Dr Jason Chinnappa is an orthopaedic surgeon with a focus on the management of adult and paediatric patients with problems affecting their hips, knees, ankles and feet.
Dr Chinnappa grew up in Sydney before finishing his medical degree in Melbourne and then completing the AOA orthopaedic surgery training program in NSW, Australia. He has since undertaken subspecialty Hip & Knee Reconstruction, and Foot & Ankle Reconstruction fellowships in Sydney before moving to Paris, France to complete an international fellowship in Paediatric Orthopaedic Surgery.
