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.
The Fellowship is largely clinical with a heavy weighting towards knee surgery. Some flexibility exists to structure the Fellowship with additional exposure to hip and/or shoulder surgery.
Dr Herald specialises in the management of sports injuries, trauma and arthritis of the shoulder, elbow and knee and is a current examiner for the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (RACS).
Dr Liu specialises in hip and knee surgery with a particular interest in reconstruction of the sports injured knee, surgical treatment of hip and knee arthritis and computer navigated knee replacement surgery.
Dr Coleman specialises in arthroscopic surgery of the knee and shoulder including complex knee ligament reconstruction and arthroscopic shoulder surgery and joint replacement.
Associate Professor Pinczewski specialises in arthroscopic and reconstructive surgery of the knee, ACL reconstruction, knee replacement surgery and clinical research in knee surgery.
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 work with Dr Burrow, whose particular interest is in arthroscopic surgery for sporting injuries, shoulder instability, rotator cuff tears, knee ligament injuries as well as surgery for shoulder and knee arthritis.
Dr Albietz exclusively consults and operates on all spinal conditions affecting the neck and lower back from disc prolapses causing sciatica to complex scoliosis or spinal tumour surgery in both adults and children.
