The Perth Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Centre is the longest established, and one of the largest, Orthopaedic group practices in Perth. With nine orthopaedic surgeons, a rheumatologist and Sports Medicine Physician on site, the group provides a comprehensive range of orthopaedic sub-specialty services including, medical management and surgery for sports injuries, arthroscopic surgery, ligament reconstructive surgery, and joint replacement.

It was founded in 1988 by Dr Keith Holt, to bring the then new techniques of arthroscopic reconstructive surgery to the sporting community. Since then, the clinic has expanded to include other, fellowship trained, Sub-specialist Orthopaedic Surgeons and Sports Medicine Physicians. With the exception of spinal surgery, all aspects of musculo-skeletal medicine are catered for. It has a national reputation for the treatment of knee injuries, shoulder injuries, and sports surgery. At the main office in West Perth, there is on site radiology, physiotherapy and hand therapy.

The clinic pioneered arthroscopic reconstructive surgery in this state and, through its reputation, has attracted internationally trained Orthopaedic Surgeons to its fellowship programs for over 20 years. This on-going commitment to the medical education of Orthopaedic Specialists is combined with commitments to the Perth Orthopaedic Registrar Training Program, the Sports Medicine Physician Program and, through seminars and talks, to the wider medical community.
