Mr Gayan Padmasekara

I am an Australian-trained Orthopaedic Surgeon specialising in sub-specialty shoulder and upper limb surgery. I provide comprehensive care for shoulder, elbow, and wrist conditions, as well as complex upper limb trauma, utilising advanced arthroscopic and reconstructive techniques.

After graduating from Monash University (MBBS, 2007) and completing Orthopaedic training in Victoria (FRACS, 2019), I completed advanced sub-specialty fellowship training with the Melbourne Orthopaedic Group. I also hold a Master of Surgery and a Master of Sports Medicine.

I am the founder of Melbourne Shoulder and Upper Limb, established the upper limb service at Wonthaggi Hospital, and serve as a fellowship supervisor. Active in research and innovation, I lead clinical trials in radiofrequency ablation of the shoulder, rotator cuff augmentation and frozen shoulder, advocate for Artificial Intelligence applications in orthopaedics, and host the WorkCover Compass podcast.
