Comprehensive orthopaedic care for the shoulder, elbow, wrist, and trauma — from non-operative management to complex reconstruction and joint replacement.
Dr Cosic offers the full range of modern shoulder surgical techniques — from minimally invasive keyhole surgery to complex joint replacement. His Paris fellowship training ensures techniques reflect world-best practice.
Minimally invasive diagnostic and therapeutic surgery using a small camera inserted through tiny incisions. Allows precise treatment with faster recovery and smaller scars than open surgery.
Arthroscopic repair of partial and full-thickness rotator cuff tears, restoring strength and function. Technique tailored to the size, location, and tissue quality of each tear.
Arthroscopic repair of the torn labrum following shoulder dislocation, restoring shoulder stability and enabling return to sport and active lifestyle.
A bone block procedure for recurrent shoulder dislocation with significant bone loss. Trained at the Paris Shoulder Unit; published research on its outcomes and nerve complications.
Replacement of the arthritic shoulder joint with a prosthesis, restoring pain-free movement for patients with end-stage glenohumeral arthritis.
A specialised shoulder replacement for patients with combined severe arthritis and rotator cuff failure. Published research on revision of reverse shoulder arthroplasty.
Complex revision procedures for failed shoulder replacements — including revision for aseptic loosening, instability, infection, and component failure.
Surgical procedures to restore shoulder motion by rerouting functioning tendons to replace torn or irreparable ones — particularly valuable for irreparable rotator cuff tears.
Surgical stabilisation of the acromioclavicular joint following high-grade dislocation or chronic instability, restoring shoulder anatomy and function.
Assessment and management of scapulothoracic abnormal motion including scapula dyskinesia, scapula winging, and snapping scapula syndrome.
Dr Cosic offers comprehensive management of elbow and wrist conditions — from common overuse injuries through to complex ligament reconstruction and joint replacement.
Minimally invasive keyhole surgery of the elbow and wrist for diagnosis and treatment of intra-articular pathology, loose bodies, cartilage damage, and synovitis.
Reconstruction of the lateral ulnar collateral ligament and medial collateral ligament for elbow instability.
Surgical repair of the distal biceps tendon following rupture at the elbow, restoring elbow flexion strength and forearm supination. Acute and chronic repairs performed.
A stepwise approach including physiotherapy, injections, and surgical release. Both open and arthroscopic techniques available.
Arthroscopic debridement and elbow contracture release for elbow arthritis, restoring range of motion and reducing pain.
Arthroscopic or open release of stiff elbows following trauma, prolonged immobilisation, or arthritis — significantly improving range of motion and function.
Surgical management of cubital tunnel syndrome and ulnar nerve entrapment, including in-situ decompression and ulnar nerve transposition.
Surgical decompression of the carpal tunnel for median nerve compression at the wrist, providing lasting relief from pain, numbness, and hand weakness.
Ligament repair and reconstruction for instability of the wrist joints, including scapholunate and lunotriquetral ligament injuries.
Surgical options for end-stage wrist arthritis including joint replacement and partial or total wrist fusion, tailored to the individual's activity level and goals.
Dr Cosic manages a wide range of acute fractures and traumatic injuries across both the upper and lower limb, drawing on extensive training at Victoria's busiest trauma centres.
Surgical and non-surgical management of proximal humerus fractures, clavicle fractures, and scapula fractures. Dr Cosic's PhD research focuses on optimising outcomes for proximal humerus fractures.
Management of radial head fractures, distal humerus fractures, and olecranon fractures — including fixation and joint replacement.
Surgical and non-surgical management of distal radius fractures, forearm fractures, and carpal bone fractures, restoring normal wrist anatomy and function.
Management of AC joint separations — from conservative treatment for lower grade injuries to surgical reconstruction for high-grade separations.
Acute and chronic management of upper extremity joint dislocations — shoulder, elbow, and wrist — with reconstruction of associated ligamentous injuries where required.
Management of hip, femur, knee, tibia, ankle, and foot fractures in adults, drawing on extensive training at Melbourne's leading trauma hospitals.
Surgical repair and reconstruction of tendons and ligaments following acute traumatic injury, including rotator cuff, distal biceps, and forearm tendons.
Complex management of fracture-dislocations of the shoulder and elbow — injuries combining bone fracture with joint dislocation requiring specialist surgical expertise.
