Goals and Characteristics

This fellowship is designed to offer an extensive clinical and research experience in ligament reconstruction of the knee, shoulder, and elbow. This is an active and exciting clinical experience, achieved through a wide spectrum of operative cases.

Over 550 surgeries are performed, including advanced arthroscopic and revision arthroplasty techniques. Advanced knee and shoulder procedures include cartilage regeneration, meniscal allografts, reconstruction of the PCL, and arthroscopic instability and rotor cuff repairs. The Fellow also participates in medical coverage for college and high school team sporting events, augmenting his/her experience with on-the-field evaluation and treatment.

All year access to a six station wet/dry BioSkills laboratory is available for hands on research and teaching. It is expected that the Fellow will complete one clinical or basic science research project that can be presented at a national meeting and/or published. Many research opportunities are available and participation is ongoing.

Applicants must have completed an approved orthopaedic residency program and be eligible for licensure in New York and Connecticut. An interested applicant should submit his/her curriculum vitae, current photo, and three letters of recommendation. Interviews are conducted in November.
