Dr Elie Khoury ~ Orthopaedic Surgeon. Speaker. Standards-setter and your next event speaker.
For thirty years, Dr Khoury has operated on hips and knees. He also chairs the committee that sets Australia's standards for surgical implants. So when he talks about what good orthopaedic care looks like, he's not theorising. He's lived it, on both sides.
He speaks the way he operates. Calm, clear, and always focused on what actually helps the person in front of him.
Speaker Bio
Dr Khoury is a senior orthopaedic surgeon, and hips and knees are his specialisation: replacement, complex revision, trauma, and sports injuries. His training took him from Melbourne to the Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre in Oxford, where he completed his fellowship.
There’s plenty happens outside the operating theatre, too. As Chair of the Australian Standards Committee for Surgical Implants, he helps shape the rules the profession works to. The rest of his week runs wide: lecturing, mentoring trainee surgeons, looking after the players at Malvern City FC, giving expert medico-legal opinion, and doing pro-bono surgical work for medical charities here and overseas.
As a former marathon runner, squash player, and golfer, he knows exactly what it feels like to want your body to keep doing the things you love, and what it takes to get back there.
Speaker Topics
