Description

What is Orthopaedics?
Orthopaedics is a specialty that deals with conditions of the musculo-skeletal system (disorders of bones and joints of the limbs and spine). The specialty covers a range of conditions including congenital (conditions which children are born with) through to degenerative (conditions relating to the wearing out of joints). The field of orthopaedics covers trauma where bones are broken or injuries are sustained to limbs.

Referral Expectations

Your GP will send us a letter explaining your condition. If you meet the criteria to be seen, we will make an appointment time and send it directly to you. You will be seen in the outpatient clinic by specialist doctors who will discuss treatment options and recommendations with you.
You need to bring with you:

  • Any letters or reports from your doctor or other hospitals.
  • All medicines you are taking including herbal and natural remedies.
  • Your ACC number, if you have one.
