Some things are worth celebrating!

Congratulations to Dr Robert Fassina who undertook his 2000th Mako procedure yesterday at St Andrew’s Hospital.

A big thank you to the team at St Andrew‘s hospital, without who this achievement would not have been possible.

Also, we would like wish Irene a speedy recovery following her knee replacement.

It has been a very difficult time for a lot of patients who have had their elective surgery cancelled over the last four weeks. The uncertainty associated with this has been extremely stressful for you all.

We are pleased that these bans, enforced by the Marshall Government and The Police Commisioner, have now been eased.

As of February 7th, 2022, ONLY day surgeries can recommence. This will be followed by a step wise increase in elective surgery, including joint replacement surgery, in both the public and private sector over the ensuing weeks.

We at Adeladie Hip and Knee Centre are here to help you. It is going to be extremely chaotic for our staff over the next few days as we are re-organising surgical dates for you. PLEASE be patient with our staff as they are currently handling an unprecedentant number of phone calls. If you can't get through, please leave a message on our answering service or contact us via Facebook, and we will return your call within 48 hours.

Thank you for understaning.

BREAKING: We have outlined a gradual return of elective surgery, allowing South Australians to schedule their important procedures - some as early as next Monday.

I really want to thank those who have had their surgeries postponed during this challenging time.

But by working together we have managed the Omicron wave better than many other states, and are now seeing a steady decline in new cases.

By the end of this month we plan to resume all public and private hospital elective surgery procedures.

Screening and Mask requirements will continue unchanged. Thanks for your understanding.
