Gie MB ChB, FRCS, FRCS (Ed) (Orth) Princess Elizabeth Orthopaedic Centre, Exeter Graham Gie underwent his undergraduate medical education at the famous Groote Schuur Hospital in Cape Town before returning to Natal for his postgraduate training. 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, Graham 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. He completed his higher surgical training in 1991, and was appointed as a Consultant at the Princess Elizabeth Orthopaedic Hospital in May of that year. Having now performed over 4000 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. Graham is President-Elect of the British Hip Society.
