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.
Dr Annear specialises in ACL reconstruction, lower limb sports surgery including groin and hamstring surgery, lower limb arthritis surgery and paediatric orthopaedics.
Dr Walter has had a strong interest in hip and knee replacement surgery since the 1970s, when first undertaken in Australia. He is among the most respected surgeons in Australia.
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.
