About us
Coastal Orthopaedic Surgery is a specialist hip and knee practice led by Dr Frank Connon, Sunshine Coast orthopaedic surgeon. Dr Connon is known for muscle-sparing anterior hip replacement and quadriceps-sparing (subvastus) knee replacement, and is the only Sunshine Coast–based surgeon with international fellowship training in the anterior approach to the hip. Our in-house team of GP, Nurse Practitioners and physiotherapy staff works to shared hip and knee protocols, giving patients coordinated care from first consultation through to full recovery.
