My name is Craig Thomas Donohue. 
I am an Orthopaedic surgeon having trained in Melbourne with Fellowship training in the United Kingdom.
I studied Medicine at the University of Melbourne and I was granted my FRACS from the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons in 2006. This training was in Orthopaedic Surgery. I spent 4 years as an advanced trainee in Victoria.
I then worked as a locum consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon in rural Victoria for 6 months.
In 2006 my family and I moved to Cambridge in England where I spent 12 months as the Hip and Knee Fellow at Addenbrookes Hospital in Cambridge. This exposed me to a wide range of hip and knee surgery, often quite complex. I developed a broad experience in hip and knee surgery, both primary and revision cases. I performed hip and knee joint replacements and revisions. I gained more experience in the treatment of knee injuries involving knee arthroscopy and knee reconstruction.
I returned to my home in Melbourne in 2007. At that stage I joined the practice of Mr Tony Dunin at Knox Orthopaedic Clinic. My private practice here has expanded since then. I treat a wide range of hip and knee, as well as shoulder conditions. I treat sporting injuries and manage fractures. I operate 3 times per week at Knox Private Hospital. I am also a member of the Orthopaedic Department at the Alfred Hospital. This allows me to perform hip replacement surgery and knee replacement surgery on public patients. The Alfred Hospital is not only the leading trauma centre in Victoria but is also the busiest trauma hospital in the southern hemisphere. Being on the orthopaedic team at the Alfred Hospital allows me to treat and manage patients with multiple injuries following significant orthopaedic trauma. I am involved in the teaching of Orthopaedic Registrars who will be the future Orthopaedic Surgeons for the Victorian community. I have recently obtained my fellowship to the Australian Orthopaedic Association (F.A.Orth.A). |
