Mr David Isaac (MBBS BSc (Hons) MS (Lond) FRCSEd (Tr & Orth) PGDip (Tr & Orth)) is a Consultant Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgeon with a specialist interest in knee injuries, primary & revision knee replacement surgery and partial (unicompartmental) knee replacement surgery.

Having trained in London and the South East, Mr Isaac undertook a postgraduate research degree at Oxford, studying the effects of knee ligament surgery on joint kinematics. He subsequently underwent higher surgical training in London, Kent and Sussex. He continued his training in Auckland, New Zealand, where he was a Fellow with the surgical team responsible for the treatment of many of the All Blacks Rugby injuries. He then gained further experience working in orthopaedic trauma at Auckland City Hospital before returning to the United Kingdom to complete a fellowship in hip and knee surgery in Oxford.


Since 2008, Mr Isaac has established a reputation for innovation in knee surgery as a consultant at Torbay and Mount Stuart Hospitals. His team became the first in the UK to routinely undertake partial knee replacement surgery as a day case procedure, and he was the first surgeon in the UK to trial the use of new technology during surgery, using Google Glass internet-enabled glasses to record procedures from a surgeon's eye perspective.


Mr Isaac has written numerous Publications and Posters, presented widely in the field of knee surgery and is actively involved in the training of future orthopaedic surgeons. He is a member of the British Orthopaedic Association and the British Association for Surgery of the Knee.

WHAT PATIENTS ARE SAYING

I had my ACL recon performed by Mr Isaac at Mt Stuart Hospital, I have now managed to completely return to all my sporting activities at the same level as pre injury and have no issues at all. Needless to say the outcome of the surgery has far exceeded my expectations and I'd have absolutely no qualms seeking out or recommending Mr Isaac in the future"

As today marks the first birthday of my replacement knee I felt I must drop you a line! The expression "I felt a new man" is possibly overused but for me it is absolutely the case. I go to the gym twice a week, and go hashing in the evenings, but more importantly I feel free again to enjoy life. I can nearly catch up with my grandson now!

I have just returned from a week's skiing, I was able to ski for the week pain free and walk well and return home with no ill effects. This was a huge improvement and in fact the trip was only possible due to the surgical treatment I received from you and your team

A big thank you to you and your team for giving me a new knee for my birthday! It is certainly a birthday I will never forget but your kindness, concern and friendly manner turned what could have been a really traumatic experience into an adventure that I could cope with reasonably well!
