About Simon Fogerty
Personal Profile
Mr Fogerty is a Consultant Orthopaedic and Trauma surgeon at the Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust. He has an established private practice at Huddersfield Private Hospital in Birkby, Huddersfield.
He offers a comprehensive elective (planned care) and trauma, shoulder and elbow service, and adopts a sensible and practical approach to solving his patients’ problems. Mr Fogerty tailors solutions to the individual and ensures that his patients understand and can influence their treatment journey.
He graduated with honours from Sheffield University Medical School in 2001 and after a period of surgical training in Sheffield, was appointed to the Yorkshire Orthopaedic Higher Surgical Training Programme based out of Leeds. During his training, Mr Fogerty undertook a Diploma in Sports and Exercise Medicine, gaining an in-depth knowledge about the benefits of exercise and the best treatments for injuries in all levels of athlete.
At the end of his general orthopaedic training, he undertook a 12 month period (2013) of specialist training (fellowship) with world-renowned upper-limb surgeon, Dr Laurent Lafosse MD in Annecy in the French Alps. There, he learnt first-hand the best and most modern approaches to treat shoulder and elbow problems. Whilst in France he also spent time with Dr Gilles Walch in Lyon, who is widely regarded as the modern-day master of the open Latarjet procedure. Further upper limb experience was gained when he spent a month in Boston (USA) with Dr JP Warner at Massachusetts General Hospital. Dr JP Warner is a shoulder specialist focusing particularly on revision (second time) joint replacement and tendon/muscle transfers for rotator cuff deficiencies.
In the shoulder, Mr Fogerty is a specialist in arthroscopic rotator cuff surgery and instability treatments, including the Latarjet procedure (coracoid transfer). He also offers open surgery for conditions around the elbow such as tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) and ulnar nerve entrapment.
He is invited as an expert on many regional and national courses and is involved in the training of trainee surgeons in the Yorkshire region. He is actively involved in audit and research as part of clinical governance within the NHS Trust and have several publications in surgical literature.
Mr Fogerty grew up in the North-West of England and his passion for the outdoors drew him to Yorkshire. He now lives locally and has a busy home life with his wife and three children. He enjoys spending time with his family and doing outdoor sports, preferably combining the two. He enjoys mountain and road biking as well as running, kayaking, windsurfing, water-skiing and snow skiing. In the last decade he has focused on endurance sports and competitions including the OMM (Original Mountain Marathon) and Adventure Racing. His love for sport and the outdoors means that he has the upmost sympathy for injured sportsmen and women and aims to treat all patients with the goal of reinstating their pre-injury activity level.
