About

Mr. Danny Acton is a highly experienced Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon with a focus on hip and knee surgeries. He has been serving as a consultant at Altnagelvin Hospital and the North West Independent Hospital since 2004.

After graduating from Queen's University in Belfast, Mr. Acton became a fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons in Edinburgh. He has extensive expertise in primary arthroplasty of the hip and knee, as well as soft tissue surgeries of the knee. His specific interests include total and partial knee replacements, ligament reconstruction of the knee, and patellofemoral instability.

Mr. Acton further honed his skills through specialty training at St George's Hospital in London and international fellowships in Sydney, Australia, and Musgrave Park Hospital in Belfast. These experiences focused on lower limb arthroplasty and soft tissue surgeries of the knee.

As an honorary lecturer with Queen's University Belfast, Mr. Acton shares his knowledge and serves as an educational supervisor for specialist registrars. He currently holds the position of lead clinician for the orthopaedic department and acts as the local representative for the UK National Joint Registry. Additionally, he is involved in several research studies, including a national study on the G7 acetabular component for total hip replacement and a randomised controlled trial on the management of patella instability.

Despite his professional commitments, Mr. Acton remains an active sportsman with interests in triathlon, CrossFit, football, and golf. This firsthand experience with training and competition gives him valuable insights into the demands placed on athletes.

In his practice, Mr. Acton plans to provide regular clinics and theatre sessions at the Kingsbridge Private Hospital NW & Galway Clinic, focusing on primary arthroplasty of the hip and knee. He is experienced in cemented and uncemented total hip replacements, kinematic total knee replacements, unicompartmental knee replacements, and alternative treatments such as osteotomy or bracing. He also specialises in acute knee sports injuries, anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, arthroscopic meniscectomy and repair, and medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction for recurrent patella dislocation.

“Evidence-based care tailored to each patient — taking the time to explain options and shared decisions.”
