Mr William David Goodier

He qualified in 1985 and has been a lead consultant in trauma orthopaedics for 15 years, serving as Head of Department for three of those years.

Mr Goodier delivers lectures around the UK and is interested in trauma management, including sports injuries; he has treated professional athletes for knee, foot, and ankle disorders. He also has vast experience in arthroscopic and ligament surgery on the knee and ankle joints, as well as lower limb and foot procedures. He has published on the topics of external fixators (Ilizarov and Taylor Spatial Frames), The Precice Limb Lengthening Nail, and other limb reconstruction procedures. He is also the president of the British Limb Reconstruction Society. Diseases, Medical Tests and Treatments include: • Arthroscopy • Knee Preservation Surgery • Limb-Lengthening Surgery • MRI Scan (Magnetic Resonance Imaging Scan) • Ankle Joint Fusion • ACL Reconstruction • Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL) Reconstruction • Tibial Tubercle Transfer • Osteoarthritis • Ankle Sprain • Peroneal Tendinopathy • Femur Fractures • Foot Fractures • Forearm Fractures
