The Fellowship is principally concerned with the teaching of orthopaedic aspects of shoulder and elbow surgery. Experience in this area includes joint replacement, arthroplasty and all types of arthroscopic surgery.
Associate Professor Walter’s interest is in hip and knee issues from arthroscopic procedures, straightforward joint replacement surgery to highly complex conditions.
The goal of the Fellowship is to gain instruction and expertise in the assessment, planning and surgical management of all lower limb arthroplasty procedures.
The Fellow will gain further experience and training in all aspects of adult hip and knee joint arthroplasty, including arthroscopic knee ligament reconstruction, in a busy metropolitan practice.
This Fellowship will provide exposure to moderately complex primary joint replacements of the knee, hip and shoulder and revision arthroplasties. You will participate in departmental meetings and undertake research for peer review on a six monthly basis.
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.
