The orthopaedic surgeons at The Wesley Hospital in Brisbane work with a multidisciplinary team including specialist doctors, nurses and allied health professionals to provide high-quality healthcare for our patients.
Wesley Hospital orthopaedic surgeons specialise in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the musculoskeletal system, including elective, trauma and robotic-assisted surgery. We have a broad range of subspecialist surgeons who provide care across the spectrum of orthopaedic disorders, with extensive experience in complex orthopaedic cases, sports injuries and sports medicine, as well as acute knee injuries.
At The Wesley Hospital, we provide you with high-quality care and support throughout the entire patient journey. This includes from when you attend the pre-admission clinic for education and assessment prior to surgery, through to post-operative early mobilisation (to restore function) and rehabilitation.
Our orthopaedic surgical services include (but are not limited to):
- Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction.
- Arthroplasty.
- Elbow and forearm surgery.
- Foot and ankle surgery.
- Hip replacements.
- Knee and shoulder arthroscopy and reconstruction.

The Wesley Hospital is an Australian leader in robotic surgery, with the Mako Robotic-Arm Assisted Surgery being used by our orthopaedic surgeons since 2018. The Mako robot allows for less invasive procedures, less trauma to soft tissue, reduced pain and blood loss and quicker recovery times. It is used to treat patients with osteoarthritis in the hip or knee, in the following procedures:
- Partial knee replacements.
- Total knee replacements.
- Total hip replacements.
Your orthopaedic surgeon will advise you on whether or not a robotic assisted surgery is the right choice for you.
The Wesley orthopaedic program encourages early mobility to restore function, which is achieved by use of an inpatient gymnasium, physiotherapy and, if required, inpatient rehabilitation. Our multidisciplinary team provide the following support services:
- Allied health assessment and support.
- Diabetes education and support.
- Infection control management, education and support.
- Nutrition education and support.
