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.
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.
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.
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.
