Robert B. Bourne, MD, Steven J. MacDonald, MD, Richard W. McCalden MD, James McAuley, MD, Douglas Naudie, MD, and James Howard, MD, are pleased to offer a comprehensive adult reconstructive fellowship in London, Ontario, Canada. The fellowship includes diagnosis, evaluation, and management of degenerative, rheumatoid, and post-traumatic arthritis of the hip and knee, a high volume of revision hip and knee arthroplasty, as well as the treatment of young adult hip disorders with re-surfacing, osteotomies, and arthroscopy.

The surgical schedule averages approximately 40 major procedures weekly. The emphasis of the fellowship is on revision hip and knee arthroplasty, which comprises of about 30% of the clinical exposure. Fellows will be trained hands-on in the management of significant bone defects, infected arthroplasty, as well as complex periprosthetic fractures.

The fellows are responsible for preparing and leading a weekly templating conference. It is expected that the fellows undertake at least one major clinical research project during the year to be prepared for presentation at a national meeting and subsequent publication. The fellowship comprises a vast opportunity for orthopaedic research including long-term clinical outcome and database studies, initiation of randomized trials, use of advanced imaging modalities for wear measurements and component migration, biomechanical and retrieval studies, hip and knee simulator studies, as well as RSA (radiostereometric analysis).

This fellowship is open to all graduates of Canadian orthopaedic programmes and any outside institutions which meet our criteria for training. Although the adult reconstruction fellowship is suitable for all orthopaedic surgeons interested in hip and knee arthroplasty, there is a particular value for those who are interested in an academic career.
