Dr Paul Rebgetz is a specialist orthopaedic surgeon treating hip, knee, foot and ankle conditions, including arthritis, sports injuries and orthopaedic trauma. He has completed fellowship training in Australia and the United Kingdom, with a surgical practice spanning anterior approach hip replacement, robotic-assisted hip and knee replacement, revision hip and knee replacement, knee arthroscopy and reconstructive foot and ankle surgery.
His approach begins with a thorough assessment and a clear explanation of your diagnosis, followed by advice on the surgical and non-surgical treatment options appropriate for you.
Further training at Gold Coast University Hospital included sports knee surgery, joint replacement, robotic-assisted techniques and complex trauma. At The Prince Charles Hospital in Brisbane, his training focused on hip and knee replacement, including robotic-assisted and revision procedures. Dr Rebgetz subsequently undertook training in lower limb reconstruction, foot and ankle surgery and trauma at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh.
Before studying medicine, Dr Rebgetz qualified as a physiotherapist. This background informs his understanding of movement, functional limitations and rehabilitation, alongside his surgical assessment and treatment planning.
Dr Rebgetz takes time to understand your symptoms, daily challenges and goals, explaining your options so you can make informed decisions about your treatment.
Robotic-assisted technology supports surgical planning and implant positioning during hip and knee replacement. Dr Rebgetz will discuss whether this approach is suitable for your procedure.
Recommendations consider the nature of your condition, its effect on daily function, your overall health and activity requirements. Options may include non-surgical management or surgery, depending on the clinical findings.
Patients may be referred for persistent joint symptoms, an injury or concerns about a previous operation. An assessment can help clarify the cause and determine whether further treatment is appropriate.
Persistent pain, instability or restricted movement after an injury may affect your confidence and activity. A clinical examination and relevant imaging help assess the structures involved and guide management.
Explore treatment options for hip, knee, foot and ankle conditions, from sports injuries and fractures to arthritis and joint replacement, tailored to your needs and goals.
