Graeme P. Whyte, MD

About Me

Dr. Graeme P. Whyte is a highly trained orthopedic surgeon who specializes in sports medicine, joint preservation, and cartilage repair. He is the chief surgical consultant for the National Hockey League (NHL) Alumni Association. During his undergraduate and postgraduate training, he competed in both varsity rugby and varsity soccer, and set Canadian national records in team varsity medals won and varsity seasons played. He also won numerous championships and awards while competing. Involvement in elite athletics has given Dr. White invaluable perspective in managing sports injuries. In addition, he has served as assistant team physician for the New York Rangers of the National Hockey League, and for National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I athletics.

Dr. Whyte has developed and published on a novel technique to repair large and massive rotator cuff tears. Additionally, his expertise in shoulder surgery includes arthroscopic treatment of instability, cartilage injury, and superior labrum anterior to posterior or SLAP tears, also known as labral tears.

His clinical expertise and research interests include operative treatment of hip femoroacetabular impingement, hip labral tears, and cartilage injury, using minimally invasive hip arthroscopy. His arthroscopic surgical expertise for the hip also includes complex primary and revision procedures such as arthroscopic labral repair, arthroscopic labral transplantation, and cartilage repair.

Dr. Whyte also focuses on complex arthroscopic and open knee surgery, treating articular cartilage injuries and defects, meniscal injury, ligament injury, and bone and joint malalignment. He is experienced in autologous chondrocyte implantation, meniscal transplantation, and scaffold-associated stem cell cartilage repair.

His goal is to provide the most advanced procedures available to manage injuries of the shoulder, hip, and knee, returning patients to their pre-injury level of activity.
