About Mr Innes Smith

Personal Profile

Mr Innes Smith is a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon specialising in paediatric orthopaedics and sports knee injuries.  

Mr Smith graduated from the University of Edinburgh in 2004 and completed higher surgical training in Trauma & Orthopaedic surgery in the West of Scotland. Thereafter, he undertook specialist fellowship training at two internationally-renowned centres: The Children’s Hospital at Westmead (Paediatric Orthopaedics), Sydney, Australia, and UniSports Orthopaedics (arthroscopic surgery and sports injuries), Auckland, New Zealand.

Mr Smith was appointed as a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon at the Royal Hospital for Children, Glasgow, in 2019. In addition to a general paediatric orthopaedic practice covering most childhood orthopaedic and musculoskeletal conditions, he has a subspecialist interest in paediatric and adolescent knee injuries. Since his appointment, he has established a busy arthroscopic (keyhole) surgery service and runs a dedicated paediatric and adolescent knee clinic. He now provides a tertiary referral service for ligament reconstruction, patella stabilisation, meniscal surgery and acute knee trauma in children and adolescents. He is also a member of a specialist team that assesses and treats children presenting with clubfoot deformities.

Mr Smith has a keen interest in both scientific and clinical research. Following completion of a PhD at the University of Edinburgh investigating the role of Staphylococcus aureus toxins (bacterial toxins) in the cartilage destruction associated with septic arthritis, he has maintained a research interest in musculoskeletal sepsis.

Away from work, Mr Smith enjoys spending time with his young family, cycling, golf and playing his bagpipes.
