Professor Angus Wallace  

In 2010 Professor Angus Wallace nominated ClaviBrace® for a Da Vinci award which it won for Medical Breakthrough in the treatment of collarbone fractures. He had hit the headlines previously for treating a woman on a flight with a coat hanger, and became known as 'Coat hanger Wallace'. He operated on Wayne  Rooney in 2006. He went on to developed the brace position after researching injuries in 1989's Kegworth air crash.

Professor Wallace was awarded his Honorary Fellowship at the Royal College of Physicians in London on 28 September 2017 in recognition of his 30 years contribution to the Specialty of Sport & Exercise Medicine.   


Professor Wallace and Professor Moran were invited by the England FA to provide an expert medical opinion on the fitness of Wayne Rooney to play in the World Cup. 
Both consultants work at Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust, Queen's Medical Centre Campus (QMC), and both are professors appointed by the University of Nottingham. 

QMC is the biggest trauma centre in England and treats over 16,000 fractures per year. 

      Professor Wallace was invited because of his extensive knowledge of both orthopaedic surgery and sports medicine - he has been a consultant orthopaedic surgeon for 22 years working as a consultant trauma surgeon from 1984 to 1996. 

      In addition he has been actively involved in sports medicine for over 16 years and has an in-depth understanding of rehabilitation and fitness loss in relation to sportsmen.
