About Dr David Wysocki
Dr David Wysocki is a highly regarded orthopaedic surgeon based in Perth, specialising in adult lower limb orthopaedics and trauma. With a particular focus on primary and revision hip and knee arthroplasty, Dr Wysocki provides advanced surgical solutions tailored to each patient’s unique needs.
A graduate of the University of Western Australia, Dr Wysocki completed his specialist orthopaedic training in Perth, earning his Fellowship from the Royal Australian College of Surgeons in 2014. He further refined his expertise through the prestigious Perth Bone and Tissue Bank Fellowship before advancing his skills internationally. In Vancouver, Canada, he completed the Adult Hip and Knee Reconstruction Fellowship at the University of British Columbia, working under the mentorship of world-renowned experts.
HIP REPLACEMENT SURGERY
Dr Wysocki is skilled in hip replacement surgery, particularly with the Anterior Approach Total Hip Replacement. This technique is minimally invasive, potentially reducing recovery times and minimising post-operative discomfort. He uses the Hanna Table to improve access to the hip joint and to assist in the precise placement of the implant, which can contribute to fewer muscle disruptions and a potentially quicker recovery.
To enhance the accuracy of hip replacement surgeries, Dr Wysocki also incorporates advanced planning and imaging technologies, including the My Hip Planner, CT scans, and EOS imaging. These tools allow for detailed pre-operative planning that is tailored to each patient’s anatomy, which can optimise implant positioning and joint function.
During surgery, Dr Wysocki utilises patient-matched cutting guides to help ensure the implants are placed with precision. He is experienced with AMIS Stems, X-acta short and long stems, and M-Pact Cups, which are chosen for their durability and compatibility with various patient anatomies. For patients requiring ceramic-on-ceramic articulation, this option is available and is valued for its low wear rate and long-term benefits.
KNEE REPLACEMENT SURGERY
Dr David Wysocki employs the latest advancements in knee replacement surgery, including Mako robotic-assisted technology, which is designed to enhance precision during the procedure. This technology helps to customise the surgical plan based on the patient’s unique anatomy, with the goal of improving accuracy and potentially supporting faster recovery times.
In addition to robotic assistance, Dr Wysocki utilises functional alignment techniques in his knee replacement surgeries. This approach aims to align the knee in a way that is most natural for the patient’s body, which may lead to more natural movement post-surgery and enhanced long-term function. Dr Wysocki frequently works with the Triathlon Implant, known for its flexibility and design that supports natural knee movement.
REVISION KNEE SURGERY
Revision knee surgery can be a complex procedure, often required when a previous knee replacement has failed, or complications have arisen. Dr David Wysocki has extensive experience in revision knee surgery, specialising in the use of the Attune revision system, which is designed to provide stability and longevity for patients requiring a second knee replacement. Dr Wysocki’s experience in this area supports his ability to manage complicated revision cases with the aim of delivering the best possible care.
Dr Wysocki’s approach to hip and knee replacement surgery is centred on providing high-quality care using the latest technologies and advanced surgical techniques and he is committed to supporting his patients in achieving their desired outcomes.
