Mr Graham Gie

Mr Gie Has performed over 4,500 primary and revision total hip replacements and was listed in the Daily Mail's "Top 10 UK Hip Surgeons" as voted for by orthopaedic colleagues around the country. Described as a "brilliant surgeon”, with one surgeon commenting he is “clearly the best hip surgeon in the country at the moment”.

Mr Gie specialises in hip replacement including complex hip replacement and revision hip replacement.

Mr Gie was brought up in Natal, South Africa, and underwent his undergraduate medical education at the famous Groote Schuur Hospital in Cape Town before returning to Natal for his postgraduate training. After successfully completing his UK surgical fellowship examinations in Edinburgh in 1984, he moved to Exeter in 1985 where he entered the UK orthopaedic training programme and worked as an hip clinical research fellow under the supervision of Professor Robin Ling, the inventor of the Exeter Total Hip Replacement. Along with Professor Ling, he invented the technique of Impaction Femoral Bone Graft for use in revision hip surgery. This technique has the capacity of restoring bone lost as a result of previously failed hip surgery and has revolutionised the lives of many patients.

During the latter stages of his higher surgical training, Mr Gie was awarded the prestigious John Charnley Research Fellowship during which he studied at the University Hospital in Nijmegen, The Netherlands, and visited The Hospital for Special Surgery in New York.

Having successfully passed his final orthopaedic fellowship examinations in 1990 and completed his higher surgical training in 1991, Mr Gie was appointed as a Consultant at the Princess Elizabeth Orthopaedic Hospital in May of that year. Having now performed over 4500 primary and revision total hip replacements, his clinical practice is now confined entirely to adult hip surgery with a particular interest in total hip replacement and revision hip replacement with impaction bone grafting.

Please note that Mr Gie retired from the NHS in November 2010 and is now only available privately at Nuffield Heath Exeter Hospital.
