Melbourne Hip and Knee is a group of Orthopaedic Surgeons who specialise in the management of Hip and Knee problems. Created especially for GPs and distributed regularly, our newsletter aims to bring you useful information to assist you in the management of your hip and knee patients. Please contact us if you would like any further information on any of the subjects covered.

ROBOTIC ASSISTED JOINT REPLACEMENT

Joint replacement operations have an excellent success rate, helping patients who were previously crippled by painful and stiff arthritic joints walk again. During the operation the surgeon cuts and prepares the bone, then places the new prosthesis as accurately as possible in position using a series of jigs, saws and other instruments. Our aim is always to be as accurate as possible, but most studies show some variability in how well we achieve this.

MELBOURNE HIP AND KNEE NOW OFFERS AFTER HOURS APPOINTMENTS

At Melbourne Hip and Knee we understand that despite the pain and problems that patient’s have with their joints, they still have work and other commitments during the day. To help your patients receive expert orthopaedic advice we now have a limited number of early morning and evening appointments available each week for new patients. Please contact our staff to organise an after hours appointment.
