Exploring Key Procedures
1. Hip Replacement (Anterior & Posterior Approach)
Dr Khoo offers both anterior and posterior hip replacement techniques. The anterior approach often entails less tissue disruption and quicker recovery, while the posterior approach is widely used and trusted for its excellent long-term outcomes. He’ll guide you through personalised pre‑surgical planning—covering implant choice, rehab expectations, and steps to avoid complications.
2. Knee Replacement & ACL Reconstruction
His knee replacement procedures—total or partial—are tailored based on arthritis severity, patient age, and activity level. For younger or athletic individuals suffering ligament injuries, Dr Khoo performs ACL reconstruction using modern graft techniques focused on restoring stability and mobility.
3. Shoulder Surgery: Rotator Cuff Repair & Reverse Replacement
Dr Khoo specialises in arthroscopic rotator cuff repairs as well as reverse shoulder replacements—beneficial in cases of advanced shoulder arthritis or complex rotator cuff tears. His protocols emphasise early gentle mobilization and a structured rehab plan, helping patients regain motion while safeguarding repairs.
4. Fracture Repair & Intramedullary Nailing
Whether it’s a clavicle break, olecranon fracture, wrist injury or long bone fracture, Dr Khoo utilises modern fixation methods—plates, screws or intramedullary nails (humeral, femoral, tibial)—to ensure stable healing and early mobility.
Non‑Surgical & Pre‑Operative Care
Before recommending surgery, Dr Khoo assesses whether conservative treatments—such as physiotherapy, targeted exercises, injectable therapies or lifestyle modifications—can ease your symptoms. If these are insufficient, he then discusses surgery as a supported, structured option. This step-wise approach aligns with AHPRA guidelines, because patients deserve clarity on what’s necessary versus what’s optional.
Recovery & Rehabilitation
One of the hallmarks of Dr Khoo’s practice is his emphasis on early rehabilitation:
- Personalised rehab plans: Each recovery roadmap is tailored—whether your goal is returning to golf, work or everyday tasks.
- Multidisciplinary care: You won’t be alone—Dr Khoo works with physiotherapists, nurse coordinators, and pain specialists to support a smooth recovery.
- Technology‑enhanced monitoring: Where applicable, recovery can be supported through activity trackers, mobile rehab apps or scheduled virtual check‑ins with the surgical team.
Patient Stories & Peer‑Reviewed Results
Many patients report turning pain into mobility within weeks or months. Dr Khoo’s outcomes mirror those in robust research—from highly rated hip implants with 95%+ survivorship at 10 years, to ACL reconstructions enabling a return to sport within 9–12 months. Such statistics underscore both the technical success of the surgery and the importance of structured rehab.
