Professional bio

I completed my higher specialist training in Trauma & Orthopaedics on the Welsh Rotation and was awarded FRCS in 2012.  I also completed an MSc in Orthopaedic Engineering at Cardiff University and use a deeper understanding of mechanical principles in treating my patients. 

After gaining spinal surgical training in Cardiff I completed my accredited fellowship at the prestigious Spinal Unit in Queen’s Medical Centre, Nottingham where I gained extensive experience in all aspects of spinal management, especially adult spinal deformity, metastatic spinal pathology, microscopic and minimally invasive surgery.  I also trained with spinal neurosurgeons furthering my understanding of spinal pathology from both an orthopaedic and neurosurgical perspective.  I was awarded a travelling fellowship to the world-renowned Spinal Unit at Queen Mary Hospital, Hong Kong.

My NHS practice is in Royal Gwent Hospital.  Special interests include spinal trauma, metastatic spinal tumour, and complex degenerative spine surgery including neck and the back.  I use various spinal injections, radiofrequency ablation, open and minimally invasive fixation techniques, including cementation, for managing patients.  I objectively assess the outcomes of my interventions using PROMs (Patients Reported Outcome Measures).

I give back to science by being actively involved in research and teaching.  I have numerous articles, as well as national and international presentations, to my credit.  I am a reviewer for scientific journals and an editor for the orthopaedic in-training exams.

Testimonials

Patient, age 74

"St Josephs is a small hospital, with access to experienced medical staff. Appointments are available promptly, and treatment is discussed in detail.  Rooms in the wards are comfortable and quiet: quality of care during recovery is excellent. Staff at all levels in St Josephs are friendly and supportive. My surgery was to support my spine and to enable my life to be fuller. Mr Khurana diagnosed the problem, making use of modern technology and professional judgment and then operated to resolve the problem."
