This is a specialist Fellowship Programme for qualified orthopaedic surgeons wishing to extend their expertise in lower limb, knee and shoulder surgery.
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.
The Fellowship involves delivery of all aspects of medical care to the patients being treated, including public and private patients and operating theatre responsibilities to gain advanced surgical training in reconstructive arthroplasty and trauma surgery.
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.
The Fellow will gain surgical experience in the fields of arthroplasty (including complex revision and computer navigation), sports medicine (including ACL reconstruction, shoulder, hip and knee arthroscopy) and trauma.
