Dr Matthew Free

I am an Australian trained orthopaedic surgeon with international sub-specialty training in knee surgery. I treat the full spectrum of knee conditions in both paediatric and adult patients, from sports-related injuries to degenerative conditions.

I have undertaken advanced fellowship training in knee surgery at leading centres worldwide. My subspecialty interest includes ACL reconstruction, complex ligament surgery, partial and total knee replacement, and knee joint preservation procedures such as cartilage repair, meniscus repair, and realignment osteotomy. By combining advanced techniques with evidence-based care, my goal is to help patients restore movement, performance, and quality of life – whether returning to sport or managing chronic knee pain.

I am actively involved in research focused on improving outcomes in knee surgery and am committed to surgical education, contributing to the training of future orthopaedic surgeons.
