Dr. Charlie Lin

Dr. Charlie Lin is an orthopaedic surgeon renowned for his expertise in hip and knee replacement, reconstruction, and revision surgery, as well as complex trauma surgery. His dedication to cutting-edge technology and advanced surgical techniques is exemplified by his use of the state-of-the-art MAKO robotic arm system for joint replacement procedures, including partial knee replacements.

Dr. Lin began his journey in orthopaedic surgery with training in Sydney, resulting in his surgical fellowship with the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons in 2011. He further honed his skills through subspecialty fellowships, including a Hip and Knee Reconstruction and Replacement fellowship at the Rubin Institute of Advanced Orthopaedics in Baltimore, Maryland, USA, and an AO Trauma Fellowship in complex pelvic and acetabular trauma management at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, Washington, USA. He later completed a Hip/Knee and Trauma Fellowship at Royal North Shore Hospital in Sydney.

Dr. Lin was among the first orthopaedic surgeons in Sydney to gain experience in robotic-arm-assisted partial knee surgery, becoming fully accredited in MAKO robotic technology for partial knee, total hip, and total knee replacements. In 2017, he successfully performed one of the first robotic-arm-assisted total knee replacements in Sydney.

Dr. Lin's special interests encompass hip and knee reconstruction and replacement surgery, complex trauma surgery, including pelvic and acetabular reconstruction, and deformity correction procedures of the lower limb. He is highly skilled in performing Taylor Spatial Frame Computer Assisted deformity correction procedures.

In addition to his clinical practice, Dr. Lin is actively involved in professional organisations, including the Australian Orthopaedic Association, the Australian Society of Orthopaedic Surgeons, and the American Association of Orthopaedic Surgeons. He consults at the Parkwat San Clinic, where he continues to provide exceptional care to his patients.
