A graduate of the University of Western Australia, Dr Holt completed his orthopaedic training in 1986. This was followed by a fellowship in Sports Medicine in Sydney (North Sydney Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Centre), where he worked with Dr Mervyn Cross OAM and Associate Professor Leo Pinczewski, the former being a pioneer of sports surgery and ACL reconstruction, the latter now being the most experienced ACL surgeon in the world today.
Following this was time spent in Britain and then in Edinburgh, where a fellowship in arthritis surgery was undertaken. This included replacement surgery for both upper and lower limb joints, and surgery for rheumatoid arthritis. After this, and before returning home to commence practice, Dr Holt spent 6 months in the USA visiting many of the then world leaders in knee and shoulder surgery. It was here that he witnessed first hand the new fields of arthroscopic surgery of the knee and shoulder, which were just being developed. This advancement in Orthopaedic Surgery was in its first years but it was this inspiration that led him to bring back and develop that sort of surgery in Western Australia. In June 1988, Dr Holt returned to Perth and founded the Perth Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Centre. Dr Holt is recognised for introducing arthroscopically aided reconstructive surgery to Western Australia, including ACL reconstruction, PCL reconstruction, sub-acromial decompression, rotator cuff repair and shoulder stabilisation. To this day, this sort of surgery, particularly sports related surgery, occupies a good deal of his time. As well as primary reconstructive surgery however, his experience lends itself to revision surgery for failed ligament reconstruction, and this represents a good number of the ACL reconstructions that he how performs.
In the last 15 years, Dr Holt has also been specialising in replacement surgery of the knee and shoulder: and replacement surgery now constitutes a large volume of his practice. Again, this is both primary replacement surgery and revision surgery of these joints.
