VISITING ACADEMIC Prof. Andy Williams CV

Knee surgeon at Fortius Clinic, London; Reader at Imperial College London; Honorary Senior Research Fellow, Nuffield Department of Orthopaedics, Rheumatology, and Musculoskeletal Sciences, University of Oxford.

He qualified from King’s College Hospital, London in 1987. Orthopaedic training was at The Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital, Stanmore and a year’s Fellowship in Brisbane, Australia. This is where his experience with Sports-Related Surgery began. On return to the UK in 1997 he became Senior Lecturer / Honorary Consultant at The Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital, Stanmore. His elective practice is exclusively Knee Surgery. Approximately 90% is soft tissue knee surgery, and he undertakes around 100 Anterior Cruciate Ligament reconstructions per year, of which around half are on professional athletes, and a multi-ligament reconstruction every 2 weeks. This latter work represents one of the World’s largest experiences. He is currently the primary knee surgeon for many of the UK’s professional sports teams, including many Premiership teams, especially in football, and rugby. 50% of his patients are professional sportsmen and women, and 50% of all his operative cases are on professional athletes. He is a founder and board member of Fortius Clinic in central London. In 2002 he was awarded the ABC Travelling Fellowship. He has published widely. His study of knee motion employing weight-bearing, ‘dynamic’ MRI has fundamentally changed thinking in this field. Current research interests are in the fields of inflammatory response to knee injury, and an anatomical study of the lateral soft tissue restraints aiding the ACL. He was a lead editor of the 39th Edition of Gray’s Anatomy published in December 2004.He was awarded The Hunterian Professorship by The Royal College of Surgeons of England for 2005-2006.He has published 50 peer-reviewed articles. He was on the executive of The British Association for Surgery of The Knee. He sits on the Editorial Board of the Bone and Joint Journal and the ESSKA Sports Committee.
