Dr Anthony Samson

Assessment and treatment of hip and knee conditions, including joint replacement surgery

Dr Anthony Samson is an Australian-trained Orthopaedic Surgeon based in South Australia, providing care for a range of hip and knee conditions. He helps patients manage pain, stiffness, instability and reduced mobility associated with arthritis, injury and degenerative joint conditions.

Treatment is tailored to your symptoms, lifestyle, activity goals and overall health, with both non-surgical and surgical options considered where appropriate. Dr Samson consults privately at Flinders Private Hospital in Bedford Park and Victor Harbor.

Clinical Focus and Areas of Interest

Dr Samson provides assessment and treatment for a range of hip and knee conditions, with a particular focus on:

  • Hip and knee arthritis, helping patients manage pain, stiffness and reduced mobility
  • Primary and revision joint replacement surgery, for patients considering their first joint replacement or experiencing problems with an existing implant
  • Sports-related knee injuries, with treatment tailored to the injury, activity level and return-to-sport goals

When surgery is appropriate, Dr Samson uses contemporary techniques and technology to support careful planning and accurate implant positioning. This includes direct anterior approach hip replacement and robotic-assisted knee replacement for suitable patients.

The aim is to provide treatment that is tailored to your condition and goals, with a focus on reducing pain, restoring movement and function, and supporting your return to everyday activities.

Surgical Approach and Patient Experience
Dr Samson provides clear information and treatment options tailored to your condition, lifestyle and goals, so you can understand your diagnosis and make informed decisions about your care. When surgery is appropriate, he uses evidence-based techniques and enhanced recovery principles to support pain management, rehabilitation and a safe return to everyday activities.

Where surgery is not required, or can be delayed, Dr Samson will discuss non-surgical treatment options such as physiotherapy, activity modification and injections, with the aim of reducing symptoms, maintaining mobility and helping you stay active.
