Mr Nathan White is an orthopaedic surgeon with subspecialty training in all aspects of knee surgery, including complex ligament surgery, revision and robotic knee replacement, sports knee injury and knee preservation surgery.
He began his career as a physiotherapist, and that experience continues to shape his surgical practice, informing his collaborative, multidisciplinary approach and his understanding of non-operative pathways, rehabilitation and return to activity.
During medical training, Mr White gravitated towards orthopaedics. After completing specialist training in Melbourne, he undertook subspecialty knee fellowships in the UK and France, gaining skills in elite sports medicine through his time with Prof. Andy Williams at Fortius and then Chelsea Football Club. His fellowship in Lyon focussed heavily on knee replacement surgery including revision and complex primary cases. In 2018, he was awarded the APKASS travelling fellowship to the USA where he visited centres such as Johns Hopkins, UCLA, and the LA Lakers. He now directs the Melbourne Knee Fellowship, responsible for training overseas specialists in the art of knee surgery.
Exclusively focused on knee surgery for many years now, Mr White tailors his surgical approach to each patient’s particular presentation and goals. His patients include elite athletes keen to return to competition, seniors whose travel plans depend on a strong knee, and many other Australians seeking highly focused care for knee injuries and conditions.
