Michael Eames

Michael Eames is a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon working in Belfast. He has
many years of experience treating trauma and orthopaedics, specialising in fracture
treatments, sports injuries and upper limb disorders. He is co-founder of
checkmyxray.com, a platform for travellers to upload their injury xrays when abroad
to get advice from a UK consultant orthopaedic surgeon on what the best treatment
should be, whether to stay abroad and get treated or to wait and receive treatment
back in the UK. This service is for all UK travellers when abroad but obviously those
who are into exhilarating higher risk sports like skiing are more likely to need this
advice service.
Michael has significant experience treating professional athletes and Olympians in
many sports including rugby, soccer, gaelic football, boxing, crossfit, swimming and
skiing. He performs surgery using both open and arthroscopic techniques for
fractures, muscle, tendon and nerve injuries. He has written several publications on
injuries to the arm, anatomy of upper limb and 3D modelling of movement disorders.
He is past president of the Irish Hand Surgery Society and is Medical Director of
Affidea Belfast and a member of the European Medical Advisory Board of Affidea.
He is a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of England. When not working
Michael enjoys sailing, especially offshore racing and skiing.
