About Us
Experience
Mr Santosh Jacob is a highly trained and experienced orthopaedic surgeon with over 18 years of experience as an orthopaedic consultant.
He has completed fellowships at 3 of the most prestigious centres for arthroplasty and arthroscopy in Adelaide, Sydney and Melbourne and has worked with Olympic and other international athletes and professional teams over the years.
He is based in the Southeastern suburbs of Melbourne at the gateway to the Mornington peninsula and residing locally he understands the needs of the local population.
His passion is sport surgery including cruciate reconstruction (ACL) operations, shoulder stabilisation surgery and arthroscopic surgery ( keyhole operations) of all the major joints.
His expertise in arthroplasty of the hip, knee and shoulder make him much sought after. His preference is for patient-specific joint replacement surgery, planning and tailoring the procedure to be customised to the individual patient.
He is also an experienced trauma surgeon managing fractures and dislocations in children, adults and the elderly for close to 20 years.
Most importantly he is an honest, kind and compassionate surgeon, whose practice is patient- centred.
