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.
Professor Crawford deals only with pathology of the hip and knees. Much of his practice is dedicated to primary hip and knee replacement and knee arthroscopy surgery.
Dr Keeley’s interests are hip and knee surgery, complex trauma surgery and deformity correction. He has a strong research interest in teaching activities involving orthopaedic trainees, medical students and nurses.
Dr Macgroarty is a specialist knee and shoulder orthopaedic surgeon. He is focused on the management of complex knee and shoulder injuries in both professional and amateur athletes.
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 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.
