Mr Risebury’s medical education started at Cambridge University’s Pembroke College, where he gained an MA (Hons) Degree in Cognitive Psychology in 1995. He completed his MB BS (Hons) at Guy’s and St Thomas’ Medical School, London in 1998. Pre-registration House Officer posts in medicine and surgery were at Kingston Hospital and St Peter’s Hospital in Surrey. His Basic Surgical Training was in S.E. Thames, and a keen interest in Orthopaedic Surgery developed into a period as a Senior House Officer in Orthopaedics at St Richard’s Hospital in Chichester.

After working as a Registar Fellow in Southampton University Hospital he gained a place as a Specialist Registrar on the Wessex Training Programme in 2004. From January 2009 Mr Risebury spent 12 months in Brisbane, Australia working at The Brisbane Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Centre with Dr Peter Myers and Dr Peter McMeniman. This Internationally recognised Fellowship in Knee Surgery and Sports Orthopaedics helped prepare him for a Consultant Post as an Orthopaedic Surgeon with a special interest in all aspects of Knee Surgery.

Having worked as a Locum Consultant in Orthopaedics at Basingstoke and North Hampshire NHS Foundation Trust from July 2010, he was appointed into a substantive (permanent) Consultant Post as of November 2010. Since then his private practice has developed at The Hampshire Clinic. His practice includes all aspects of Knee Surgery. Special interests are sports injuries, arthroscopic surgery, ligament reconstruction, meniscal preservation (repair), cartilage surgery, osteotomy (re-alignment), aswell as total and partial knee replacement. 

Mr Risebury is actively involved in teaching programmes for other medical professionals, regularly lecturing nationally and internationally. He has been a faculty member on several courses teaching surgical technique in areas such as ACL reconstruction, meniscal repair and osteotomy.
