Why choose Doctor Young?
Dr Young is a recognised expert in Computer Assisted Knee Replacement.
His techniques allow a measured accuracy of the placement of the knee prosthesis to within 0.5mm and 0.5 degrees. He is familiar with numerous types of knee replacements and will advise you on the best knee for your requirements.
Dr Young has studied the current range of Robots and Robotic devices on the market and in common use, and presented on this topic at international conferences.
He has found that, at this current stage, they remain too clumsy to deliver on their purported advantages. However, he has been part of a consultative team developing the next generation of smart tools and robots, and looks forward to their introduction.
Doctor Young and his team recognise the key to consistently excellent results is mutual support and a collaborative approach.
Together with his secretarial staff Sue and Julie, and in-hospital nursing staff from both wards and operating theatres, your treatment will be overseen by attentive people committed to providing you the best possible care with a minimum of fuss.
Doctor Young completed his orthopaedic fellowship in 1994, training further in Sport Injury and Hip and Knee reconstruction and replacement in Edinburgh, Boston Harvard and New York.
He continues to hone his techniques, reviewing new devices and approaches as they emerge. With an inquisitive mind and dextrous hands, his figures for Hip and Knee replacement are among the best in Australia.*
