Services
Hip Replacement
Total hip replacement using Direct Anterior Approach minimises muscle damage for faster recovery. Custom preparation guides ensure precise implant placement. Ideal for severe arthritis or joint damage, this procedure restores mobility and reduces pain through advanced prosthetic solutions tailored to individual anatomy.
Knee Replacement
Customised total knee replacements utilise patient-specific technology for optimal alignment. Advanced prosthetics replicate natural joint movement, addressing severe osteoarthritis or trauma. The procedure combines minimally invasive techniques with biomechanical precision to improve function and longevity of the replacement joint.
Minimally Invasive Surgery
Specialised surgical approaches reduce tissue disruption, enabling quicker rehabilitation. These technically demanding procedures require expert execution to balance precision with minimal incision size. Benefits include reduced post-operative pain and faster return to daily activities compared to traditional methods.
Patient-Specific Technology
3D imaging creates individualised surgical guides manufactured in Switzerland. This technology enhances implant accuracy through pre-operative planning tailored to each patient's unique anatomy. The process ensures optimal component positioning for improved long-term outcomes and joint function.

Dr. Liew is up with the latest techniques. He is a caring,, friendly surgeon. His care goes beyond just the operating table with excellent post operation pain management and check ups. I would highly recommend him.

Report
I've had both hips replaced by Dr Chien-Wen Liew, one two years ago and the other in October 21. I am extremely happy with the results of both operations, but more importantly the whole process in the lead up to the operations and post operations was impressive from the customer service afforded by Dr Liew's PA Amelia to the Doctor himself. My wife was so greatful to receive a call approx an hour after each surgery from Dr Liew himself with good news about the surgeries thus putting her mind at ease. Before I left the hospital Dr Liew gave me his personal mobile number just in case I had any questions

Doctor Liew is amazing. I have suffered for over 15 years as I was told to put off a knee replacement until I was OLD! Prior to the operation I was told I looked in pain 24/7 and could barely walk or exercise. Post Op - DAY 1 day I walked with a frame,
DAY 2 I became best buddies with a walking stick,
DAY 14 used the stick sparingly,
DAY 21 did not need stick!
Was back driving after DAY 21 and working back in my office away from home. Now 3 months after surgery I can easily walk around 2 kms comfortably. I am looking forward to a much more normal life from here on. BEST EVER DECISION was seeing
