Mr Varun Arora is an Australian-trained Orthopaedic Surgeon with subspecialist expertise in surgery of the pelvis, hip and knee. He treats patients with arthritis, sports knee injuries, complex hip conditions and failed or painful joint replacements, as well as adults and children with acute fractures and orthopaedic injuries.
His practice encompasses joint-preserving treatment, direct anterior approach hip replacement, robotic-assisted hip and knee replacement, revision hip and knee surgery, ACL reconstruction and sports knee surgery, pelvic and acetabular surgery, and complex trauma reconstruction.
Varun graduated from the University of Melbourne in 2009 with a Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery with Honours. He subsequently completed a Postgraduate Diploma in Surgical Anatomy at the University of Melbourne.
He undertook specialist orthopaedic training through the Australian Orthopaedic Association across multiple hospitals in Victoria and Tasmania. In 2022, he was admitted as a Fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons in Orthopaedic Surgery and became a Fellow of the Australian Orthopaedic Association.
In 2023, Varun worked as a full-time consultant orthopaedic surgeon at Austin Health, managing high-acuity adult and paediatric trauma and undertaking hip and knee replacement and sports knee surgery.
He then completed advanced subspecialty fellowship training with the Melbourne Orthopaedic Group, gaining further experience in direct anterior approach hip replacement, complex and revision hip surgery, robotic-assisted knee replacement, hip preservation and sports knee surgery.
Varun subsequently travelled to Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge, one of the United Kingdom's busiest major trauma centres, for a 12-month Pelvic, Acetabular and Revision Hip replacement fellowship. As the unit's primary pelvic and acetabular fellow, he developed extensive experience in complex pelvic and acetabular reconstruction, periprosthetic fractures, revision hip replacement and combined fixation-and-replacement procedures for complex acetabular fractures in older patients.
His fellowship experience was complemented by focused visiting fellowships in France, Switzerland and Austria with specialist surgeons in direct anterior hip replacement, hip preservation and complex hip reconstruction.
This combination of Australian and international training allows him to tailor treatment to the individual patient, from joint-preserving care through to complex reconstruction and revision surgery using multiple contemporary techniques.
