Born in Inverness, Arbuthnot Lane began studies at Guy’s Hospital at the age 16 in 1867. In 1883 he became a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons. He worked at Great Ormond Street, before returning to Guy's in 1888 as Anatomy Demonstrator and Assistant Surgeon. He spent most of his career at Guy’s. He served in the Royal Army Medical Corp in the First World War, serving as Consulting Surgeon in Aldershot at the Cambridge Military Hospital. He was instrumental in the opening of Queen Mary's Hospital in Sidcup, a pioneering institution in plastic surgery. Lane was appointed Companion of The Most Honourable Order of the Bath. Lane is known particularly for three surgical procedures: repair of the cleft palate, the application of internal splints to fractures using the 'Lane technique' and for developing Colectomy.
