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.
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.
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.
Dr McEwen has a particular interest in surgery for sporting injuries of the knee and his post fellowship training and ongoing involvement with the ICRS and ISAKOS reflects this interest.
