This Fellowship is focused on orthopaedic surgeons wishing to gain experience in hip and knee arthroplasty, reconstructive and arthroscopic knee surgery, hip arthroscopy. There will be both a clinical and research component to the Fellowship.
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 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 Fellowship encompasses all aspects of clinical involvement in foot and ankle management in a busy 14-member group practice. It includes assessment of new patients, surgical treatment at assistant level, post-operative care and rehabilitation.
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.
