Frequently Asked Questions
What is muscle-sparing joint replacement?
These techniques work between natural muscle planes (e.g., anterior hip, quads-sparing knee) to minimise soft-tissue trauma and support faster early recovery.
Am I eligible for short-stay (same-day/overnight) surgery?
Suitability depends on health status, home supports and procedure type. Many hip and knee patients can go home the same day or within 1–2 nights with ERAS protocols in place.
How do no-gap joint replacements work?
Through partner programs (e.g., Medibank/Bupa), eligible patients may pay $0 surgeon and anaesthetist fees. Hospital excess and non-covered items may still apply depending on your policy.
Which hospitals do you operate at?
St Vincent’s Private East Melbourne, St Vincent’s Private Werribee and Adeney Private Hospital (Kew). See locations above for details.
