Dr. Ikram Nizam was educated in Oxford, Leicester, and London UK before moving to Australia where he is now a leading Melbourne Orthopaedic Surgeon with over 20 years of orthopaedic experience.
Dr. Nizam also developed the Bikini anterior total hip replacement and published on this over 11 years ago.(https://ozorthogroup.com.au/pdf/the-bikini-hip-replacement-surgical-technique.pdf)
The Bikini Hip Replacement is a minimally invasive Anterior Hip Replacement Technique which is soft-tissue and vessel-sparing (preserves the circumflex blood vessels) compared to the standard anterior hip replacement. The Bikini incision itself has a better cosmetic scar along the natural ’Langhers lines’ of the skin, easily hidden under the ’bikini’ or underwear. This scar is preferred by patients to the standard longitudinal scar of a standard anterior hip replacement.
Dr. Nizam is a surgical teacher and educator of anterior hip replacement surgery techniques to surgeons around the world and presents research and techniques in international meetings regularly
He regularly visits international centres around the world to teach this minimally invasive technique and frequently attends international meetings/conferences/surgeons to give talks / keep upto-date with advances in hip and knee surgery to achieve the best outcomes.
