Dr Warren Leigh is a New Zealand trained orthopaedic surgeon who specializes in the management of sports injuries. His practice includes arthroscopic surgery of the hip, knee and shoulder, spine surgery and knee arthroplasty.
Dr Leigh is based at the Millennium Institute of Sport and Health and operates at Southern Cross North Harbour.
Warren grew up in Tauranga before moving to study medicine at the University of Auckland. He then completed the NZ Orthopaedic Association's advanced surgical training program, and was admitted as a fellow of the Royal Australian College of Surgeons in 2010. Following this he undertook 2.5 years of fellowship training in knee, sports and spine surgery.
In his new practice on the North Shore Warren is focused on hip arthroscopy and advanced sports knee and shoulder arthroscopy with Dr Mat Brick. Hip arthroscopy is an evolving technique that allows treatment of femoroacetabular impingement and intra-articular hip pathology.
In Melbourne, Dr Leigh worked under Professor Julian Feller and Mr Tim Whitehead at OrthoSport Victoria. He gained a large volume and breadth of experience in all aspects of knee related clinical assessment and knee surgery. A research component centred upon anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction and the world-class gait laboratory at La Trobe University, Melbourne.
In Adelaide he undertook the Neuro-Orthopaedic Spinal Fellowship at the Royal Adelaide Hospital with Professors Rob Fraser and Brian Freeman. This provided extensive training in all aspects of acute and elective adult lumbar and cervical spine pathologies. He also performed minimally invasive spinal surgery (MIS).
Warren has just graduated from the Surgical Leadership Program at Harvard Medical School.
Dr Warren Leigh is available to see patients at Orthosports in the Millennium Institute of Sport and Health.
