You’re in safe hands with Queensland’s trusted Hip & Knee Orthopaedics Surgeons.

ACL; the three letters every athlete fears the most, but the journey to recovery doesn't have to be scary. Anterior cruciate ligament injuries are one of the most common knee injuries, especially among athletes who play high-impact sports like soccer, football and basketball. Common symptoms include a popping noise, feeling the knee give out, pain with swelling, poor range of motion, tenderness and discomfort. A reconstruction with one of Queensland's trusted orthopaedic surgeons can help you regain your lifestyle and get you back in the game.

Hip and knee arthritis are common degenerative joint conditions involving the gradual deterioration of joint cartilage. The most common form is osteoarthritis, characterised by pain, stiffness and reduced mobility. Another form of arthritis that affects the hips and knees is rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune disease that can cause inflammation and joint damage. Treatment options include pain management, physical therapy and, in advanced cases, joint replacement surgery (arthroplasty) to promote effective pain relief and restore joint function.

Acute trauma to the knee, such as a sports-related injury or a sudden twisting motion, can lead to meniscal tears or other meniscal damage. Meniscal tears are the most common type of meniscal condition resulting from injury or degenerative changes over time. Overuse, aging and repetitive stress can also lead to gradual meniscal degeneration, which can cause meniscal cysts and flap tears. Symptoms, including knee pain, swelling, stiffness and joint locking and catching, may be relieved with arthroscopic surgery with our advanced knee surgeons.

Hip and knee replacements involve surgically replacing damaged joint surfaces with artificial implants to relieve pain and restore function in cases of severe arthritis and joint damage. This is a common procedure, and we expect it to become even more popular as the population ages. Depending on the location and severity of your condition, our talented hip and knee surgeons will either perform a minimally invasive total joint replacement or a traditional surgical approach to the total joint replacement.

Surgical reconstruction of the Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) generally sees the torn ACL be replaced by a substitute graft made from the tendon. The goal of this procedure is to stabilise the knee, relieve pain and prevent further damage to the joint. Depending on your history and the severity of your condition, our talented knee surgeons may recommend a patellar tendon autograft, a hamstring tendon autograft, a quadriceps tendon autograft or an allograft to get you back on your feet.

Arthroscopic meniscal procedures, including repairs, are minimally invasive surgical techniques used to treat injuries or damage to the meniscus in the knee joint, a C-shaped cartilage that acts as a cushion and stabiliser in the knee. An arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that involves using a small camera and specialised instruments to promote a faster recovery time and a lower risk of complication. The goal of treatment is to alleviate pain, restore knee function, and prevent further joint damage.
