The Fellowship encompasses learning the direct anterior approach to the hip; assessing patients before surgery for suitability for this procedure; following them through rehabilitation; undertaking outcomes research; and observing a variety of hip arthroscopic procedures.
The Fellowship is to provide experience and training in total joint arthroplasty, training in navigation, seminars on complex and difficult cases and clinical discussions.
The Fellow will gain surgical experience in the fields of arthroplasty (including complex revision and computer navigation), sports medicine (including ACL reconstruction, shoulder, hip and knee arthroscopy) and trauma.
The Fellowship involves delivery of all aspects of medical care to the patients being treated, including public and private patients and operating theatre responsibilities to gain advanced surgical training in reconstructive arthroplasty and trauma surgery.
This Fellowship will enable the Fellow on completion to successfully assess and examine hip patients; perform hip arthroscopy and hip osteotomies; assist and partially perform Ganz Peri-acetabular Osteotomies; and assist and later perform hip replacements via an anterior approach.
