Dr Lucas Annabell

I am a subspecialty trained paediatric and adult orthopaedic surgeon. My interest areas include adolescent and young adult hip conditions, including dysplasia, Perthes, slipped capital femoral epiphyses and femoroacetabular impingement. I have trained specifically to perform periacetabular osteotomies, femoral osteotomies, surgical hip dislocations and other complex hip operations. I have also trained in numerous limb reconstruction operations, including dealing with benign and malignant tumours, limb salvage, rotationplasty, limb lengthening, guided growth, rotational abnormalities, limb deficiencies and bone dysplasias.

I completed fellowships at the Royal Children’s Hospital, Boston’s Children’s Hospital, and the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, specialising in hip preservation, paediatric oncology, limb reconstruction, paediatric trauma and general paediatric orthopaedics.

I am a registered University of Melbourne examiner and have taught medical students from the University of Melbourne, Monash University, Deakin University, and Harvard University, as well as registrars in both Australia and the USA.
