Michael J. Dan is an Orthopedic Surgeon based in Randwick, NSW. His practice address is Gate 6 Avoca Street, Randwick, NSW 2031, Australia. He helps people who are dealing with painful or worn joint problems, especially around the knee.
In many cases, patients come in with ongoing pain that affects walking, stairs, work, or sport. Some people also have issues linked to tendon pain, including tendinitis, where the area gets sore and stiff over time. Others need a closer look when the knee does not track smoothly, such as with trochlear dysplasia.
Michael also looks after people with hypermobile joints. That can mean joints feel a bit unstable, or the body needs help coping with movement and strain. The goal is usually to reduce pain, improve function, and help the joint move in a more comfortable way.
Treatment can involve different surgical options, depending on what’s going on. For example, an osteotomy may be considered when the bone alignment needs adjusting. Knee replacement is another option for suitable cases, particularly when a joint is significantly worn and conservative care hasn’t been enough. At times, endoscopy is used to look inside the knee and help guide treatment for certain problems.
Because each situation is different, appointments often start with a good assessment and a clear plan. That plan may include surgery, or it may focus more on preparing for surgery and getting the right support around recovery. The approach is practical and based on what will help most for day-to-day life.

If you’re not sure whether your symptoms fit one of these common knee and joint problems, it’s still worth having the issue checked. Small changes in how a knee feels can matter, and getting the right diagnosis is often the first step toward feeling better.
