David W. Liu is an Orthopedic Surgeon based in Brisbane, QLD, Australia. He helps people with painful, worn-out joints and other everyday mobility problems that can slowly build up over time.
Most of his work is about knees and hips. That includes knee replacement and hip replacement when arthritis or long-term wear and tear starts to affect daily life. In many cases, people come in with ongoing joint pain, stiffness, and trouble walking, climbing stairs, or getting comfortable at night.
He also looks after people with arthritis and osteoarthritis. These conditions can show up as aching that comes and goes, swelling at times, and a feeling that a joint just doesn’t move the way it used to. Treatment plans can vary, and it often comes down to what’s been tried already, how much the joint is affected, and what helps you get back to the things you want to do.
When surgery is being considered, he focuses on clear next steps and practical expectations. Joint replacement is a big decision, so the process matters. At times, he may help patients think through options first, including ways to manage symptoms while deciding what suits best.
Alongside joint care, his service list also includes fibroadenoma. A fibroadenoma is a breast lump that’s usually not cancer, but it still needs proper checks and follow-up. Where this fits into care, it’s important that the right team is involved and that scans or tests are handled properly, so the overall plan stays safe and organised.
Over time, he keeps an eye on what’s changing in care and how outcomes are reported. That means he stays up to date with research findings and looks at the evidence behind different approaches, including what clinical trials are learning for the future.
If you’re dealing with knee or hip pain, arthritis, or osteoarthritis, a consultation with David W. Liu is a good place to start. The aim is simple: understand what’s going on, talk through options, and work out a plan that fits your day-to-day life in Brisbane.
