Dr Terry Stephens is an orthopaedic surgeon with a subspecialty focus on hip and knee arthroplasty, including both primary and complex revision joint replacement. He performs primary hip and knee replacement surgery utilising advanced surgical techniques, including robotic-assisted surgery, to optimise alignment, fixation, and functional outcomes. His practice encompasses the management of degenerative joint disease, failed arthroplasty, and complex reconstructive problems, with an emphasis on durable outcomes and restoration of function.
Dr Stephens completed advanced international fellowship training in Canada. He undertook a complex hip and knee arthroplasty fellowship in Halifax, gaining extensive experience in challenging primary and revision joint replacement, implant selection, and management of bone loss. He also completed a trauma fellowship in Calgary, with focused training in high-energy trauma, pelvic and acetabular fracture reconstruction, and complex periarticular injuries.
He has significant experience in pelvic and acetabular trauma surgery, developed further during his work at The Alfred Hospital, one of Australia’s leading major trauma centres. This background provides a strong foundation for his revision arthroplasty practice, particularly in cases involving deformity, bone loss, periprosthetic fracture, and complex reconstruction.
Dr Stephens currently consults in Langwarrin. He performs private surgery at Peninsula Private Hospital and holds public appointments within Bayside Health, operating across both The Alfred Hospital and Frankston Hospital campuses.
He is committed to evidence-based practice, meticulous pre-operative planning, and clear communication with patients and referring doctors.
