Scott Mackie

Dr Scott Mackie is an Orthopaedic Surgeon based in Hobart, with a special interest in knee and hip replacement, and in paediatric orthopaedics.

Dr Mackie grew up in regional Victoria and studied medicine in Melbourne. After completing orthopaedic surgical training in Melbourne, he relocated permanently to Hobart at the start of 2005. In 2006 he pursued additional international training in complex paediatric orthopaedic surgery and limb reconstruction techniques, including six months at The Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, Canada. This paediatric interest has led to the provision of much of the high-level paediatric orthopaedic care within Tasmania.

He also holds a Doctorate of Medicine (MD), an advanced research qualification, for research into treatment interventions for primary and secondary cancers of bone, and has been Head of the Department of Orthopaedics at the Royal Hobart Hospital.
