Professor Carey Smith is part of the University Department of Orthopaedics at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital. His clinical interests focus on orthopaedic oncology and complex lower limb reconstruction.
This Fellowship is to provide orthopaedic research and the opportunity to gain experience with diseases of the knee and joint arthroplasty in the sports medicine environment.
The Fellowship involves delivery of all aspects of medical care to the patients being treated, including public and private patients and operating theatre responsibilities to gain advanced surgical training in reconstructive arthroplasty and trauma 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.
The Fellow will have a keen interest to further their clinical knowledge and practical skills. It is predominantly a hip and knee private practice experience with a public hospital affiliation.
This Fellowship will enable the Fellow on completion to successfully assess and examine hip patients; perform hip arthroscopy and hip osteotomies; assist and partially perform Ganz Peri-acetabular Osteotomies; and assist and later perform hip replacements via an anterior approach.
