About

Stephen McDonnell is an Associate Professor at the University of Cambridge and a Consultant Knee and Hip Surgeon working at Addenbrookes Hospital. He undertook his research MD and orthopaedic surgical training in Oxford, based at the Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre. He has a specialist knee and hip "Sports and Joints" fellowship in Melbourne with the Melbourne Orthopaedic Group. He gained an extensive experience in patients with sports injuries and arthritis. He believes that each patient should be prescribed a personalised package of care and treatment program.

 I have a special interest and undertake the majority his knee replacements, partial unicompartmental knee replacements (sometimes called knee resurfacing) only replacing the damaged area of the knee, which have lower risks from surgery and can provide a superior functional outcome for patients. 

He has a keen interest in sport and has been the match orthopaedic surgeon for first-class rugby internationals, and is a regular motorsports doctor at Silverstone for the Formula One British Grand Prix.

He is heavily involved in research, education, and lectures locally, nationally and internationally. He has developed the undergraduate orthopaedic curriculum, inspiring orthopaedic medical students to be orthopaedic surgeons of the future.
