The fellow will work with the Hamilton Arthroplasty Group and rotate among the fellowship trained arthroplasty surgeons. The group performs over 1800 hip and knee reconstructive procedures annually and is the regional referral center for complex hip and knee revision cases. Common procedures performed by the Hamilton Arthroplasty Group include primary hip and knee arthroplasty, revision hip and knee arthroplasty, hip resurfacing, unicondylar knee arthroplasty, patellofemoral knee arthroplasty hip fracture care and knee arthroscopy. 

Fellows will be responsible for the surgical and non-surgical aspects of patient care, including ward and follow-up clinic responsibilities. The fellow will attend 2-3 OR sessions per week and 1-2 clinics with dedicated research time every week. A publication ready research project will be produced with the help of the Hamilton Arthroplasty Group research team. A large database of arthroplasty outcome data is available for research projects. The fellow will participate in on-call duties, weekly resident and clerkship teaching sessions and will be responsible for one Grand Rounds presentation.

Applications are restricted to graduates of approved Royal College certified residency programs at this time.
