Dr Luke Mooney is a knee surgeon in Adelaide whose practice is dedicated to hip and knee surgery. He treats the full range of knee problems — from osteoarthritis and cartilage wear to ligament and meniscal injuries — offering MAKO robotic-assisted total and partial knee replacement, ACL reconstruction, knee arthroscopy and meniscal repair, and revision knee surgery.

As an Adelaide knee replacement surgeon, Dr Mooney uses CT-based 3D planning and robotic precision to position each implant accurately and preserve as much healthy bone and soft tissue as possible. He consults at Orthopaedics 360 in Eastwood, with additional metropolitan clinics in Woodville and Adelaide's north-east and regional clinics in Naracoorte and Mount Gambier, and operates at Eastwood Private Hospital and Calvary Adelaide Hospital.

Whether your knee pain comes from arthritis, a meniscal tear or an ACL rupture — and whether you are considering surgery for the first time or seeking a second opinion — a current GP referral allows you to claim a Medicare rebate. To arrange a consultation, please get in touch.

ACL Reconstruction

ACL Reconstruction

Rebuilding the torn anterior cruciate ligament with a tendon graft — restoring knee stability and return to sport.
