Dr Adam Woodbridge is a fellowship-trained orthopaedic surgeon with particular interests in hip and knee surgery, including joint replacement and arthroscopic knee procedures.
He consults and treats patients across Sydney, Taree and Forster, providing assessment and management for a wide range of orthopaedic conditions affecting the hip and knee.
Training and Medical Background
Dr Woodbridge graduated from Medicine at the University of Sydney in 2004. He completed his internship and residency at Royal North Shore Hospital, gaining broad clinical experience across multiple medical specialties.
He later completed advanced orthopaedic training in Sydney and, in 2015, was awarded Fellowship of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (FRACS) in Orthopaedic Surgery.
Fellowship training represents the highest level of surgical training in Australia and involves many years of specialised education and supervised clinical practice.
Fellowship Training in Hip and Knee Surgery
Following completion of his orthopaedic training in Australia, Dr Woodbridge undertook additional fellowship training in the United Kingdom.
He completed a hip arthroplasty fellowship in Exeter, which is internationally recognised as the design centre for the Exeter Hip prosthesis, one of the most widely used hip replacement systems worldwide.
Dr Woodbridge also undertook a knee surgery fellowship with the Exeter Knee Reconstruction Unit, where he gained experience in:
- Complex primary hip and knee joint replacement
- Revision hip and knee arthroplasty
- Arthroscopic knee surgery
- Management of complex joint conditions
These fellowships provided advanced experience in both joint replacement surgery and minimally invasive knee procedures.
A Unique Background in Physiotherapy
In addition to his medical training, Dr Woodbridge is also a qualified physiotherapist.
This background provides valuable insight into musculoskeletal function, rehabilitation and recovery, which can be an important component of orthopaedic treatment and post-surgical care.
Understanding both surgical and rehabilitation aspects of treatment allows for a comprehensive approach to managing orthopaedic conditions.
