The hip is the largest weight-bearing joint in the human body and plays a vital role in keeping us upright, stable, and mobile. Known as a ball-and-socket joint, it’s formed by the connection between the femur (thigh bone) and the pelvis, allowing for a wide range of motion while withstanding significant force during activities like walking, running, and standing.

Thanks to its deep structure and strong surrounding network of muscles, ligaments, and tendons, the hip joint is incredibly stable and durable. However, that doesn’t mean it’s immune to problems. Over time, the hip is particularly susceptible to wear and tear, especially from osteoarthritis, injury, or degenerative conditions,which can lead to stiffness, pain, and reduced mobility.

Understanding the anatomy and function of the hip is key to identifying issues early and exploring treatment options that support your lifestyle and long-term mobility.

At Wakefield Orthopaedic Clinic, our experienced team of 11 surgeons specialises in diagnosing and managing hip conditions, from early intervention to complex joint replacement surgery — ensuring every patient receives expert, tailored care.

Your foot and ankle work harder than you think. Together, they form a complex structure made up of 26 bones, 33 joints, and an intricate network of muscles, ligaments, and tendons. This remarkable system doesn’t just support your weight, it provides the stability, balance, and flexibility needed for nearly every movement you make.

Whether you're walking, running, climbing stairs, or simply standing still, your foot and ankle are constantly adjusting to keep you upright and in motion.

Because they play such a key role in how you move, issues with the foot and ankle can affect your entire gait, impacting your knees, hips, and even your back. That’s why early diagnosis and targeted treatment are so important.

From sprains and tendon injuries to arthritis and chronic pain, the team at Wakefield Orthopaedic Clinic offers expert care tailored to your needs. Our specialists are here to help with accurate diagnosis, evidence-based treatment, and support every step of the way.

Wakefield Orthopaedic Clinic patients are helping improve the lives of others across Australia through tissue donation.

During a total hip replacement, the worn-out femoral head bone (the ball-shaped bone that fits into the hip socket) is removed. While this bone is often discarded, it can be an invaluable resource, used as a bone graft in complex revision surgeries or fracture treatments to stimulate healing where there are large bone defects.

For several years, Dr Andrew Comley has been offering his hip replacement patients at the Memorial Hospital the option to donate their femoral heads to PlusLife, a not-for-profit tissue bank that supplies high-quality, Australian-donated tissue. However, demand for allografts continues to far exceed available supply, making every donation especially important.

This initiative has now expanded to the Calvary Adelaide Hospital, where hundreds of hip replacements are performed annually. Recently, Dr Andrew Comley completed the hospital’s first femoral head donation as part of this program.

Wakefield Orthopaedic Clinic also has a proud history in this field. Associate Professor David Campbell served as Director of the South Australia Bone and Tissue Bank from 2000 to 2015 and, during his PhD in 1995, published a paper on bone allograft banking in South Australia. Building on this legacy, our hip surgeons continue to lead the way in advancing innovation and improving outcomes for patients in need.

The knee is one of the most complex and hardworking joints in the body, made up of bones, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, and muscles. These structures work together to support your body, absorb impact, and provide stability during everyday movements, whether you're walking, running, or simply getting up from a chair.

As the body’s primary load-bearing joint, the knee absorbs a significant amount of force with every step, jump, and change in direction. That makes it not only crucial to movement, but also particularly vulnerable to injury and wear.

A healthy, well-functioning knee is essential for maintaining mobility and participating in the activities you enjoy. When pain or injury disrupts that balance, it can significantly affect your quality of life.

Understanding the anatomy and function of your knee not only helps you recognise when something’s wrong, it also empowers you to have informed conversations with your doctor about treatment options.

At Wakefield Orthopaedic Clinic, we have 12 highly experienced orthopaedic surgeons with expertise in knee conditions, covering everything from sports injuries and arthritis to complex reconstructions. Our specialists are here to guide you with expert diagnosis, evidence-based care, and personalised treatment plans to help you return to doing what you love, with confidence.

Let’s talk elbows — the underrated workhorse of your upper limb.

You might not think about your elbow much… until it hurts. Whether you’re lifting, pushing, pulling, typing or swinging a golf club, your elbow is quietly doing its job, until overuse or injury starts to get in the way.

