Hip and Knee Arthroplasty Fellow

at  University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Foundation Trust

The Arthroplasty Fellow will be directly involved in the day to day care of the Trauma & Orthopaedic patients admitted to their firm. There is a day to day commitment to clinics & operating sessions with the opportunity to experience the full spectrum of hip and knee surgery including primary hip and knee replacement surgery and revision surgery. The department is a major revision centre and is currently involved in the RACER trial for hips and knees. There are also dedicated trauma lists.
There are complex knee and knee MDT meetings to discuss and plan difficult cases. It should be noted that this post does not carry with it a National Training Number of right as the focus of the Fellowship has moved towards post CCT super-specialist Training. However the post holders have, in the past, always been given retrospective approval by the SAC if the need arose due to their stage of training
