Expert Orthopaedic Surgeon in Frenchs Forest & Chatswood
Dr Julian Yu is a highly experienced, board-certified orthopaedic surgeon specialising in hip and knee conditions. With over 1,000 robotic hip and knee replacements performed, he leads in advanced joint replacement and arthroscopic techniques. His practice combines cutting-edge technology, including robotic-assisted surgery and 3D preoperative modelling, to deliver precise, minimally invasive care tailored to individual anatomy. A graduate of the University of Newcastle (2006), he completed subspecialty fellowships in Edinburgh, Lyon, and Sydney, becoming the youngest orthopaedic trainee graduate in his cohort. Dr Yu's expertise extends to sports knee injuries, trauma surgery, and revision procedures, supported by his role as faculty with AO Trauma and membership in international orthopaedic societies.He consults across Northern Beaches and Lower North Shore hospitals, prioritising patient education and shared decision-making. His commitment to innovation is matched by a focus on preserving muscle function and optimising recovery times. Dr Yu maintains active involvement in professional rugby, cricket, and basketball communities, applying evidence-based techniques to help athletes return to peak performance. His practice adheres to strict ethical standards, offering transparent communication and comprehensive post-operative care.

Services
Robotic Hip Replacement
Robotic-assisted hip replacement surgery utilises 3D imaging for precise preoperative planning and implant placement. This technology enables customised solutions for arthritis, fractures, and deformities while preserving surrounding tissues. Patients benefit from reduced recovery times and improved joint function through minimally invasive techniques performed by an experienced orthopaedic surgeon.
ACL Reconstruction
Advanced arthroscopic ACL reconstruction restores knee stability using grafts and modern fixation techniques. Tailored rehabilitation protocols help athletes and active individuals regain full function. The procedure addresses sports-related injuries and chronic instability through minimally invasive approaches that preserve joint health and mobility.
Knee Arthroscopy
Diagnostic and therapeutic knee arthroscopy examines joint structures using miniature cameras and instruments. This technique treats meniscal tears, cartilage damage, and patellar issues with minimal incisions. Patients experience faster healing and reduced scarring while maintaining long-term joint health through targeted interventions.
Revision Joint Replacement
Complex revision procedures address failed hip or knee implants through specialised techniques and implants. Comprehensive assessment identifies causes of loosening, wear, or instability. Customised solutions restore joint function while minimising risks through advanced surgical planning and execution by an experienced orthopaedic specialist.
Trauma Surgery
Emergency orthopaedic trauma care treats complex fractures and soft tissue injuries using internal fixation and external devices. Evidence-based protocols manage upper and lower limb trauma while preserving limb function. Multidisciplinary coordination ensures optimal outcomes for acute injuries and post-traumatic reconstruction needs.
