Our services
Orthopaedic Services
The specialists at Orthopaedics WA perform hip, knee replacement, revision arthroplasty, resurfacing of the hip, unicompartmental knee replacement, sports and trauma surgery. We also focus on accelerated rehabilitation and 'bloodless surgery'.
Our surgeons are fellowship trained, and have experience working in orthopaedic centres across the World. Our philosophy is to maximise the function and early recovery and long-term outcome of patients requiring orthopaedic surgery.
We use the latest technology and techniques from around the World, but are very mindful that many older techniques are still the best.
Because we believe that it is vital that the patient is involved in both the decision-making as well as their own rehabilitation, here you will find links to information about conditions along with the treatments provided by Orthopaedics WA.
