Mr David Gill, Orthopaedic Surgeon, Perth

David Gill, Orthopedic Surgeon

I am a fellowship trained Orthopaedic Surgeon undertaking the management of all aspects of shoulder, elbow and wrist surgery. I perform all arthroscopic rotator cuff repairs and stabilisations as well as joint replacement to ‘best practice’ standards. The spectrum of conditions I manage include tendon tears, instability, arthritis, fractures deformity and stiffness.

After completing my general Orthopaedic Training I undertook sub-specialty training fellowships at the Bernard O’Brien Institute of Microsurgery in Melbourne and then travelled to the Mayo Clinic Rochester USA where I undertook a Fellowship in Upper Extremity followed by Hand Surgery Fellowship.

I am the author of peer reviewed published articles, in medical journals and Orthopaedic Text Book chapters, (please refer to my section on Publications, Research). I have, and continue to present my Research and papers at Orthopaedic meetings such the Australian Shoulder and Elbow Society and frequently travel as Invited Faculty lecturing and demonstrating Arthroscopic Shoulder Surgery.

My Patients will receive the highest standard of expertise and care and will be treated with respect and empathy my goal is to get you back to a normal active life as quickly as possible. You are a Person not a number.

I look forward to meeting you.

Advanced Orthopedics and sports medicine has numerous Board Certified/Eligible physicians who are thoroughly educated in the latest treatment techniques both surgical and conservative. They are well versed in advances in shoulder treatments including arthroscopic rotator cuff and Bankart repairs, shoulder stabilization procedures, total shoulder replacement and reverse shoulder replacement.

Shoulder Injury

The shoulder is one of the most flexible joints and, therefore, is prone to injury. Most shoulder pain occurs when soft tissues (muscles, tendons, labrum and ligaments) are injured or over used. Years of use along with other medical conditions can cause stiffness, bursitis, frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis), or even arthritis. Bone/joint related injuries may include dislocations, joint separations and fractures.

Common conditions of the Shoulder include:

    AC (Acromoclavicular) joint separation
    Arthritis of the Shoulder
    Broken Collarbone
    Dislocated Shoulder
    Fracture of the shoulder blade (scapula)
    Frozen Shoulder
    Rotator Cuff Tears
    Rupture of biceps tendon
    Separated Shoulder
    Shoulder Impingement (Bursitis, Tendinitis)
    Shoulder bursitis
    Shoulder pain
    Shoulder tendinitis
    Shoulder Joint Tear (Glenoid Labrum Tear)
    Thoracic outlet syndrome
    The Shoulder

Shoulder Treatment

In addition to performing conservative treatment including in house Physical Therapy, and education of activity adjustment physicians at Advanced Orthopedics and Sports medicine are specialized in wide variety of surgeries from minimally invasive surgery to complex reconstructions.

Tenex Fast Procedure - Orthopedic surgeon Houston, Texas

Tenex FAST procedure

Tenex FAST procedure is a minimally invasive method to identify and remove pain generating scar tissue from tendons in the elbow, knee, ankle, foot and shoulder which can occur due to various musculoskeletal conditions such as tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, jumper’s knee, plantar fasciitis, swimmer’s shoulder and Achilles tendonitis.

The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia to numb the affected area.  The micro tip of the TX1 tissue removal system, the size of a tooth pick, is inserted into the affected area under ultrasound guidance. The tip releases ultrasonic energy which breaks and emulsifies the scar tissue which is then aspirated. It takes about 15 minutes and the tiny opening is covered with an adhesive bandage with no sutures required.

You will be able to return to normal activities in approximately a month after the procedure.  Tenex FAST  procedure is the treatment of choice for tendon pain when compared to conventional treatment which involves rest, medication, and physical therapy.   Recovery from conventional treatment can take a few years and  restrict your activities during this time. Tenex FAST is also safer when compared to open surgery through an incision.

Dr. Alain Elbaz
Orthopaedic Surgeon

Dr. Alain Elbaz relocated his practice from Montreal, Canada and has practiced orthopedic surgery in Houston, Texas since 1998. He joined Advanced Orthopedics and Sports Medicine L.L.P. in 2001. Dr. Elbaz graduated from the University of Montreal in Orthopedics in 1993. He is ABOS board certified.

Dr. Elbaz has practiced orthopedics and sports medicine with increasing emphasis on the treatment of shoulder disorders. He obtained extra training in open and arthroscopic shoulder surgery in Lyons, France with Dr. Gilles Walch. He is very conservative in his approach. He uses the most advanced, and least invasive techniques. He routinely performs arthroscopic rotator cuff repairs and arthroscopic Bankart repairs. In addition he is one of the few surgeons in Houston, Texas that has trained in Lyons, France to perform the Latarjet shoulder stabilization procedure.

Dr. Elbaz also has a keen interest in hip replacement surgery. He has performed many hip replacements but was unsatisfied with the most common techniques because they involved cutting through healthy muscle and tendon. He trained in the anterior muscle sparing hip replacement procedure with Dr. Joel Matta on two occasions in Los Angeles , California. This operation allows the surgeon access to the hip joint without cutting into any muscle and with the aid of real time x-ray he is able to place the components in the optimal position and assure optimal leg length.

He enjoys practicing at advanced orthopedics because of the emphasis that is placed on providing patients with the most current, peer-reviewed treatments in a friendly down to earth atmosphere.
