Orthopaedic Trauma Fellowship Program
This one-year fellowship program is at a busy urban ~900 bed Level 1 Trauma Center. The fellowship offers a comprehensive approach to the diagnosis, treatment and post- operative rehabilitation of adult orthopaedic trauma at this institution. The fellow will be exposed to and participate in all aspects of trauma surgery including complex acetabular and pelvic fracture surgery, complex periarticular fracture fixation, post- traumatic reconstruction as well as advanced techniques in extremity trauma.

Goals and Objectives
The goals and objectives of the Orthopaedic Trauma Fellowship Program are:
Advance the orthopaedic surgeon’s understanding of the treatment of severely injured polytraumatized patients
Understand the multidisciplinary care of polytrauma patients.
Assess the impact of the patient’s injury on their health and well-being in the critical care setting as well as postoperatively.
Understanding the timing of definitive versus damage control fixation of orthopaedic injuries
The fellow will advance their psychomotor skill set through their surgical exposure to complicated fracture non-unions, articular fractures of the upper and lower extremity as well as management of significant pelvic ring disruptions and acetabular fractures.
Recognize the importance of post-operative follow-up, management of complications, and patient outcomes.
Gain independence in the care of all orthopaedic fractures and the ability to develop treatment plans and postoperative care instructions.
