William Macaulay

About

William Macaulay is a leading orthopedic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing total hip arthroplasty (THA) and improving patient outcomes through evidence-based surgical practices. His major contributions lie in evaluating the efficacy and safety of implant technologies, particularly dual-mobility constructs, and in refining perioperative protocols to reduce complications. In his highly cited 2023 study, Macaulay demonstrated that selective use of dual-mobility bearings did not significantly lower 90-day readmissions or reoperations after THA—a finding that challenges routine adoption of this costly technology and encourages more judicious clinical decision-making. With over 6 citations already, this work has quickly influenced debate in joint replacement circles. Beyond this, Macaulay has published extensively on infection prevention, implant survival, and patient-reported outcomes, contributing to guidelines that shape modern arthroplasty practice. His research is distinguished by rigorous methodology and a focus on real-world effectiveness, making him a trusted voice in orthopedics. For students and clinicians, Macaulay’s work exemplifies how careful, data-driven inquiry can optimize surgical care and resource utilization.
