Dr Luke Mooney is an orthopaedic surgeon in Adelaide with a special interest in sports injuries of the knee and shoulder. He treats ligament, tendon and instability problems in active people — including ACL reconstruction, arthroscopic meniscal repair, patellofemoral (kneecap) stabilisation, proximal hamstring tendon repair, rotator cuff repair and shoulder stabilisation.

Care is tailored to your sport, your goals and the demands you place on the joint, combining arthroscopic (keyhole) surgery with structured rehabilitation to rebuild strength, stability and confidence. Dr Mooney 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 you have a recent injury or a long-standing problem that keeps recurring, a current GP referral allows you to claim a Medicare rebate. To arrange a consultation, please get in touch.
