Mr Graeme Hopper is a Consultant Orthopaedic Knee Surgeon at Ross Hall Hospital in Glasgow, specialising in knee surgery with a particular expertise in sports knee injuries. He has experience treating patients of varying levels of activity, from amateur recreational athletes to international level professional athletes.
Mr Hopper prides himself on providing a personalised care approach which involves keeping up to date with modern treatments and adopting an evidence-based approach. He specialises in keyhole surgery of the knee (arthroscopy), including ligament reconstruction/repair, meniscus/cartilage repair and kneecap (patella) stabilisation surgery. Additionally, he has experience treating patients with early and late arthritis using a range of methods from non-operative measures like physiotherapy or injection therapy (steroid/hyaluronic acid/platelet-rich plasma (PRP)), to more invasive procedures such as knee realignment surgery (osteotomy) or knee replacement surgery (partial or total).
Mr Hopper graduated from the University of Glasgow in 2009 and undertook his orthopaedic specialist training in the West of Scotland. During his training he completed his thesis on ligament repair around the knee using the Internal Brace, for which he was awarded an MD in sports medicine. He undertook his fellowship training with the highly respected knee surgeon Dr Bertrand Sonnery-Cottet at the Centre Orthopedique Santy, FIFA Centre of Excellence in Lyon, France.
Mr Hopper was awarded the prestigious European Society of Sports Traumatology, Knee Surgery and Arthroscopy (ESSKA) - Chelsea FC Sports Trauma Fellowship, allowing him to work within the medical department at Chelsea Football Club. He was also awarded the British Orthopaedic Sports Trauma and Arthroscopy Association (BOSTAA), Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow (RCPSG) and West of Scotland Orthopaedic Research travelling fellowship awards. This enabled him to spend time at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota, Midwest Orthopaedics at Rush in Chicago and the Hamburg University Hospital in Germany to further his skills in multi-ligament knee injuries, cartilage restoration and orthobiologic injection therapy.