Anatomically, the elbow is a complex hinge joint made up of three bones: the humerus (upper arm), and the radius and ulna (forearm). Together, they allow your arm to bend, straighten, and rotate — movements we rely on hundreds of times a day.

But with frequent use comes vulnerability. The elbow is especially prone to repetitive strain injuries like tennis elbow or golfer’s elbow, which can cause ongoing discomfort and limit function. Other issues, such as arthritis, fractures, or nerve compression, can also impact the joint.

At Wakefield Orthopaedic Clinic, our team understands that even a small elbow issue can have a big impact. Our specialists provide clear diagnosis, evidence-based treatment options, and support tailored to your lifestyle, whether you're recovering from an injury or dealing with persistent strain.

If elbow pain is getting in the way of your everyday activities, we’re here to help you regain strength, mobility, and comfort.

While all of our surgeons at Wakefield Orthopaedic Clinic maintain busy private practices, many also contribute their expertise to the public health system. Dr Andrew Comley, Dr Collie Begg and Dr Arthur Turow all regularly operate at the Gawler Health Service, a small but highly efficient hospital serving communities across Gawler, the Barossa, and the northern districts.

Like many public hospitals, Gawler Hospital, which operates under the Barossa Hills Fleurieu Local Health Network (BHFLHN), has faced significant pressures this winter. The flu season has placed a strain on bed availability and elective surgery schedules across the state. Despite these challenges, the team at Gawler Hospital has gone above and beyond to ensure patients continue to receive the care they need.

Thanks to the tireless efforts of hospital administrators and nursing staff, additional short-stay beds were opened in recovery and day surgery areas, and staff took on extra shifts to ensure surgical patients could be accommodated overnight. These efforts have helped keep elective surgeries on track and waiting lists under control – a credit to the dedication and professionalism of all involved.

We commend the team at Gawler Hospital for their outstanding commitment to patient care during such a demanding time. Wakefield Orthopaedic Clinic is proud to support and work alongside a hospital so committed to delivering quality care to its community.

Earlier this month, scientific findings for the annual report of the Australian Orthopaedic Association National Joint Replacement Registry (AOANJRR) were presented to a select group of expert arthroplasty surgeons from across Australia.

Held at SAHMRI the home of the national registry and its team of statisticians and analysts - this event provides an important opportunity to review the data collected from every joint replacement procedure performed in the country.

Widely regarded as the global leader in joint replacement registries, the AOANJRR plays a critical role in improving outcomes for patients. Associate Professor Peter Lewis, Clinical Deputy Director of the AOANJRR and a valued member of our team, has contributed significantly to the collation, analysis, and communication of the report’s findings.

This year’s report introduced a new section focusing on revision surgeries, an increasingly important area for guiding surgeons in managing failed joint replacements. Wakefield Orthopaedic Clinic’s Associate Professor David Campbell played a key role in interpreting the data on revision procedures as well as contributing to the primary hip and knee analysis.

Professor Michael Sandow was also part of the expert group, offering his deep expertise in initial and revision shoulder replacement outcomes.

The insights gathered and presented not only inform the registry’s annual report but also help surgeons make evidence-based decisions tailored to each patient. Wakefield Orthopaedic Clinic is proud to be at the forefront of this work, ensuring better outcomes for Australians needing joint replacement surgery.

Your hands do more than you think, so it’s important to take care of them.

Did you know the human hand is made up of the wrist, palm, and fingers and contains 27 bones, 27 joints, 34 muscles, over 100 ligaments and tendons, plus a complex network of blood vessels and nerves?

Our hands enable us to do everyday tasks like driving, writing, cooking, and caring for others, yet we often take them for granted until something goes wrong.

When it comes to hand conditions, surgery is not usually the first option. In many cases, symptoms can be managed through conservative treatments such as splinting or bracing, anti-inflammatory medication, steroid injections, activity modification or physiotherapy.

However, if these approaches don’t provide relief or if the condition is more severe, surgical treatment may be considered.

At Wakefield Orthopaedic Clinic, our specialists work with you and other medical professionals to explore the best options for restoring hand function and reducing pain, so you can get back to doing what matters most.
