About Mr David Lin

Mr David Lin is a fellowship-trained lower limb arthroplasty surgeon with a specialist focus on hip and knee replacement surgery and complex revision procedures.

He was born and raised in Singapore before relocating to London in 2004. He completed his medical degree with honours at Imperial College London, followed by foundation and core surgical training in the North West Thames region. He went on to complete higher surgical training on the Percivall Pott rotation based at The Royal London Hospital.

Mr Lin further advanced his expertise through a competitive fellowship at Royal North Shore Hospital in Australia, where he trained under Professor William Walter. During this time, he gained experience in advanced arthroplasty techniques including ceramic resurfacing, navigated anterior total hip arthroplasty, and robotic-assisted, kinematically aligned total knee replacement.

He currently practises within the NHS at Homerton University Hospital, where he performs a high volume of hip and knee arthroplasty procedures. His trauma interests include complex periarticular fractures and periprosthetic revision arthroplasty.

In addition to his clinical work, Mr Lin is actively involved in academic research, with publications in high-impact journals. He has also been appointed Clinical Lead at Homerton, where he focuses on improving patient pathways and supporting the transition towards a day-case arthroplasty model, aiming to enhance efficiency and patient outcomes.
