This Fellowship is aimed at Fellows wishing to gain experience with diseases of the knee and arthroplasty, particularly in the sports medicine environment. The Fellowship is offered through the North Sydney Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Centre.
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 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 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.
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.
