About Mr William Dunnet

Mr William Dunnet is a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon. He completed basic medical training at Cambridge University Medical School and Guy's Hospital, developing an interest in knee surgery during general training at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital, Stanmore, and King's College Hospital, London.

Following his general orthopaedic training, he spent a year in Australia studying at the Institute of Orthopaedics in Melbourne and the North Sydney Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine Centre which specialises in reconstructive and replacement surgery of the knee. It was there that he also worked with several professional Australian Rules Football players, providing an insight into the special demands of the elite athlete. He completed his training in the Hand Unit at the Queen Victoria Hospital, East Grinstead, renowned for the pioneering work performed upon the World War II fighter pilots (the Guinea Pig club).

Mr Dunnet was one of the first surgeons to introduce the arthroscopic assisted hamstring anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) into East Kent, in 1999. He published on ACL reconstruction and more recently on patello femoral instability. His current research interest is in refining ACL reconstruction with an "All Inside" technique to optimise the use of a patient's hamstring graft (allograft).

Fabulous! I came in for a knee operation. The nurses on the day, were very nice and Mr Dunnet was very professional, reassuring and answered any questions I had. I was very well looked after by all the staff. My recovery room was spacious, clean and welcoming. I was a day patient. Thank you to all who made my day a reassuring and friendly one and to Mr Dunnet especially, who carried out the operation, who reassured me and made me feel confident before operating on me. Everything is good. My experience couldn't have been better!
