Individualised Approach to ACL Injuries
Helping You Return to the Activities That Matter Most
My practice is dedicated exclusively to sports surgery in Perth and Western Australia, allowing a focused approach to ACL reconstruction, knee preservation and complex ligament injuries.
Every ACL injury is different. Whether you are an elite athlete, a teenager in a talent pathway or someone who simply wants to stay active, my goal is the same: to provide an evidence-based, individualised treatment plan that restores knee stability, protects the long-term health of your knee and helps you return safely to the activities that matter most to you with the highest level of performance.
There is no single “best” ACL operation or graft for every patient. The right treatment depends on understanding the whole person, not just the MRI scan.

Why an Individualised Approach Matters
Choosing treatment for an ACL injury is rarely about finding one “best” operation. It is about identifying the approach that is most appropriate for the individual athlete in their individual circumstances.
That means considering:
- Whether surgery is the right option; or whether non-surgical management is right for you
- Which graft is most appropriate
- Whether additional procedures are needed to improve stability
- Opportunities to preserve the meniscus and protect cartilage
- Your sporting goals and expectations
- Your long-term knee health-not simply your recovery over the next few months
My role is to help you understand these options, explain the evidence behind them and work with you to develop a treatment plan that reflects your goals and circumstances.
Whether your aim is returning to elite competition, weekend sport or simply remaining active with family and friends, the focus remains the same: providing thoughtful, personalised care that gives your knee the best opportunity for a successful recovery and long-term health.
