My Practice
I was the lead for orthopaedic trauma at the UK’s busiest major trauma centre for 15 years, before moving to care for problem fractures, nonunion and deformity at The Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital.
I have just finished 2 years as president of the British Limb Reconstruction Society, and have written and lectured extensively on the use of external fixators, lengthening implants and managing nonunion.
I also deal with soft tissue trauma including knee and ankle injuries, and regularly perform procedures such as ligament reconstruction and meniscal injury arthroscopy.
Professional Biography
Mr David Goodier is a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon specialising in complex fractures and trauma. He has pioneered limb reconstruction using the Ilizarov technique and other external fixators to treat non-union fractures. {{ label }}
Mr Goodier qualified from The Royal London Hospital in 1985 and has worked there and at St Bartholomew’s Hospital as lead consultant for trauma orthopaedics for 15 years, and as Head of Department for 3 of those years.
He has pioneered Limb Reconstruction treatment using the Ilizarov frame, Taylor Spatial Frame and other external fixators, and is one of the pioneers of the use of the Precice Magnetic Lengthening Nail. He is the current President of the British Limb Reconstruction Society, and lectures throughout the UK and worldwide on these techniques for the management of non-union, deformity and bone loss.
His interest in the overall management of trauma extends to Sports Injuries through which he sees many high-level and professional athletes for knee, foot and ankle problems. He is an Honorary Senior Lecturer in Sports and Exercise Medicine at Queen Mary University of London, and regularly lectures and examines students at BSc, MSc and Specialist Registrar levels.
He performs arthroscopic surgery, cruciate reconstruction surgery and other ligament surgery on both the knee and the ankle joint, as well as other lower limb and foot surgery.

COVID-19 Specific Projects / Groups
The Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital is a purely elective hospital which had to become a ‘clean’ trauma centre overnight as the surrounding hospitals filled up. I was tasked with leading the trauma care and we became one of the UK’s busiest orthopaedic fracture hospitals in that time. I led the development of cover management protocols and consenting for surgery.
Career Highlights
I was Past President at the British Limb Reconstruction Society (BLRS), where I hosted the first international collaboration meeting between the BLRS and two international societies in Liverpool, 2019, with over 700 delegates from 60 countries.
Memberships
I am a member of the British Limb Reconstruction Society, British Orthopaedic Association and British Trauma Society.
Training Positions
I run precise nail training days at Stanmore.
Publications
I have written book chapters on deformity correction, precise nail lengthening and trauma management, and have many papers published in peer-reviewed journals.
