Mr Paul Einoder

I specialise in reconstructive orthopaedic surgery aimed at relieving pain and restoring quality of life to my patients. For all my clients I tailor treatment to their individual condition and needs. I strongly believe that patients should be treated with the utmost of respect and care.

I commenced working in Tasmania after obtaining my Orthopaedic Surgery Fellowship with the Royal Australian College of Surgeons in 2007. Since then I have continued to work at both the Hobart Private Hospital and Royal Hobart Hospital providing elective and emergency services to both insured and uninsured patients.

Regular attendances at conferences and workshops have allowed me to keep abreast of recent advances in the expanding feld of Orthopaedic surgery.

The bulk of my practice involves elective shoulder and knee surgery. I perform reconstruction and repair where possible, and joint replacement when necessary.

My specialty interest is treating shoulders. Success of shoulder surgery has improved dramatically over recent years. Many elderly people suffering with chronic disabling shoulder symptoms can now experience resolution of pain and restoration of function with shoulder replacement surgery.

I have extensive experience in this area and at Hobart Private Hospital have the busiest shoulder practice in Tasmania.

In 2020 Hobart Private Hospital was Tasmania’s first hospital to acquire a MAKO robot to assist in joint replacement surgery. This allows surgery to be carried out with greater accuracy than conventional methods. Since it arrived I have been using the MAKO robot to perform knee replacements and have witnessed an accelerated recovery in my patients.

MAKO robotic shoulder surgery is presently being developed in the USA and will likely be approved for use in Australia later this year. After completing the required training I will be one of the first Australian surgeons to introduce this technology in my shoulder practice.

Hobart Private Hospital has an emergency department staffed around the clock by dedicated emergency specialists. I accept emergency referrals for both upper and lower limb trauma which can be managed in or out of hours as required.

I enjoy teaching and mentoring the surgeons of tomorrow. From 2017 until 2022 I held the position of Director of Training for orthopaedic registrar’s at the Royal Hobart Hospital.

Outside of medicine I enjoy sailing, skiing and quality family time.

Referrals can be emailed or faxed to my consulting rooms at Hobart Private Hospital and are triaged daily.
