Dr Brett Fritsch

Dr Brett Fritsch specialises in arthroscopic and replacement surgery of the knee. He has a particular interest in sports injuries of the knee, ligament reconstruction, cartilage and meniscal pathology of the knee, and patella instability.

Brett has a keen interest in surgery aimed at keeping his patients active. He has a background as an elite level sportsman which stimulated his interest in techniques aimed at returning athletes of all levels to their recreational and occupational activity of choice. These techniques are applicable to all patients with knee pathology, with the aim to restore and prolong a lifetime of activity. When these reconstructive options have been exhausted, or are not suitable, arthroplasty provides a definitive solution.
