An Engineering Background. A Surgical Focus.
Mr. Gibbons combines his engineering background with surgical expertise to deliver precise, long-lasting joint replacements.
Mr. Gibbons has specialist interests in total hip, total knee, and partial knee arthroplasty, particularly in the use of robotic assisted surgery for which he was certified during his fellowship in North Shore Hospital, Auckland, New Zealand. He has also trained in soft tissue knee surgery including ACL reconstruction and meniscal surgery.
Joint replacement is a quality of life procedure. You choose when the time is right.
Mr. Gibbons
Robotic-assisted surgery allows for highly accurate implant positioning tailored to each patient's unique anatomy. By combining pre-operative imaging with real-time feedback during the procedure, Mr. Gibbons achieves optimal alignment and fit. These factors directly influence the longevity and function of your joint replacement.
Enhanced recovery after surgery protocols as well as structured follow-up.
Careful pre-operative assessment, evidence-based surgical technique, and attentive post-operative monitoring work together to minimise the risk of complications. Mr. Gibbons applies his engineering mindset to anticipate and address potential issues before they arise, supporting safer outcomes and smoother recoveries.
