Goals and
characteristics
The Fellow will gain
experience in the examination of the shoulder, elbow, wrist, and hand in a
private practice setting.
The emphasis is on tertiary, reconstructive and sports medicine surgery. The
Fellow shares the experience with staff members,
and may attend bimonthly orthopaedic teaching conferences. The Fellow will learn
state-of-the-art approaches to arthroscopic
and open treatment of shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand injuries. This includes
trauma, arthritic conditions and sports injuries.
Approximately 30-40% deals with revision surgery.
The Fellow will also be
exposed to the latest techniques in arthroscopy, endoscopic carpal tunnel
release, congenital
hand anomalies, and nerve repair, as well as the routine reconstructive hand
surgery procedures which include Dupuytren’s
contracture, arthritis, and trauma. Elbow ligament reconstruction and total
elbow replacements comprise the majority of the
elbow cases.
Anatomical dissections and
preparation of publication-quality research papers are expected in conjunction
with the
fellowship. Expenses for a national orthopaedic meeting are provided by the
office and/or commercial sources. The program
design does not qualify the Fellow to take the certificate of added
qualification for hand surgery.
This program is part of the
ASES Fellow Match. Interviews will be conducted between Labor Day and
Thanksgiving.
Positions will be offered the second week of December.
