During this time he undertook and published a landmark research thesis on implant positioning in total hip replacement and he was awarded a Doctor of Medicine (MD) for his research in 2007.
His expertise in knee surgery was gained at the World renowned FIFA centre of Surgical and Sport Rehabilitation Excellence in Lyon, France. Here he gained valuable experience in treating professional international footballers and elite professional sports men and women from a variety of sports including Rugby, Skiing, Basketball and handball. He was trained in the latest techniques in arthroscopic (“Key-hole”) surgery, including Anatomic Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) reconstruction, anterolateral ligament reconstruction and multi-ligament reconstruction of the knee, meniscal repair and osteotomy of the knee.
On returning to the UK, he was appointed as a Consultant in Musgrave Park Hospital where his elective practice is tailored to knee ligament, soft tissue knee injuries and hip and knee arthritis and the Royal Victoria Hospital where he runs a ‘Hot knee clinic’ and treats complex emergency hip and knee trauma.
He continues to have an active interest in education and is a clinical supervisor for junior doctors in their early foundation years following qualification. He has been a faculty member who teaches on regional and national courses for training Orthopaedic Surgeons.

Dennis Molloy has been a consultant orthopaedic surgeon in Musgrave Park since 2012. He obtained his medical degree from Queen’s University Belfast in 1999 and became a member of the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland in 2003 and a fellow of trauma and orthopaedics in 2010. Mr Molloy now specialises in primary and revision hip and knee surgery and has a clinical workload of over 450 primary hip and knee replacements per annum in addition to hip and knee arthroscopy. He has a specialist interest in the treatment of sports related and non-arthritic hip and groin pain.
He was appointed as a Trustee of The Belfast Arthroplasty Research Trust (BART) in 2015. BART was formed in 2001 by a group of consultant orthopaedic surgeons and lecturers from Queen’s University Belfast. The aim of the charity is to provide funding for various research projects in joint replacement for the benefit of patients in Belfast. Musgrave Park Hospital is the regional orthopaedic and rehabilitation centre for Northern Ireland. Since the charity has been established it has raised over £1.6 million for joint replacement research. The main areas of research for BART are: restoration of joint centre during hip replacement, patient satisfaction following knee replacements, blood loss, complications following joint replacement and general outcomes measurement but BART is interested in any type of research which is of potential benefit those patients who have had/will have a joint replacement.
Throughout Mr Molloy’s career he has been involved in research which has resulted in many publications in peer reviewed journals and presentations at both national and international conferences for example, the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons annual meeting and the International Society for Technology in Arthroplasty annual conference. During his career he has obtained over £100,000 to carry out a range of research studies. From 2004 to 2006 Mr Molloy spent 18 months completing an MPhil from Queen’s University Belfast on factors effecting blood loss following total knee replacement at Musgrave Park Hospital. This was a randomised controlled trial comparing the blood saving effect of a topical fibrin spray compared to systemic tranexamic acid for total knee replacement patients. This has led to significant reductions in postoperative blood loss in joint replacement surgery.
He has completed Fellowships as an undergraduate in St Joseph’s Orthopaedic Centre, Toronto, Canada and in the Primary Joint Unit Belfast with Professor David Beverland gaining experience in specialist high volume hip and knee replacement surgery.
Mr Molloy completed his postgraduate fellowship in the Mater Hospital in Sydney where he spent 12 months from July 2011 working as a fellow in hip and knee replacement & revision arthroplasty. During his time there he was awarded funding to complete a study looking at the stability of three different knee replacement systems and compare their radiological and clinical outcomes. He also completed a clinical and radiological review in Sydney along with Dr William Walter on a modular femoral implant and its mechanically assisted crevice corrosion and subsequent adverse local tissue reaction which was similar to that seen in metal on metal resurfacing which has resulted in the worldwide withdrawal of the implant.

Mr Roger Wilson has been a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon in Belfast since 2011, specialising in knee and hip surgery. His NHS practice is based at 2 Belfast hospitals. Musgrave Park Hospital, where he performs a large number of elective soft tissue knee & ligament reconstructive surgery operations, as well as numerous knee and hip replacements. The Royal Victoria Hospital where he runs a ‘Hot knee clinic’ and treats complex emergency knee trauma referred from all over Northern Ireland.
Roger’s main surgical interest is reconstructive surgery of the knee and sports injuries, with particular interest in arthroscopic “key-hole” knee surgery, multiple ligament reconstruction, Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, cartilage and meniscus repair. He has significant experience with treatment techniques for both early and advanced knee arthritis, including partial knee replacement and total knee replacement. He also performs joint replacement of the Hip.
Roger graduated in medicine from Queen’s University Belfast, and underwent his specialist orthopaedic training in Northern Ireland. In 2003, during his training, he commenced a 1-year Knee and Hip arthroplasty Fellowship with Professor David Beverland, and was awarded an MPhil from Queen’s University Belfast for his thesis on Total knee replacement.
In 2010, following his orthopaedic training, Roger undertook a fellowship honing his skills in knee surgery at the internationally renowned ‘Avon Orthopaedic Centre’ in Bristol. He gained valuable experience in knee sports injuries and joint replacement surgery. He gained expertise in the latest techniques in arthroscopic surgery, including anatomic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction and became proficient in the use of ‘patient matched technology’ for knee replacement. He has also spent time at the Brisbane Orthopaedic & Sports Medicine Centre, and the Australian Institute of Musculoskeletal Surgery in Australia.
Roger continues to have an active interest in research & education. He has published and presented extensively both nationally and internationally. He regularly teaches on a wide range of knee topics in the UK and Ireland. He is an educational supervisor for orthopaedic trainees in Northern Ireland, and is involved with the teaching and examining of medical students from Queen’s University Belfast. At present he is a member of a multi-disciplinary sports group, the RISUS group, which is working with the IRFU and Ulster Rugby to reduce the risk of injury in Schoolboy Rugby. He is a member of the Ulster Rugby Medical committee providing on pitch medical care to Ulster players at the Kingspan stadium.
Roger successfully combined his medical training with a first class rugby career, playing for Ulster 20 times in the 90’s, Ireland 7’s (Hong Kong -1995), 5 Ireland ‘A’ caps, and a member of the Ireland squad that toured Australia in 1994. His sporting background gives him an invaluable insight into the pressures faced by top-class sportsmen and women when they suffer injury. His empathy combined with the latest techniques in orthopaedic surgery for the knee has already helped treat National and International athletes from a variety of sports.
