Orthopaedic surgery in East Melbourne

Orthopaedic surgery

Most hip, knee and shoulder problems settle with physiotherapy and exercise. When they do not, Professor Phong Tran sees you at the clinic to talk through whether an operation is likely to help.

Before and after surgery

Getting stronger before an operation and following a guided program afterwards both help recovery. The physiotherapists work in the same rooms as Professor Tran, so your care stays in one place.
