Prof Raj (Rajitha) Gunaratne is an Orthopaedic Surgeon based in Geraldton, Western Australia. You’ll find the practice at 51-85 Shenton Street, Geraldton WA 6530. The clinic focuses on day-to-day bone and joint problems, especially when pain or trouble moving starts to affect everyday life.
In many cases, he looks after people who need fracture care. That can include injuries where bones have been hurt and healing needs proper follow-up. He also helps with arthritis management, which often means working out what’s causing flare-ups and what can make day-to-day movement easier.
Joint injections are another part of the work. These can be used for ongoing joint pain, particularly when other steps haven’t given enough relief. At the same time, he can organise physical therapy referrals when movement, strength, and function need a practical plan alongside medical care.
Because orthopaedic issues can be different from person to person, care is usually about getting the basics right first—pain control, safe movement, and a clear idea of what to do next. Sometimes that includes more time and review, rather than rushing into the biggest option straight away.
Public details about work experience and education aren’t listed here, but he is an established orthopaedic specialist working from this Geraldton practice. He also works with patients who speak English or Sinhala, which can make communication easier during appointments.
