He developed expertise in the treatment of many paediatric musculo-skeletal disorders, especially developmental dysplasia of the hip. In 1986 he worked at the Hospital for Sick Children in Bristol, UK. Whilst in Bristol he learnt further techniques including hip ultrasonography which he introduced as a screening tool for babies when he returned to Sydney in 1987. Since then he has personally performed over 10,000 hip ultrasound scans on infants.
