Mr Jacob has been practising as a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon since 2005. He has undertaken advanced fellowships in arthroscopy, arthroplasty and sports surgery in Adelaide (2006), Sydney (2008) and Melbourne (2014), further refining his expertise in minimally invasive and joint replacement techniques.
