About Us

Background

I was born and trained in Melbourne with further orthopaedic upper limb subspecialisation interstate and overseas. I perform reconstructive, joint replacement, endoscopic and arthroscopic surgery of the upper limb and keyhole surgery for sports injuries and rotator cuff disease as well as shoulder, elbow and hand arthroplasty (or artificial joint replacement surgery), keyhole carpal tunnel surgery, and trigger finger surgery.

Research Focus

My research interest focus is upper limb and hand surgery.

We help to run several registries tracking patients' surgery and results including an upper limb and a Barwon joint replacement registry.
