Background

About Ian MacQueen

In 1990 I opened Macqueen Veterinary Centre with my wife, Jacky. I was one of the first surgeons to use arthroscopy on a routine clinical basis for investigation of joint disease. In 1995 I trained with Marv Olmstead to learn Total Hip Replacement (THR) surgery. I’ve followed the evolution from cemented systems to biologic fixation implants and miniaturisation, so it’s now routine to consider THR in cats and small dogs. I also perform Elbow Replacement, having successfully used both the Iowa and TATE systems. I am fascinated by orthopaedic principles, techniques and implants and I look forward to new ideas that may help resolve the more intractable problems we face.
