The Fellow will assist in AMIS (Anterior Minimally Invasive Surgery) for Total Hip Arthroplasty and Conventional and Patient Matched Instrumentation for Total Knee Arthroplasty.
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 goal of the Fellowship is to gain instruction and expertise in the assessment, planning and surgical management of all lower limb arthroplasty procedures.
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.
This Fellowship is designed to educate the Fellow in all aspects of orthopaedic oncology including pathology, surgery, radiology and understanding of adjuvant therapies. The Fellow is expected to have completed his advanced orthopaedic training.
This Fellowship will provide extensive training to recent orthopaedic graduates in the diagnosis and management of hip and knee arthroplasty, arthroscopy and the specialised osseointegration for above knee amputees.
