At the Specialist Orthopaedic Surgery Clinic, we are committed to providing world-class orthopaedic care in Melbourne, with a focus on arthroscopic key hole surgery, joint replacement using minimally invasive soft tissue sparing techniques, and advanced musculoskeletal treatments.
Our Philosophy
We believe in individualised treatment—from non-operative management with physiotherapy through to advanced joint replacement surgery. Our aim is to help patients regain mobility, reduce pain, and improve their quality of life. Every treatment plan is designed around your goals, whether that means returning to sport, work, or simply moving without discomfort.
The Team
Working alongside Professor Tran is a dedicated team of physiotherapists, anaesthetists, nurses, and allied health professionals. Our physiotherapists bring extensive experience in both elite sports rehabilitation and post-surgical recovery, ensuring seamless care before and after surgery.
Our Commitment
We are proud to offer:
Patient-centred care with clear communication and support at every stage
Short-stay programs for eligible patients
Integration of digital health tools, including our patient portal, for streamlined care and follow-up
Our goal is simple: to deliver the highest standard of orthopaedic care, from consultation to recovery.
