Dr Chen Tu brings specialist expertise in shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand surgery together with careful planning, technical precision and a personal approach to care.

His practice includes arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, patient-specific planning for shoulder replacement, endoscopic carpal tunnel release and thumb joint replacement. He places a strong emphasis on selecting the right treatment for each patient and planning carefully for both surgery and recovery.

His clinical work is supported by published research and a commitment to teaching. During orthopaedic training, he was granted an early sitting of the fellowship examination through the Exceptional Performance Pathway and received an award for teaching excellence. He is a Clinical Associate Lecturer at the University of Adelaide and a Fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons and the Australian Orthopaedic Association.

That expertise starts with understanding what matters to you. Dr Tu listens to your concerns, explains his assessment and recommendations clearly, and discusses the benefits, risks and recovery involved. Together, you can choose a plan that suits your condition and goals, including non-surgical care where appropriate.
