The one-year Orthopaedic Surgery Fellowship at
UNC is an exciting and dynamic training program involving the treatment
of complex orthopaedic problems, from trauma, total joint arthroplasty,
sports medicine, hand, and foot and ankle disorders in adults and kids.
There are numerous research opportunities in the acute and
reconstructive surgery of the orthopaedic patient. In addition to these
opportunities, fellows will be able to observe the treatment of
patients with a variety of orthopaedic disorders, including primary and
revision fracture repair, the treatment of non-unions, ankle
replacements and fusions, complex total joint arthroplasty, foot and
hand reconstructions, and bunion surgery. Furthermore, fellows will
observe all aspects of orthopedic care via a clinic environment,
detailed physical therapy involvement, and orthotic care.
This is a one-year fellowship position at the PGY-2 level, beginning July 1st 2008 and ending June 30th 2009. Fellows will participate in clinical research projects in pediatric orthopedic surgery.
The
Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) Orthopaedics Medical Student
Clinical Research Award offers an extraordinary medical student the
opportunity to dedicate a year to complete clinical research projects
at CHOP. This
opportunity is a "year out" experience; i.e. the successful applicant
will dedicate a year to clinical research with CHOP orthopaedic
surgeons before either the third or fourth year of medical school. Because
of the extreme competitiveness of the orthopaedic residency application
process, this funded year of clinical research and interaction with the
CHOP orthopaedics world- renowned faculty is a much sought after
opportunity amongst medical students who want to pursue a career in
orthopaedic surgery. The Division of Orthopaedic Surgery at CHOP was ranked the best in the nation for orthopaedic care by Child magazine's 2006 survey and has been ranked as the nation's finest in a survey of pediatric hospitals by U.S. News & World Report.
The magazine's 2007 guide to "America's Best Children's Hospitals"
ranked CHOP as the best hospital for children in the United States for
the fifth consecutive year.
Increased security at U.S. airports has increased the
probability of orthopaedic implants being detected by metal detectors. A study
published in the April 2007 issue of the Journal
of Bone and Joint Surgery (JBJS)
examined 129 volunteers with a total of 149 implants to determine which devices
are most likely to trigger detectors.
I was recently testing the services of www.blip.tv. It is painless to upload a video and then insert it into your website like the image above. Once the video is uploaded, you are provided with a segment of code you simply place in the html. Pretty simple. The video above is a part of our new Patient Guide to Whiplash over on eOrthopod.
