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 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.
Dr Albietz exclusively consults and operates on all spinal conditions affecting the neck and lower back from disc prolapses causing sciatica to complex scoliosis or spinal tumour surgery in both adults and children.
Mr Wilde has expertise in all areas of the spine including cervical, thoracic and lumbar regions. He regularly performs minimally invasive spine surgery, which is appropriate for some lumbar spinal problems.
