Total Knee Replacement
Total knee replacement (TKR) has become one of the commonest surgeries that we perform, and has been very successful in alleviating pain and dysfunction in thousands of people.

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. You may also like to view the most frequently asked questions about the conditions.

Pathway for Arthroscopic Knee Surgery
This topic provides an overview of the process from the initial appointment to post-operative treatment and what happens after you are discharged from hospital.
Unicompartmental Knee Replacement
Some patients that are at the stage when they are considering joint replacement may have arthritis that is quite localised to one area, but with the rest of the knee in good condition.
Revision Knee Replacement
Revision surgery of the knee (redo surgery) is becoming a more frequent problem as the number of patients with joint replacements continues to rise.
Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction
ACL Rupture (tear) is a common injury. It usually occurs in running ball sports – soccer, football, rugby, netball, and basketball, as well as skiing.

Your surgeon has made the diagnosis of knee osteoarthritis (OA). This is wear and tear of the cartilage in your knee joint.
Lower Limb Osteotomy
Osteoarthritis (wear and tear arthritis) most commonly affects the inner side of the knee joint.
