From very early on, he showed interests in foot and ankle surgery and became a foot and ankle consultant at the largest District General Hospital in Sweden, Vasteras Central Hospital.
In 2011, the wave of poly-trauma and centralisation of care of critically ill patients started and Mr Bakhshayesh wanted to be a part of it. He went to Birmingham and became a fellow of Sir Professor Keith Porter with fellowships in Knee Surgery, Foot and Ankle Surgery and Limb Reconstruction.
Upon return to Sweden, Mr Bakhshayesh worked in Vasteras Central Hospital where 50% of his practice was as a Complex Fracture Surgeon and 50% as Foot and Ankle Surgeon while also being head of the Foot and Ankle Surgery.

He worked in a small group of experienced surgeons taking care of complex trauma cases for the population of Greater Stockholm, here he was responsible for the care of all complex foot and ankle injuries.
