Orthopaedic Surgery

Does your child have aches and pains or injuries to arms, leg or spine? Does your child walk with a limp or have an obvious deformity of the limbs or spine?

Do these conditions restrict the daily and sporting activities of your growing child?

The Department of Orthopaedic Surgery provides a comprehensive range of specialised care for musculoskeletal conditions and injuries in children. Working with a multidisciplinary team, the surgeons use the most advanced and innovative approaches and techniques to treat these conditions.
