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.
