Orthopaedic Surgeon, Sunshine Coast, Queensland.
A focused practice.
Built around your journey.
Professor Daevyd Rodda is an orthopaedic surgeon on the Sunshine Coast. His practice focuses exclusively on hip and knee replacement using muscle-sparing approaches, including anterior approach hip replacement and subvastus (quadriceps-sparing) knee replacement. He uses robotic and patient-matched technology to optimise surgical accuracy. He primarily operates at the purpose-built Maroochy Private Hospital.
Subspecialty focus.
The practice is focused exclusively on hip and knee replacement. This laser focus results in a highly refined model of care, where every aspect of the patient journey is curated specifically to the needs of joint replacement patients. It allows the entire team to develop deep experience in this field and to continually refine the systems, pathways and support that surround each patient.
Hip · anterior approach
Hip Replacement
Anterior hip replacement is a muscle-sparing approach designed to minimise disruption to the muscles surrounding the hip. Professor Rodda has focused on this technique for more than a decade.

Knee · patient-matched, quadriceps sparing
Knee Replacement
The subvastus approach is a muscle-sparing technique that allows knee replacement to be performed without cutting through the quadriceps tendon. Professor Rodda combines this approach with robotic and patient-matched technology to support precise surgical planning and execution.

Professor Rodda works with all funds, and has no-gap arrangements with the following.
Professor Rodda has played a pioneering role in no-gap joint replacement in Australia. He founded Medibank's No Gap Joint Replacement Program in 2019 and has since established no-gap arrangements with HCF and nib, and most recently with Bupa, an exclusive arrangement on the Sunshine Coast.
These arrangements are not based on simply waiving the usual surgical gap. Professor Rodda has negotiated with participating health funds for them to pay the gaps on behalf of eligible members, including the fees of Professor Rodda, the anaesthetist and surgical assistant. Patients also have access to his established peri-operative support and joint replacement pathway, with some health funds also covering physiotherapy.
What is covered varies by fund and by your level of policy, so select your fund to see how the arrangement applies. A written fee estimate confirms your position before anything is booked.

Purpose-built for orthopaedics. Designed around recovery.
Maroochy Private Hospital was purpose-built with a strong focus on orthopaedics and a carefully curated patient experience. As Founder and Director of Joint Replacement Surgery, Professor Rodda has helped shape a hospital environment centred on wellness and recovery, rather than illness.
That same attention has been given to the people. A strong staff culture has allowed Maroochy Private to hand-pick an experienced team of orthopaedic nurses and clinical staff from across the Sunshine Coast, bringing together people chosen not only for their experience, but for their commitment to the way patients are cared for.
The result is a highly focused environment where the facilities, the team and the model of care are all designed around the joint replacement journey. Consultation, imaging, pre-admission, surgery and follow-up can all take place in one location, creating continuity from preparation through to recovery.
It reflects Professor Rodda's broader philosophy: joint replacement is a journey, not just a procedure.
