Knee injuries are not just for athletes

A single awkward step off a kerb, a twist getting out of the car, a fall, or a knee that has never felt quite right — most knee injuries arrive through ordinary life, not the sports field. Dr Yas Edirisinghe treats the full range of knee injuries, from a common cartilage or ligament tear to the most complex multi-ligament reconstruction.

  • Preserve your own knee wherever possible

Why Ortho Precision is different

Find the cause, preserve your knee, in expert hands

01
Find the true cause
A finding on a scan is not a diagnosis. Your knee is assessed against your history and examination — not the report alone.
02
Preserve your own knee
Untreated instability or lost cartilage drives early arthritis. The goal is to repair and preserve your natural knee wherever possible.
03
The surgeon other surgeons watch
National and international fellows visit to observe Dr Yas operate. The same precision is brought to every routine injury.
The surgeon other surgeons learn from

Dr Yas teaches these techniques — and surgeons travel to watch him operate

Multi-ligament knee reconstruction is among the most complex surgery in orthopaedics, and only a small number of surgeons in Adelaide are trained to perform it. Dr Yas Edirisinghe is one of them.

He does not only perform these reconstructions — he teaches them. As Director of Training in the Northern Adelaide Local Health Network, he trains registrars in multi-ligament knee reconstruction and major fracture reconstruction around the knee. National and international fellows regularly visit to observe him operate at the Northern Adelaide Local Health Network and Ashford Hospital.

The same planning, anatomy and precision a complex reconstruction demands is applied to every knee Dr Yas treats — including a routine ACL, meniscus or kneecap injury.
