Primary arthroplasty and revision surgery for failed implants account for the majority of all surgical cases. The Foot and Ankle Fellow plays an integral role in both patient care and resident education. Two clinics are held weekly, and conferences are integrated into the weekly reconstructive surgery service conference. Additionally, the Foot and Ankle Fellow is actively involved in the planning and proceedings of operative cases and is required to complete a publishable research project. Three The Emanuel Kaplan Hand Fellowship is a diverse experience devoted to the treatment of disorders of the hand, wrist, and elbow.
Fellows help run two clinics and weekly conferences.
The experience includes office management and operative intervention of such disorders as compressive neuropathies, trauma, arthritis, tendinitis, rheumatoid deformity, and small joint reconstruction. The Fellows are involved in ongoing clinical research and investigation. The Fellow on the Pediatric Orthopaedic Service is actively involved in the service's daily proceedings, both in the care of patients in clinic and the operating rooms and in resident education. The diversity of cases, which include children's orthopaedics and neuromuscular diseases, offers an extremely well-rounded experience. A publishable manuscript is required.
