He worked in Norwich at the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital (N&N), which he joined in 1939 as a consultant orthopaedic surgeon, going on to pioneer primary hip replacements in the 1950s. According to Hugh Phillips, the President of the Royal College of Surgeons of England 2004–2005, "Ken McKee started experimenting with model hip joints in 1938, working with dentists and an engineering firm in Norwich to create the original brass mock-ups. He carried out his first primary hip replacement on a patient in 1951, before Sir John Charnley perfected his own version."He retired to Tacolneston in the 1970s. Commemorations In 1972 in recognition of his services to orthopaedic surgery he was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire and three years later received an Honorary Doctorate of Science of Cambridge University.
