Excellent Orthopaedic care is available in Southwest Victoria.

Alasdair Sutherland is a highly qualified orthpaedic surgeon, now based in Warrnambool. • His practice, Southwest Orthopaedics is concerned with conditions involving the musculoskeletal system. • He has been inspired by the potential of a combination of biological principles, such as an understanding of how bone heals and joints respond to injury, with practical solutions such as using a plaster or plates and screws to hold a broken bone while it heals, or replacing a worn out joint, to return patients to the best possible level of function. • He uses both surgical and nonsurgical means to treat musculoskeletal trauma, sports injuries, degenerative diseases, infections, tumours, and congenital disorders. • Sometimes the solution might be high-tech surgery, often something much more simple, but the aim is the same - the best possible functional outcome for the patient. • Alasdair has had a broad training and experience of all aspects of orthopaedic treatment, with a special interest in knee surgery.
