Mr Shahrier Sarker
MBBS MSc (Ortho Engr) FRCS (Trauma & Ortho)
Consultant Orthopaedic Hand and Wrist Surgeon
Introduction
Consultant Orthopaedic Hand and Wrist Surgeon Mr Shahrier Sarker MBBS MSc (Ortho Engr) FRCS (Trauma & Ortho) is a caring, dedicated practitioner, whose clear communication and expertise means that every patient receives first-rate treatment. Orthopaedic surgery is much more than a job to him, it is a vocation.
Three years after achieving his medical degree in 2006 from the National University of Singapore, Mr Sarker came to the UK to hone his skills in renowned hospitals like The Norfolk & Norwich University Hospital and Addenbrooke’s Hospital, Cambridge. He undertook his specialist trauma and orthopaedic training under the auspices of Health Education East of England before studying complex management of elective and trauma hand and wrist surgery on a prestigious Guy’s & St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust fellowship, learning from the best plastic hand and orthopaedic surgeons around.
About Mr Sarker
In 2017 he gained his MSc in Orthopaedic Engineering from Cardiff University and his ongoing commitment to his own education is demonstrated by the fact that he is currently studying for the British Society for Hand Surgery (BSSH) Diploma in Hand Surgery. He is also active in the teaching and mentoring of junior surgeons, holds the post of the educational lead for orthopaedics at Broomfield Hospital for students from Anglia Ruskin University and Queen Mary University of London. He is an Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) instructor and an Excellence in Surgical Supervision faculty member at The Royal College of Surgeons of England. He has been widely published in academic and professional publications and presented frequently at medical conferences in the UK and overseas.
He has recently been awarded a highly coveted BSSH funded position for the British Orthopaedic Association Future Leaders Programme for which he is developing a Complex Wrist Trauma pathway for the patients of Mid & South Essex. He is currently based at Mid & South Essex NHS Foundation Trust and practises privately in London & Essex
Charity work plays an important role in Mr Sarker’s life, and he sits on the British Society for Surgery of the Hand’s Overseas Project in Bangladesh’s executive committee, where he partners local surgeons to improve specialist hand surgery techniques.
A family man with two children, he enjoys the performing arts, cooking, football and cycling.

I would just like to thank you for the truly amazing results I have had with the surgical correction you made to fix the Dupuytrens Contracture I had on my left small finger. I was previously a professional guitarist and for the last two years the worsening condition meant I simply could not play the guitar.
Last time we spoke I explained that the brain was obviously confused over the fact I now had a working pinky. This confusion resulted in my inability to play even basic chords. However, a week later (7 weeks after surgery) my brain completed the rewiring and instantly I can now play the guitar as I used to. Unbelievable.
Can’t thank you enough.
