ORTHOPAEDIC SURGEON HIP AND KNEE

Dr Aidan Cleary is an Australian-trained orthopaedic surgeon with a special interest in hip and knee conditions. He also performs general orthopaedic, foot and ankle, hand and trauma surgery.

Dr Cleary completed his specialist orthopaedic training in Queensland and interstate through the Australian Orthopaedic Association (AOA). His unique training covers non-robotic and robotic-assisted total hip replacement, partial knee replacement and total knee replacements as well as many other specialist orthopaedic procedures.
 
Additionally, he completed an AOA-accredited fellowship on the Central Coast / Northern Sydney with Dr John Limbers, focusing on robotic hip and knee arthroplasty. Throughout Dr Cleary's extensive training and fellowship, he gained a wealth of experience from many senior arthroplasty surgeons across Australia and partook in hundreds of robotic arthroplasty surgeries. 

Dr Cleary prides himself on his clinical practice and research contributions and commits to ongoing education and teaching. He teaches junior doctors and medical students as part of his role at the Hervey Bay Public Hospital and contributes to international orthopaedic research. 

Before entering medicine, Dr Cleary served as a mechanical engineer contributing to the design and development of cutting-edge cochlear hearing implants. His experience exposed him to advanced technologies and principles which he now applies to his orthopaedic practice.

Dr Cleary was raised on the Darling Downs, in regional Queensland and has experienced the challenges of rural health care. This experience has fostered Dr Cleary's strong desire to give back and support regional Queensland communities; he, his wife and young family are delighted to now be permanently a part of the Fraser Coast Community.
