Arthroplasty Fellowship

The Soundarapandian Arthroplasty Fellowship Program

The Arthroplasty Fellowship Program at Soundarapandian Bone and Joint Hospital is a one-year, intensive program focused on joint replacement surgeries. This fellowship offers orthopaedic surgeons advanced training in hip and knee arthroplasty, including complex primary and revision joint replacement procedures. This Fellowship program is affiliated with the MGR University accreditation program.

Program Highlights

Comprehensive Arthroplasty Training

Fellows will gain experience in both primary and revision joint replacement surgeries of the hip, knee, and occasionally, shoulder. The program covers a wide spectrum of arthroplasty cases, from routine procedures to complex reconstructions.

Advanced Surgical Techniques

Dr.Sivamurugan, a leader in the field of Arthroscopy, has pioneered the PERFIT-R systems at Soundarapandian. This is a personalised form of Total Knee replacement which is unique to each patient using their own CT scan images. Fellows will learn this modern technique in joint replacement surgery, including minimally invasive approaches, computer-assisted surgeries, and the use of custom prosthetics.

Patient Management

The fellowship emphasises a holistic approach to patient care, from preoperative planning and prosthesis selection to postoperative rehabilitation and long-term follow-up.

Supervised Surgical Practice

Fellows will work under the direct supervision of senior arthroplasty consultants, participating in high-volume surgical cases and gaining hands-on experience.

Involvement in Revision Surgeries

Special focus is placed on revision arthroplasty cases, giving fellows the opportunity to manage complications such as prosthetic loosening, infection, and joint instability.

Academic and Research Activities

The program includes regular academic sessions, case presentations, and participation in arthroplasty-specific conferences and meetings. Fellows will also be encouraged to engage in clinical research related to joint replacement outcomes and innovations.

Learning Objectives

  • Master the techniques of primary and revision hip and knee replacement surgeries.
  • Develop expertise in prosthesis selection and surgical planning.
  • Gain skills in managing postoperative complications and complex revision cases.
  • Enhance knowledge in preoperative and postoperative patient management, including rehabilitation.

Eligibility

  • MS (Ortho) / DNB (Ortho)

Number of Fellowship Seats:
