Melbourne Hip and Knee is a group of Melbourne Orthopaedic Surgeons who specialise in the surgical management of hip and knee problems. The group formed with the ideal of providing the highest level of care to our patients using the latest evidence based medicine.
All of our surgeons have trained locally in Melbourne but have also spent time overseas learning from some of the best hip and knee surgeons in the world. This experience ensures the care you receive is of an international standard.
Melbourne Hip and Knee is based in Hawthorn with easy access via public transport with ample parking onsite and nearby. Our surgeons also consult and operate at multiple locations in Melbourne.
Illinois Sportsmedicine is internationally recognized for providing cutting edge orthopaedic specialty treatment, while retaining a “small clinic” personalized environment.
Our office and professional staff strive to treat our patients as we would like to be treated: with courtesy, respect and compassion.
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)
Platelet rich plasma (PRP) is an exciting new treatment for arthritic joints. Blood is drawn from a patient and processed to concentrate the platelets and other healing factors. This concentrated PRP is injected under US guidance into the affected joint. 80% of eligible arthritis patients are successfully treated with PRP injection instead of joint replacement surgery. For additional information go to our page here.

An Informed Patient Is Our Goal
At Illinois Sportsmedicine we believe that a patient that thoroughly understands his or her problem and treatment options will make the best decisions and have the best outcomes. Medical knowledge and treatments are constantly changing so there may be options available to you now that were not even a few years ago.
Located in Lafayette, Louisiana Orthopaedic Specialists is a comprehensive musculoskeletal orthopaedic practice comprised of three fellowship trained orthopaedic surgeons. We each have an area of subspecialization so we are able to provide the most advanced and up-to-date orthopaedic care.
Our website is designed for you, our patient, to educate you on orthopaedic conditions and diseases and to help you get to know more about our specialties. It features 3D interactive patient education web movies on the anatomy as well as the surgeries for a variety of orthopaedic problems.
