Comprehensive orthopaedic care for the shoulder, elbow, wrist, and trauma — from non-operative management to complex reconstruction and joint replacement.

Shoulder Surgery

Shoulder Procedures in Melbourne

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.

01

Shoulder Arthroscopy (Keyhole Surgery)

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.

02

Rotator Cuff Repair

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.

03

Instability Surgery — Bankart Repair

Arthroscopic repair of the torn labrum following shoulder dislocation, restoring shoulder stability and enabling return to sport and active lifestyle.

04

Latarjet Procedure (Open Stabilisation)

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.

05

Total Shoulder Arthroplasty

Replacement of the arthritic shoulder joint with a prosthesis, restoring pain-free movement for patients with end-stage glenohumeral arthritis.

06

Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty

A specialised shoulder replacement for patients with combined severe arthritis and rotator cuff failure. Published research on revision of reverse shoulder arthroplasty.

07

Revision Shoulder Replacement

Complex revision procedures for failed shoulder replacements — including revision for aseptic loosening, instability, infection, and component failure.

08

Tendon Transfers

Surgical procedures to restore shoulder motion by rerouting functioning tendons to replace torn or irreparable ones — particularly valuable for irreparable rotator cuff tears.

09

AC Joint Reconstruction

Surgical stabilisation of the acromioclavicular joint following high-grade dislocation or chronic instability, restoring shoulder anatomy and function.

10

Scapula Management

Assessment and management of scapulothoracic abnormal motion including scapula dyskinesia, scapula winging, and snapping scapula syndrome.

Getting You Back to Sport

Many shoulder problems are sports-related. Dr Cosic regularly treats patients wanting to return to overhead, racquet, and contact sports.

Elbow & Wrist Surgery

Elbow & Wrist Procedures

Dr Cosic offers comprehensive management of elbow and wrist conditions — from common overuse injuries through to complex ligament reconstruction and joint replacement.

01

Elbow & Wrist Arthroscopy

Minimally invasive keyhole surgery of the elbow and wrist for diagnosis and treatment of intra-articular pathology, loose bodies, cartilage damage, and synovitis.

02

Elbow Ligament Repair & Reconstruction

Reconstruction of the lateral ulnar collateral ligament and medial collateral ligament for elbow instability.

03

Distal Biceps Tendon Repair & Reconstruction

Surgical repair of the distal biceps tendon following rupture at the elbow, restoring elbow flexion strength and forearm supination. Acute and chronic repairs performed.

04

Tennis Elbow & Golfer's Elbow

A stepwise approach including physiotherapy, injections, and surgical release. Both open and arthroscopic techniques available.

05

Surgical Management of Elbow Arthritis

Arthroscopic debridement and elbow contracture release for elbow arthritis, restoring range of motion and reducing pain.

06

Elbow Contracture Release

Arthroscopic or open release of stiff elbows following trauma, prolonged immobilisation, or arthritis — significantly improving range of motion and function.

07

Ulnar Nerve Conditions (Cubital Tunnel)

Surgical management of cubital tunnel syndrome and ulnar nerve entrapment, including in-situ decompression and ulnar nerve transposition.

08

Carpal Tunnel Decompression

Surgical decompression of the carpal tunnel for median nerve compression at the wrist, providing lasting relief from pain, numbness, and hand weakness.

09

Wrist Ligament Reconstruction

Ligament repair and reconstruction for instability of the wrist joints, including scapholunate and lunotriquetral ligament injuries.

10

Wrist Arthritis — Replacement & Fusion

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.

Elbow & Wrist Injuries in Sport

Tennis elbow, golfer's elbow, and elbow ligament injuries are common in racquet sports, golf, and throwing sports. Dr Cosic designs treatments to return you to play safely.

Shoulder Fractures

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.

02

Elbow Fractures

Management of radial head fractures, distal humerus fractures, and olecranon fractures — including fixation and joint replacement.

Wrist & Forearm Fractures

Surgical and non-surgical management of distal radius fractures, forearm fractures, and carpal bone fractures, restoring normal wrist anatomy and function.

04

AC Joint Injuries

Management of AC joint separations — from conservative treatment for lower grade injuries to surgical reconstruction for high-grade separations.

05

Dislocations

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.

07

Traumatic Soft Tissue Injuries

Surgical repair and reconstruction of tendons and ligaments following acute traumatic injury, including rotator cuff, distal biceps, and forearm tendons.

08

Fracture-Dislocations

Complex management of fracture-dislocations of the shoulder and elbow — injuries combining bone fracture with joint dislocation requiring specialist surgical expertise.
