Local Orthopaedic Services You Can Access in Griffith
Dr Khoo sees patients regularly in Griffith, offering continuity of care for ACL and other sports injuries. His consultations and surgical procedures are performed locally at St Vincent’s Griffith, meaning you don’t have to travel to Sydney for high-quality orthopaedic care.
Common reasons patients in Griffith seek ACL surgery include:
- Knee instability after sports injuries (especially netball, rugby league, or football)
- Difficulty returning to active work or farming after an ACL tear
- Ongoing pain or “giving way” of the knee
- Limited function despite physiotherapy or conservative treatment
Local Fact: Griffith’s active sporting community and regional work demands make ACL injuries a common presentation in local general practice. Timely surgical consultation can prevent long-term joint issues.
What Is ACL Reconstruction?
ACL reconstruction is a surgical procedure to replace a torn anterior cruciate ligament—one of the key stabilising ligaments in the knee. Dr Khoo uses modern, minimally invasive techniques to reconstruct the ligament, with a focus on reducing post-operative pain and facilitating early rehabilitation.
A Typical ACL Journey Includes:
- Clinical assessment and imaging referral (MRI)
- Surgical repair under general anaesthetic at St Vincent’s Griffith
- Day surgery or overnight stay, depending on the case
- Structured physiotherapy follow-up tailored to rural patients
Supporting Recovery Locally
Dr Khoo works closely with local physiotherapists and general practitioners in Griffith to ensure a smooth recovery path. Post-surgical follow-up is conducted locally whenever possible, with telehealth options available for rural patients.
