This Fellowship is focused on orthopaedic surgeons wishing to gain experience with diseases of the knee and joint arthroplasty, particularly in the sports medicine environment, and is offered through the North Sydney Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Centre.
The Fellow will have a keen interest to further their clinical knowledge and practical skills. It is predominantly a hip and knee private practice experience with a public hospital affiliation.
The Fellow is expected to become an integral part of the department, which undertakes the full spectrum of arthroplasty work. The Fellow will be assessing new and follow-up patients in clinic and attending theatre lists.
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.
This Fellowship is focused on hip and knee arthroplasty surgery and revision surgery. It will also involve hip, knee and shoulder arthroscopy and knee reconstruction.
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.
