Dr Richard Harbury is an Orthopaedic Surgeon who has practiced in Newcastle and Maitland since 2005. After initial medical training in the UK, he undertook specialist and post fellowship orthopaedic training in Newcastle and Sydney. This entailed 14 years medical and surgical study prior to specialist practice. His particular areas of subspecialisation are:

• Sports medicine/reconstructions of the knee
