Expert Witness in Prosthetics & Orthotics
Bobak Massah is a dual-practising Prosthetist and Orthotist. Nationally available. Accepting instructions from claimant, defendant and as Single Joint Expert.
Complex cases involving limb loss, amputation or orthotic need frequently require expert opinion across both prosthetics and orthotics. As one of relatively few HCPC-registered clinicians who actively practises in both disciplines, I can provide a single authoritative report where other experts would require two — reducing cost, avoiding conflicting opinion, and simplifying the instruction process.

Dual Registration: Prosthetics and orthotics under one instruction
Most expert witnesses practise in one discipline. I hold dual HCPC registration across both prosthetics and orthotics, covering the full range of lower limb presentations — from complex limb loss and microprocessor-controlled componentry to AFO/KAFO bracing, neurological conditions and paediatric orthotics.
Quantum & Costing: Technical costing credibility for quantum reports
Prior to qualifying as a clinician, I worked as an orthopaedic technician fabricating orthotic devices. This manufacturing background gives me a technical understanding of device construction, component pricing and life expectancy that is uncommon among expert witnesses — and which is directly relevant to quantum reports and lifetime cost schedules where figures must withstand cross-examination.
Report Quality: Formally trained in court-compliant reporting
I hold the Bond Solon Excellence in Report Writing Certificate — formal training in CPR Part 35 compliance that many experienced experts have never undertaken. My reports are structured to be clear, defensible and ready for use in proceedings without amendment.
Broad Clinical Exposure: NHS and private sector insight
With over 15 years of experience spanning NHS specialist rehabilitation, private practice and multi-centre locum work, I have direct knowledge of the differences between NHS provision and private sector standards — a distinction that frequently arises in both personal injury and clinical negligence claims.
