Dr Karpik has a special interest in joint replacement of the hip, knee and shoulder. He also specialises in sport medicine and general musculo-skeletal problems of the shoulder and lower limb.
Dr Wines specialises in arthroscopic and reconstructive surgery of the foot and ankle in adults and children. His research interests include minimally invasive bunion surgery and pain relief after forefoot surgery.
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 Fellow is expected to become an integral part of the department, which undertakes the full spectrum of arthroplasty work. The Fellow will be assessing new and follow-up patients in clinic and attending theatre lists.
This Fellowship is aimed at Fellows wishing to gain experience with diseases of the knee and arthroplasty, particularly in the sports medicine environment. The Fellowship is offered through the North Sydney Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Centre.
