Services
Total Knee Replacement
This procedure replaces damaged knee joint surfaces with artificial components to relieve arthritis pain. Ideal for patients with severe osteoarthritis unresponsive to conservative treatments. Our results show 91% of patients regain unaided mobility within three months, with implants lasting over six years in 97% of cases. The surgery involves precise bone reshaping and implant placement using advanced techniques.
Hip Resurfacing
A bone-conserving alternative to total hip replacement, particularly suited for younger active patients. This procedure caps the femoral head with a metal prosthesis while replacing the hip socket. Patients typically achieve pain-free mobility within three months, with 90% returning to sports activities within a year. The technique preserves more natural anatomy compared to traditional hip replacements.
ACL Reconstruction
This surgical procedure replaces torn anterior cruciate ligaments using hamstring or quadriceps tendons. Recommended for active individuals seeking knee stability, it involves creating bone tunnels for graft placement. With proper rehabilitation, patients can resume light jogging at three months and return to sports at six months. Our approach minimises graft failure risks through precise placement techniques.
Partial Knee Replacement
Targeted treatment for localized knee arthritis affecting either the medial or lateral compartment. This less invasive procedure preserves healthy tissue and ligaments, offering faster recovery than total replacements. Clinical data shows 96% of patients regain unaided walking ability within three months, with 90% experiencing significant pain reduction after one year.
Robotic-Assisted Surgery
Our HAiLO system uses dual-laser technology for sub-millimetre bone precision in joint replacements. This innovation enables complex bone-sparing designs that enhance implant stability and osseointegration. The technology allows for customised surgical plans that improve implant longevity while minimising tissue trauma during procedures.

Questions
What joint replacement technologies do you use?
We utilise HAiLO robotic-assisted laser technology for precise bone shaping and AIRO-x bone-sparing implants, enhancing implant longevity and surgical accuracy.
How long is the recovery after knee replacement?
Most patients walk unaided within 3 months, with full recovery taking 12-18 months. Early physiotherapy and weight management significantly improve recovery outcomes.
Do you treat sports-related injuries?
Yes, we specialise in ACL reconstruction and arthroscopic procedures for sports injuries, with tailored rehabilitation programs for athletes at all levels.
What makes your hip resurfacing different?
Our minimally invasive approach preserves more natural bone structure, making it ideal for younger patients while maintaining long-term joint function.
How are surgical risks managed?
We employ strict protocols for infection prevention, blood clot management, and anaesthetic safety, with dedicated clinical nurses monitoring patient care throughout their journey.
What pre-surgery preparations are needed?
We recommend achieving a healthy weight, strengthening relevant muscles, and attending pre-operative education sessions to optimise surgical outcomes.

Dan is simply the best! I have had very successful hip and knee replacements over the last 5 months, using the least invasive and most advanced methods. Dan is unfailingly caring and compassionate as is his entire team. He treats the whole person, recognising that a successful recovery is as much about confidence and optimism as it is about the procedure. I had three health complications that could have impeded my recovery, but instead of sending me back to my GP Dan referred me to excellent specialists. Follow-up lasts for 3 months, so I have always felt supported. Simply the best!

I just had a hip arthroscopy procedure by Dr Daniel Fick at The Joint Studio and couldn't be happier with my whole experience with them. The whole team that was involved in my care were so kind and caring. They made me feel super comfortable.
Dr Fick even came to see me after surgery to explain how it all went (I have never had this before in the public sector). He is an extremely kind and compassion man, has to be my favourite medical professional I have ever seen (and I have seen A LOT). I highly recommend The Joint Studio. Everyone I have dealt with there, including reception staff have been

I had been putting off Double knee replacements for a number of years. Dan's experience and advice prior, during and after made me think "why did it hold off for so long". The daily text messages were so spot on with their advice and tips, it felt like the Joint Studio team were in my space helping me personally. It is a rollercoaster, Dan doesn't sugar coat what he is going to do and it will be a struggle but follow their advice, do the exercises and you will come out the other end better, stronger and able to walk.

I would like to just write about my excellent experience with Dr Riaz Khan who performed a menisectomy on me 6 weeks ago
To say i was very hesitant is an understatement as my research via Dr Google assured me it would be a waste of time due to my age being 50(i will not be consulting Dr Google again)
After viewing all my scans Dr Khan assured me it would be fine 2 visits later and numerous emails and phone calls back and forth i went ahead with the procedure. It has all gone extremely well and the recovery has gone exactly how Dr Khan said it would. His patience and caring attitude prior during

As a former professional athlete and Olympian, I have consulted with many orthopedic surgeons over the years about my knee injuries until I came across Dr. Fick. He provided me with an unprecedented option which I never knew existed. Dr. Fick explained what a knee resurfacing was and why I would be a great candidate for such a procedure. With a knee model in hand and my knee scan on the computer monitor, Dr. Fick demonstrated how my procedure would take place and what the likely result will yield (many more years of pain free knees, being able to play basketball again with my boys and friends

Dan Fick completed bilateral partial knee replacements for me over a year ago now. Ive never met a man able to instill more confidence in a patient. Ive gone from being a able to walk no more then a few hundred metres to no restrictions and running around with the kids.
Hes a miracle worker. Could not recommend highly enough.
