Knee Surgery

The knee is a hinge joint formed between three large bones – the femur, tibia and patella (knee-cap). A thin layer of cartilage covers the ends of the bones and allows smooth, frictionless movement within the joint. A semi-circular cartilage called the meniscus functions as a shock absorber and secondary stabiliser of the knee.

Expert Knee Physician & Orthopaedic Surgeon

A healthy knee allows smooth, frictionless movement within the joint. A semi-circular cartilage called the meniscus functions as a shock absorber and secondary stabiliser of the knee. If you suffer from conditions like arthritis, this can potentially destroy the cartilage, altering the bone surfaces in the knee; making it painful and difficult to move. Speak to Dr. Matt Barnes about the solutions available for your specific needs.

As a fellowship trained Melbourne Orthopaedic Surgeon, he specialises in the treatment of hip and knee conditions for a variety of different patients nationally. Dr. Barnes has an active role in research and holds a clinical teaching position with the University of Melbourne.
