Expert anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction
Running diagonally through the inside of the knee joint, the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) plays a crucial role in joint stability and in controlling the back-and-forth movement of the lower leg. Injuries to the ACL are very common, particularly in sports that involve stopping or changing direction suddenly, landing awkwardly from a jump, or tackling, such as football, netball, tennis and skiing. Tears to the ACL do not repair themselves and result in long-term knee instability (giving way of the joint) and can lead to further cartilage tears if not addressed.
Mr Haslam works as part of an experienced multidisciplinary team to offer rapid assessment and expert management of ACL injuries. As a trainer in ACL reconstruction surgery, he is highly experienced in techniques to repair the ACL using a tendon harvested from elsewhere in the patient's body. There are a number of different options for ACL reconstruction and Mr Haslam will discuss a tailored approach to your knee based on the latest evidence, experience and your own sporting aspirations. In this rapidly developing field one size does not fit all and it may be a different graft choice is better for your knee.
Clinical interests
Mr Haslam is interested in knee injuries, developing this interest over the 18 years he has been a consultant. He performs over 400 arthroscopic procedures every year inclduing regular ACL reconstructions, medial patello-femoral ligament reconstructions and meniscal surgery.
Mr Haslam has developed a successful operation to treat Baker's cysts by key hole surgery. Most surgeons do not treat cysts at the back of the knee or do so using big incisions. Mr Haslam is the only surgeon in the region who treats Baker's cysts regularly with key hole surgery.
Research interests
Mr Haslam's research interests include paediatric knee surgery, Bakers cyst surgery, and the medial patello-femoral ligament.
A study about the quality of air flow in theatres proved air hoses should not be used in orthopaedic surgery.
Mr Haslam is interested in arthroscopic decompression of Baker's Cysts and is currently reviewing his patients who have undergone this surgery.
Mr Haslam is committed to patient satisfaction and with that in mind takes time to find out the results of his surgery. You will be asked to fill in a questionnaire about your knee at the consultation and may be contacted after by email or in person.
Published papers
Whilst he was a trainee, Mr Haslam published and presented several papers on topics ranging from the Anterior Cruciate Ligament, Total Knee replacement after High Tibial Osteotomy and Clubfoot.

Mr Haslam recently presented his results of arthroscopic Baker's cyst surgery in 52 patients with a success rate of over 92%. He is involved in a number of studies at Sheffield Children’s Hospital on topics including derotation of the tibia and congenital knee ligament surgery.
