Made possible by a generous grant from Nicolaas C. Budhiparama & Inge Widjaja Nicolaas Institute of Constructive Orthopaedic Research & Education Foundation for Arthroplasty & Sports Medicine
Established in 2019, the Fellowship provides an opportunity for young orthopaedic surgeons, currently working in developing countries, to travel to various medical sites around the world to learn more about Knee Arthroplasty and to be exposed to the techniques of well-respected expert surgeons. At each site, the fellow will participate in knee arthroplasty surgical procedures, patient management or cadaver dissections in order to broaden their knowledge of the procedure. The goal is for the surgeons to disseminate the knowledge learned to contemporaries in the region where he/she practices, and ultimately, benefit patients. Knee Arthroplasty Fellowships are available every other year to young orthopaedic surgeons interested in the study and advancement of Knee Arthroplasty. The dual purpose of the fellowship is to improve knee arthroplasty in developing nations and to promote better understanding and communication amongst knee surgeons around the world.
