About Mr (Barry) Shaun O'Brien
Mr. Shaun O'Brien is a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon specialising in soft tissue knee reconstruction, knee arthroplasty, foot surgery, and trauma surgery. He qualified with honours from Newcastle Medical School in 1990 and has pursued a career in orthopaedic surgery ever since. After completing his specialist registrar training in the northern region, Mr. O'Brien developed a particular interest in knee and trauma surgery, particularly soft tissue injuries around the knee. To further this interest, he undertook a fellowship in knee and sports medicine at the Brisbane Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Centre in Australia. During his time in Brisbane, he gained experience in advanced techniques for arthroscopic knee surgery, including ligament reconstruction, meniscal repair, and articular surface defect resurfacing. Mr. O'Brien also had the opportunity to work with elite athletes, providing care as part of the orthopaedic team for the Queensland Reds (rugby union), Brisbane Broncos (rugby league), and the Brisbane Bullets (basketball). While in Brisbane, he collaborated with the physiotherapy department at the University of Queensland, undertaking research projects on ACL reconstruction, rehabilitation, and shoulder stabilisation. He later completed a fellowship in trauma surgery at the prestigious Hospital for Special Surgery in New York, working under trauma surgeon David Helfet. Mr. O'Brien currently holds a consultant position at Sunderland Royal Hospital, where he focuses on knee replacement, knee arthroscopy, anterior ligament reconstruction, and sports medicine. With over 20 years of experience Mr O'Brien has now performed over 5,000 toatl knee replacements, 1000 partial knee replacements and 1,500 ACL reconstructions as well as having a large revision knee replacement practice.
"Evidence-based care tailored to each patient — taking the time to explain options and shared decisions."
