Areas of specialty
Robotic Assisted Joint Replacement
One of the latest advances in joint replacement surgery is using a surgeon-controlled robotic arm. It gives the best of both worlds – accurate 3D planning and accurate positioning. The robot isn’t performing the procedure but is a highly sophisticated tool to give your surgeon the best information to plan and help achieve accurate results.
Hip Replacement
Total hip replacement surgery has long been regarded as the most successful operation ever devised. Hip replacement is widely accepted to have a 90 – 95% success rate in restoring mobility and reducing pain. Modern advances in hip replacement surgery include the use of robotic assistance and minimally invasive techniques to improve recovery time.
Knee Replacement
Knee replacement surgery is becoming more and more common in Australia, with almost 50,000 knee replacements performed last year. With improved surgical techniques such as functional alignment philosophy and robotic assistance, knee replacement surgery has a high success rate for relieving pain and restoring mobility.
Bone and joint injuries
Bone and joint injuries are common and can occur from accidents, sports-related incidents, or degenerative conditions. These injuries can affect the bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, or cartilage, leading to pain, swelling, instability and restricted mobility. Fractures, or broken bones, are among the most prevalent types of bone injuries, ranging from minor cracks to severe breaks requiring surgical intervention.
Sports knee injuries
Sports knee injuries are a common occurrence in athletes across various sports and can significantly impact performance and overall well-being. These injuries often involve damage to the ligaments, tendons, cartilage, or bones in the knee joint, resulting from sudden twists, direct blows, or repetitive stress.Common knee injuries include anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears and meniscus tears.
Hip and knee arthritis management
Osteoarthritis is a common condition that can affect our quality of life. Osteoarthritis is the mechanical wearing out of the smooth joint surfaces over time. Eventually, the wear process causes symptoms such as pain, stiffness, swelling or change in shape of the joint. It is usually slowly progressive and there is a wide variability in how much osteoarthritis can interfere with your normal day to day activities. There are many options before a joint replacement procedure is recommended that may also be worth exploring with your specialist.
