About
Dr Xuan Ye is an Australian orthopaedic surgeon who specialises in conditions of the upper extremity – hand, wrist, elbow and shoulder – in adults, adolescents and children.
“My philosophy to patient care is centred on the belief that there is no “one size fits all” solution to upper limb conditions. Whilst surgery forms a key part of my practice, my objective is to maximise patients’ function in the least invasive manner possible, based on evidence-based research and an understanding every individual’s unique set of needs (both in their current stage of life and potentially the future, which is a particularly important consideration for adolescents and children). Where surgery is required, I operate using modern techniques and well-proven implants, and, with my microsurgical training, am meticulous in the handling of soft tissue through all my procedures.”
