Mr Benjamin Witte | Orthopaedic Surgeon
I am an experienced qualified Orthopaedic Surgeon specialising in knee surgery. During my years in practice, I have particularly concentrated on sports knee surgery and knee replacement.
After I completed my Orthopaedic training here in WA in 2001, I travelled to Sydney to undergo further Fellowship training in sports knee surgery and knee arthroplasty with Leo Pinczewski at the Mater Hospital. I also worked with Bill Walter Senior also at the Mater Hospital doing a ‘mini-Fellowship’ in hip arthroplasty.
My private practice is located at St John of God Hospital Murdoch (in the Wexford Centre) and I operate at St John of God Murdoch, Murdoch Surgicentre, Mount Hospital and Rockingham General Hospital. I also regularly visit and operate in the Kimberly (especially Kununurra).
Since I have returned to Perth, I have concentrated my practice south of the river and worked at Fremantle Hospital for 11 years (two as Head of Department of Orthopaedics) and have also worked at Armadale Hospital, Peel Health Campus and Rockingham Family Hospital (now Waikiki Private).
I also provide medicolegal reports for Workers’ Compensation and Motor Vehicle Accident claims, specialising in hip and knee injuries. I am an approved medical specialist (APIA) with WorkCover WA.
