Pamela Railton is an Orthopaedic Surgeon based in Orange, NSW, Australia. Her work focuses on problems around the hip, where pain can make everyday things feel hard—walking, getting up from a chair, or even sleeping.
People see her when they have hip arthritis or osteoarthritis, including ongoing, niggling pain that builds over time. Some come after an injury or after a change in how the hip works. Others have treatment needs that start with the hip joint itself, and then move on to options like a hip replacement when it’s the best fit for their situation.
Pamela also looks after conditions that are more specific to the way the hip sits and grows. Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis (SCFE) is one example. This is often seen in younger patients, and early care matters. At times, treatment can include an osteotomy, which aims to improve how the bones line up so the joint can cope better.
Hip resurfacing is another option that may suit some patients. It’s one of the procedures used when the goal is to address damaged joint surfaces, rather than going straight to a full replacement. The right approach depends on the person’s symptoms, age, and what the hip looks like on scans.
Over time, Pamela’s care is about making things clear and keeping decisions practical. Surgery is never a small step, so the plan is usually discussed in a calm way, with attention to comfort and recovery. The aim is to help patients get back to the activities that matter most, at a pace that’s realistic for them.
Pamela Railton performs hip-focused orthopaedic surgery and works with people dealing with hip resurfacing, osteotomy, SCFE, arthritis, hip replacement, and osteoarthritis. Her practice is based in Orange, so local patients and those from nearby areas can access specialist care close to home.
