Dr Cameron Cooke has quite simply always wanted to be an orthopaedic surgeon. He enjoys treating a range of patients with a range of conditions and thoroughly enjoys making a difference in people’s lives. Raised in Brisbane, he completed both his medical degree (1992) and advanced surgical training in Orthopaedic Surgery in Queensland (2001). Cameron went onto further advanced sub-specialty training in joint replacement and orthopaedic trauma in Sydney, Vancouver in Canada and Sheffield in the UK.
Since establishing his private practice in 2005, Dr Cameron Cooke has continued to focus on the management of all hip and knee conditions and sports injuries, undertaking further training in the anterior approach to hip replacement, as well as management of orthopaedic trauma of the lower limb and the provision of objective medicolegal reporting. He enjoys continuing to learn and develop his skills and sharing his knowledge and expertise by both attending and presenting at numerous Australian and International orthopaedic conferences.
Along with his private practice he is the Director of Orthopaedics at the Princess Alexandra Hospital. In his role, he has established a hip fracture service and maintains his interest in high energy trauma and complex hip and knee replacement surgeries.
