Orthopaedic Surgeon

Mr Sina Babazadeh is an Orthopaedic Surgeon who specialises in wrist, knee and hip surgery.  He completed his surgical training in Victoria in 2018 and subsequently pursued a fellowship in Barcelona, Spain.

Sina’s interest in wrist surgery was solidified after a fellowship with world-renowned wrist surgeon, Professor Marc Garcia-Elias, investigating and publishing new techniques and writing a book chapter on the subject.

Sina also has significant expertise in knee surgery, specifically the arthritic knee.  He spent 4 years completing a PhD in knee replacement surgery and has published numerous articles on the topic.  Current interests include refining knee replacement surgery, aiming for more rapid and painless recovery, and also pursuing novel management options for early arthritis.

In addition, Sina is keenly involved in the management of hip arthritis and hip replacement surgery, using the latest evidence-based techniques to improve his patient’s recovery, function and longevity.  He has had multiple research collaborations world-wide and has spent time in Belgium, Switzerland and Italy fine-tuning his operative technique.

Sina has been trained to perform standard, navigated, patient-specific and robotic joint replacement surgery, depending on the patient’s needs.  His philosophy is to provide choice for the patient and tailor their management to ensure the best possible outcome for them.
