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.
This Fellowship involves a wide range of adult joint reconstructive surgery from joint preserving procedures and primary arthroplasty to complex revision surgery.
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 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 Fellowship is focused on hip and knee arthroplasty surgery and revision surgery. It will also involve hip, knee and shoulder arthroscopy and knee reconstruction.
