Henry qualified from University of Leeds Medical School in 1998 and completed basic surgical training in Yorkshire and London. He then undertook orthopaedic specialist training in East Anglia, which led to completion of the Fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons (Trauma and Orthopaedics) in 2008.
Henry carried out his specialist fellowship at the Centre for Hip Surgery, Wrightington. After his fellowship training he undertook visiting fellowships in Berne, Switzerland and Aarhus, Denmark, to learn techniques for periacetabular osteotomy (treatment for young adults with hip dysplasia) and for fixation of pelvic and acetabular fractures. He also spent a year during specialist training working in Blantyre, Malawi providing orthopaedic surgical care to children with musculoskeletal problems and injured adults. Support for this was provided by World Orthopaedic Concern UK.
Henry joined WWL in 2010 as part of the team who provides the regional pelvic and acetabular fracture service. He is also part of the trauma team at the Royal Albert and Edward Infirmary, with a special interest in fractures of the lower limb. He has a special interest in periprosthetic (fractures around joint replacements) fractures of the acetabulum, hip and knee.
In his elective work Henry concentrates on problems of the hip and knee. He performs primary hip and knee replacements for arthritis and other problems such as post trauma, previous surgery and deformity in both young and elderly patients. He performs revision hip and knee replacements in patients who have failed implants for a variety of reasons, such as loosening and infection. He is particularly interested in the assessment of patients who have failed metal on metal hip replacements.
Henry works closely with the John Charnley Trust (registered charity) to continue the legacy of research and education in the field of orthopaedic surgery started by Sir John Charnley at Wrightington.
