Dr Carmody’s main interest is conditions of the foot, ankle and knee. His Fellowship training had an emphasis on arthroscopic techniques for treating arthritis and sports injuries.
This is a pure research Fellowship to work with our Research Committee on a number of ongoing studies. The Fellowship is deigned to develop the academic career of a highly motivated individual though multidisciplinary orthopaedic research on multiple research projects.
Mr Balakumar specialises in lower limb surgery including joint preservation surgeries of the hip, sports injury surgeries of the knee and scoliosis surgery in children.
This Fellowship will provide extensive training to recent orthopaedic graduates in the diagnosis and management of hip and knee arthroplasty, arthroscopy and the specialised osseointegration for above knee amputees.
Professor Carey Smith is part of the University Department of Orthopaedics at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital. His clinical interests focus on orthopaedic oncology and complex lower limb reconstruction.
