Mr Matthias K Russ is an experienced Orthopaedic Surgeon specialising in primary and revision joint replacement of the hip and knee, general orthopaedic trauma, and trauma reconstruction of the pelvis and lower limb. He takes a highly personalised approach to each patient’s treatment, to provide the best possible patient experience as well as an optimal clinical outcome. 

Mr Russ works with each patient to determine their most appropriate treatment options, considering each patient’s clinical situation as well as their personal, lifestyle, work and family needs. 

From a surgical perspective, Mr Russ uses the most advanced surgical and planning techniques.

Mr Russ provides comprehensive post-operative follow up, to guide patients as they return to their normal activities and ensure that they are satisfied with their recovery.
