Dr Robinson was recently invited as a guest speaker to deliver a workshop for the Noosa Hospital theatre team. The session focused on the indications for anatomic and reverse shoulder replacement, alongside a detailed review of shoulder anatomy.

Practical insights were also shared on instrumentation and how theatre staff can effectively assist in the implantation of shoulder replacements.

We value opportunities like this to work closely with our hospital colleagues and contribute to ongoing education—helping ensure patients receive the highest standard of care at every stage of their surgical journey.

A rotator cuff tear is a common cause of shoulder pain, weakness and reduced movement. It can occur through injury, overuse, or gradual wear and tear, and symptoms often worsen if left untreated.

He has completed additional training in shoulder injuries at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, giving him advanced expertise in managing complex shoulder conditions.

If shoulder pain is limiting your daily activities, a specialist assessment can make all the difference.

This week, Dr Robinson performed Noosa Hospital’s first Motec total wrist replacement — a significant milestone for advanced orthopaedic care in our region.
The Motec wrist replacement was developed in Europe (Sweden) and has since evolved into a well-established, motion-preserving solution for advanced wrist arthritis. Over time, it has been increasingly adopted in major metropolitan centres across Australia as an alternative to wrist fusion for suitable patients.
🌏 What this means for patients:
People in our region no longer need to travel to capital cities to access world-class wrist joint replacement surgery. State-of-the-art care is now available locally in Noosa.
If you’d like to learn more about Motec wrist replacement or discuss treatment options for wrist arthritis and complex wrist conditions, please get in touch — expert care is now closer to home.
