About Reconstructive Orthopaedics Melbourne (ROM)

Reconstructive Orthopaedics Melbourne (ROM) was founded with a singular purpose — to deliver the highest standard of patient care in reconstructive and trauma-related orthopaedic surgery, while advancing the science of biomechanics through world-class research.

At ROM, clinical excellence is not just a goal — it’s a commitment. Led by A/Professor Lukas Ernstbrunner, an internationally recognised orthopaedic surgeon and biomechanics researcher, ROM brings together advanced surgical practice with pioneering research in conditions of the musculoskeletal system and innovation in orthopaedic surgery. We treat patients with compassion and precision, offering evidence-based care tailored to each individual’s needs — whether it’s restoring mobility after trauma or improving quality of life through joint reconstruction.

Our Values

At ROM, we are guided by the following core values:

  • Clinical Excellence – We uphold the highest standards of surgical expertise and patient care, from first consultation to full recovery.

  • Innovation Through Research – We are driven by a passion for discovery. Our biomechanics research informs our practice and contributes to global orthopaedic knowledge.

  • Integrity and Trust – We believe in open communication, ethical practice, and putting the patient’s best interests first.

  • Collaboration and Learning – We value the exchange of knowledge between clinicians, researchers, and the broader medical community.

  • Compassionate Care – We treat our patients with empathy, respect, and a deep commitment to their well-being.

Our Purpose

ROM's purpose is to restore mobility, reduce pain, and improve lives — through reconstructive orthopaedic surgery grounded in science, and through research that redefines what’s possible in musculoskeletal surgery.
