He also attended a trauma fellowship at the prestigious University Hospital in Dresden, learning the latest techniques in treating severe foot and ankle injuries. He also attended foot & ankle units in France and The Netherlands to develop his interest in arthroscopic (keyhole) surgery.

Mr Zaw was appointed Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon at The Hillingdon NHS Foundation Hospital in 2012 and built up a comprehensive foot and ankle service for the local population. He offers treatment of all foot and ankle conditions using the most advanced surgical techniques, in a truly holistic manner.

He also provides shockwave therapy for plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendon problem. He is well published in international journals and orthopaedic textbooks, and constantly keeps up to date with the latest evidenced-based research. He has presented papers at several international meetings including keyhole surgery around the ankle joint (hindfoot arthroscopy), cartilage regeneration surgery and fixation of complex fractures in the heel bone (calcaneus).
