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 for a qualified orthopaedic surgeon wishing to extend his/her expertise in shoulder surgery, knee surgery or hand and upper limb surgery.
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.
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.
The Fellow will assist in AMIS (Anterior Minimally Invasive Surgery) for Total Hip Arthroplasty and Conventional and Patient Matched Instrumentation for Total Knee Arthroplasty.
