About Kom Muthusamy
Personal Profile
Miss Muthusamy is a highly experienced Consultant in Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgery, specialising in adult foot and ankle surgery and paediatric orthopaedics. She is currently based at Northampton General Hospital, where she provides expert care for a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions affecting both adults and children.
She qualified from the University of Aberdeen in 2000 and completed her basic surgical training in the North East of Scotland. Early in her career, she developed a strong interest in orthopaedics, leading her to pursue advanced training and subspecialisation in both paediatric and foot and ankle surgery.
Miss Muthusamy was awarded a prestigious two-year fellowship at Children’s Hospital Denver, Colorado, one of the leading paediatric orthopaedic centres in the United States. During this fellowship, she focused on gait analysis, studying how walking patterns relate to underlying orthopaedic conditions. Her work contributed to clinical understanding in this area and was published in international peer-reviewed journals, demonstrating her commitment to evidence-based practice and research-led care.
Following her time in the United States, she returned to Scotland to complete her Higher Surgical Training. She was awarded Fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh in 2013 (FRCS Trauma & Orthopaedics) - a recognised mark of excellence for consultant orthopaedic surgeons in the UK.
Miss Muthusamy further advanced her expertise through fellowship training at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital, Stanmore, where she specialised in both adult foot and ankle conditions and paediatric orthopaedic surgery. During this period, she was recognised with prestigious international travel awards, including:
- The British Foot and Ankle Travel Fellowship to Heidelberg, Germany
- The IPOS Travel Fellowship to attend the International Paediatric Orthopaedic Symposium in Florida, USA
These experiences have supported her in developing a broad and modern approach to treating complex orthopaedic conditions.
At Northampton General Hospital, Miss Muthusamy is known for delivering patient-centred orthopaedic care, with a focus on achieving the best possible outcomes. She adopts a multidisciplinary approach, working closely with physiotherapists, podiatrists, occupational therapists, and specialist practitioners to provide comprehensive treatment plans tailored to each patient.
Her clinical practice includes managing foot and ankle pain, bunions (hallux valgus), sports injuries, flat feet, high arches, tendon disorders, and arthritis, as well as a wide range of paediatric orthopaedic conditions, including gait abnormalities and growth-related issues. She is committed to helping patients improve mobility, reduce pain, and return to daily activities as quickly and safely as possible.
