The Fellowship is an integral part of the Orthopaedic Unit of the University of Melbourne (Western Health). The Fellowship is principally concerned with the teaching of orthopaedic aspects of shoulder and elbow surgery.
The Fellow will work with Dr Burrow, whose particular interest is in arthroscopic surgery for sporting injuries, shoulder instability, rotator cuff tears, knee ligament injuries as well as surgery for shoulder and knee arthritis.
This is a specialist Fellowship Programme for qualified orthopaedic surgeons wishing to extend their expertise in lower limb, knee and shoulder surgery.
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 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.
