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 an integral part of the Orthopaedic Unit of the University of Melbourne (Western Health). The Fellowship is principally concerned with the teaching of orthopaedic aspects of shoulder and elbow surgery.
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.
Mr McMahon specialises in the management of arthritis and injuries of the hip and knee including sports injuries. He was one of the first surgeons in Australia to embrace the recent advances in hip resurfacing.
Professor Crawford deals only with pathology of the hip and knees. Much of his practice is dedicated to primary hip and knee replacement and knee arthroscopy surgery.
