The goal of the Fellowship is to gain instruction and expertise in the assessment, planning and surgical management of all lower limb arthroplasty procedures.
Mr Shimmin has performed over 10,000 surgical procedures with special expertise in hip and knee joint replacement and arthroscopy and knee reconstruction of injured athletes.
The Fellowship is designed for surgeons who have completed their training and are seeking further subspecialty training in hip and knee arthroplasty, reconstructive and arthroscopic knee surgery and hip arthroscopy.
The Fellowship is principally concerned with the teaching of orthopaedic aspects of shoulder, elbow and knee surgery. Experience in this area includes arthroscopic reconstruction and joint replacement.
This Fellowship focuses on the reconstructive and arthroplasty surgery of the hip and knee joints. The Fellow will be involved in pre-operative evaluation and surgery in a large and busy joint replacement practice.
Associate Professor Ek is a hand and upper limb surgeon who specialises in the treatment of degenerative, inflammatory and traumatic conditions involving the hand, elbow and shoulder.
Dr Journeaux’s major orthopaedic elective interest is in lower limb joint replacement including hip and knee arthroplasty with a special interest in revision hip 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 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.
