Adult Hip and Knee Reconstruction Fellowship (Arthroplasty)

During your fellowship, you will gain hands-on experience in a variety of cutting-edge surgical techniques, including:

• Primary hip and knee replacement: Master both cemented and uncemented implants to suit various patient needs.
• Surgical approaches: Learn multiple approaches for hip surgery, including direct anterior, lateral, and posterior techniques.
• Robotic-assisted knee replacement: Utilize advanced robotic technology for precise and effective knee replacements.
• Unicondylar arthroplasty: Explore partial knee replacement techniques that can significantly enhance recovery and mobility for patients.

With approximately 2,800 primary and revision hip and knee replacements performed annually by the Concordia Joint Replacement Group (CJRG), you will gain invaluable experience in a high-volume setting.

You will be guided by the Concordia Joint Replacement Group (CJRG), consisting of six fellowship-trained arthroplasty surgeons. Their commitment to mentorship will ensure you receive personalized guidance and support throughout your fellowship. Benefit from their wealth of knowledge and experience as you develop your skills in a collaborative environment.

Our fellowship is hosted in a facility equipped with state-of-the-art resources that will enhance your training experience:

• Surgical training suite: Practice and refine your skills in a cutting-edge environment that simulates real surgical conditions.
• RSA laboratory: Collaborate in dedicated radiostereometric analysis to improve surgical techniques and patient outcomes.
• Implant wear simulation and prototyping facilities: Work closely with the Orthopedic Innovation Centre to explore innovative technologies and techniques that shape the future of orthopedic care.

Engage in meaningful research that impacts the field of arthroplasty. As a fellow, you will have access to our clinical data repository, a comprehensive database designed for research and analysis. This resource empowers you to explore current trends and contribute to groundbreaking studies. You’ll also work in our implant retrieval laboratory, where you can retrieve and study implants to improve patient outcomes. Your research projects will not only enhance your learning experience but also allow you to publish your findings, positioning you as a thought leader in the field.
