• Fracture management - upper and lower limb fractures, including periarticular fractures of the lower limb and foot

• Orthoplastic reconstruction - joint cases with plastic surgery to address combined bone and skin problems

• Deformity correction - techniques such as acute correction and internal fixation, as well as gradual correction using the Taylor spatial frame

• Non-union management - cases where fractures fail to heal properly

• Limb-length discrepancy - solutions for patients requiring lengthening procedures

• Bone infection management - both fracture-related and haematogenous infections

• Segmental bone loss - utilising advanced methods such as masquelet, motorised transport nails and external fixator-assisted bone transport

Mr Guryel, along with his colleague Mr Robertson, leads the limb reconstruction MDT at University Hospitals Sussex and regularly attends regional and national limb reconstruction meetings, ensuring all complex cases are discussed openly to ensure the optimum treatment for each patient.
