As Queensland’s largest Catholic not-for-profit healthcare provider Mater is committed to providing consistent safe, high quality, evidence-based care and improved experiences for our patients, consumers and partners.
Our statewide network of hospitals allows us to join expertise from our orthopaedic teams to provide our patients with treatment plans that are individualised and focused on musculoskeletal health, restoration of joint function, and eliminating or reducing pain.
Mater’s multidisciplinary orthopaedic teams include surgeons, nurses, rehabilitation physicians, physiotherapists and occupational therapists who work together to improve the quality of life for our patients.
Through detailed patient consultations our orthopaedic surgeons seek to diagnose and recommend appropriate individualised treatment plans.
If surgery is required, the orthopaedic surgeon will talk the patient about their treatment options and prepare them for what is likely to happen, both before and after surgery, including factors such as pain management, complications and mental health.
If appropriate, robotic surgery, may be offered as part of the surgical intervention treatment plan. Robotic surgery allows orthopaedic surgeons to perform procedures with heightened precision, flexibility and control.
