehabilitation physicians in treating skeletal problems after neurological injury and trauma.

Mr Narayan treats orthopaedic trauma and major trauma, including patients with multiple injuries. His specific area of acute trauma expertise is in treating complex fractures of both upper and lower limbs, multiply injured patients, open fractures, and the use of external fixation devices such as Ilizarov frames for severe fractures. His entire elective practice is in the treatment of complications of fractures and fracture treatment, and in limb deformity.

Mr Narayan’s research interests include the management and outcomes of fractures and limb deformities using internal and external fixation. He has attended and presented at over 100 courses and conferences on orthopaedics and trauma worldwide.
