Dr Walker graduated from the University of Sydney in 1995 and started his orthopaedic career at Royal North Shore Hospital as a junior registrar in 1998. After successfully completing advanced training in Orthopaedic Surgery in 2003 and being awarded a Fellowship in Orthopaedic Surgery from The Royal Australasian College of Surgeons, Dr Walker travelled to Toronto Canada. There he completed twelve months of further training in hip and knee replacement surgery and trauma at the University of Toronto, St Michael’s Hospital.

On returning to Sydney in 2005, Dr Walker joined Sydney Bone and Joint Clinic and started working at Liverpool hospital and later Fairfield hospital as well as Sydney South West Private Hospital. He continues to have a special interest in hip and knee replacement surgery as well as complex trauma. His practice covers a range of operations from primary joint replacement surgery and minor trauma to arthroscopic surgery of the knee and to revision joint replacement surgery and complex trauma reconstruction including use of computer aided limb reconstruction using the Taylor Spatial Frame.
