About

Dr. Véronique Godbout is a fellowship-trained orthopaedic surgeon in Montreal with a focus on sports medicine and injuries of the shoulder and knee. She completed her medical degree and orthopaedic surgery residency at the Université de Montréal, followed by a fellowship in sports surgery, with training in shoulder and knee arthroscopy, at the University of Calgary. Before medicine, she earned a bachelor's degree in physical education. She has been in practice since 2008.

Clinical Focus & Specialties

  • Shoulder Arthroscopy: Minimally invasive surgery using a small camera and instruments inserted through small incisions to assess and treat shoulder injuries.
  • Shoulder Stabilization: Surgery to repair the torn tissues that hold the shoulder joint in place, for shoulders that dislocate or feel unstable (for example, Bankart repair).
  • Rotator Cuff Repair: Surgery to reattach torn tendons of the rotator cuff, the group of muscles and tendons that help lift and rotate the arm.
  • Knee Arthroscopy: Minimally invasive surgery using a small camera to assess and treat knee injuries, such as a torn meniscus.
  • ACL Reconstruction: Surgery to replace a torn anterior cruciate ligament, a key ligament that keeps the knee stable during twisting and pivoting movements.
  • Knee Replacement: Surgery to replace the worn surfaces of the knee joint with an implant, for advanced knee arthritis.

Alongside her clinical work, Dr. Godbout has provided medical coverage at international sporting events, including the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games, the Canada Games, the FIFA Women's World Cup, and the world championships in women's gymnastics. She is involved in the training of medical students and residents at the Université de Montréal.
