MBBS, FRCS
Fellow, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, USA.
Medical Director and Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon
Dr. Lim graduated in 1989 from NUS, obtained his FRCS from Glasgow in 1993 and completed his training with a fellowship in Adult Reconstruction in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester in 1998.
Adult Reconstruction is the science, practice and art of replacing end stage arthritic joints. The majority of joint replacements Dr. Lim does are primary knee replacement surgeries. Primary hip replacements, partial knee replacements and revision knee and hip replacements follow in volume. The least frequent joint replacement surgeries Dr. Lim has had to do have been shoulder and elbow replacements.
Apart from joint replacement surgery Dr. Lim also performs ligament and soft tissue surgeries for the knee and shoulder. The commonest of these are arthroscopic meniscal surgery, ACL reconstruction surgery, shoulder rotator cuff and Bankart repairs.
Dr. Lim’s career path through first a public then a private institution has forged a philosophy in patient care which is to provide the patient with informed, sound and timely options for their problems. This philosophy continues to guide him to tread cautiously with respect to new advances that sometimes may be patient and industry driven rather than evidence based.
Apart from these specialized fields of Orthopaedic surgery, Dr. Lim’s experience and training has given him a very wide and deep background in managing general Orthopaedic conditions and Orthopaedic trauma.
