This Fellowship is aimed at orthopaedic surgeons wishing to gain post Fellowship training in hip and knee arthroplasty techniques and approaches, with exposure to revision surgery.
The Fellowship encompasses all aspects of clinical involvement in sports orthopaedic management in a busy group practice, including assessment of new patients, surgical treatment at assistant level, post-operative care and rehabilitation.
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 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 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 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).
