About Mr Joseph Robin

For continuity of care for Mr Joe Robin's patients, please contact either Mr Jonathan Robin or Mr Daniel Robin who would be happy to see them to continue their orthopaedic care.

Mr Robin was in Orthopaedic practice for over 35 years, and obtained his FRACS fellowship after training in Melbourne on the AOA program in 1977-80. He received his F.A. Ortho. A. Fellowship in 1986 and was a member of the AOA, the AAOS, ASOS, and the AMA. Following Orthopaedic Fellowship training he gained further experience overseas in Bristol and Cambridge UK, and Graz, Austria, before returning to take up consultant positions at the Moorabbin Hospital (1985-91) and the Austin Hospital,(1983-2023). He has held the position of Head of Orthopaedic Unit II at the Austin Hospital, a unit which has as its main interests hip and knee arthroplasty, joint reconstruction and sports injuries (especially those of the knee).

His own interests consisted mainly of hip, knee and shoulder surgery, particularly arthroscopic surgery of the knee and shoulder, sports injuries of all types, and joint replacement surgery of the hip and knee.

He also offered alternative treatment of hip arthritis for younger, more active patients (under 65 years), particularly with hip Resurfacing and the use of the Birmingham Hip Resurfacing (BHR) prosthesis in particular for this group (which he was one of the first to introduce in Victoria), with over 400 successfully treated cases.
