Orthopaedic surgery
Profile
Dr Samuel Lynskey is an orthopaedic surgeon with a clinical focus on sports knee surgery, hip and knee arthroplasty, and trauma.
Following completion of his orthopaedic training through the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons, Dr Lynskey undertook fellowship training in joint reconstruction, sports knee surgery, and trauma. This included experience in robotic-assisted arthroplasty at St Vincent’s Hospital Melbourne and the Fortius Clinic in London, with exposure to high-volume joint replacement practice.
Dr Lynskey performs hip and knee arthroplasty, including robotic-assisted knee replacement and total hip replacement via anterior and posterior approaches. His practice includes both primary and revision joint replacement.
He completed the Fortius Sports Knee Fellowship in London, with experience in the management of ligament injuries, meniscal pathology, cartilage conditions, and knee realignment procedures. This included involvement in the care of patients across recreational and elite sporting populations.
Dr Lynskey subsequently undertook a rural fellowship in hip and knee arthroplasty and trauma, with exposure to a broad range of primary and complex cases.
In addition to clinical practice, Dr Lynskey has completed a PhD investigating tendon healing and osteoarthritis.
He holds public consultant appointments at St Vincent’s Hospital Melbourne and Northern Health, and is Scientific Secretary for the Victorian Branch of the Australian Orthopaedic Association.
Clinical Approach
Dr Lynskey’s practice is guided by evidence-based decision-making and contemporary orthopaedic surgical techniques. Management options are considered in the context of each patient’s clinical presentation, functional requirements, and treatment goals. He manages patients with sports-related knee injuries, degenerative joint conditions, and orthopaedic trauma, with consideration of both operative and non-operative management where appropriate.
