My name is Craig Thomas Donohue. 
I am an Orthopaedic surgeon trained in Melbourne with Fellowship training in the United Kingdom.
I studied Medicine at the University of Melbourne. 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. 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 the 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 have operating lists every week at Knox Private Hospital as well as Ringwood Private Hospital.
I also work at the Alfred Hospital. This allows me to perform hip replacement surgery and knee replacement surgery on public patients. This also involves dealing with multiply injured patients, and significant orthopaedic trauma. The Alfred is the leading trauma centre in Victoria and is the busiest trauma hospital in the southern hemisphere.
I am involved at the Alfred in the teaching of Orthopaedic Registrars who will be the future Orthopaedic Surgeons for the Victorian community. |
