The Sydney Orthopaedic Unit

The Sydney Orthopaedic Unit is home one of the largest dedicated orthopaedic units
in Australia. The team has been performing orthopaedic surgery for over 30 years
and is recognized internationally for its reputation. Surgical students from the USA
and Canada are often found assisting in surgery to learn the latest techniques from
our team.

The Sydney Orthopaedic Unit is home to the only surgeon in Australia to undertake
hip arthroscopies and was one of the first in the country to introduced computer
assisted total knee replacement surgery. Our shoulder specialists are the preferred
surgeons to many of Australia’s elite athletes.

The Sydney Orthopaedic Unit services cover the full range of orthopaedic specialties including:

• Hip and Knee
• Shoulder and Upper Limb
• Foot and Ankle
• Paediatrics and Adolescents
• Spine and Back
• Tumour and Bone Disease

One of the reasons for the Sydney Orthopaedic Unit’s success is the continued
introduction of state of the art technology.

The Sydney Orthopaedic Unit recently introduced computer assisted total knee
replacement surgery. Canada Bay Private Hospital is one of only a few hospitals
in Australia to be using this technology.

The new computer assisted surgery offers patients numerous benefits
such as

• Eliminating the need for a rod into the canal of the femur to assess alignment
  of implant.
• The ability to see how the joint will fit before shaving the ends of the bone.
Provides a quantitative measurement of joint flexibility during surgery.
Traditionally this has been done by hand.

Visual Mapping of Knee Joint

The System captures the patient's unique anatomy and translates it to a computer screen, providing an unobstructed view of the patient's knee joint.
