Sobre el programa
Our fellowship is divided in four areas: research, clinical practice, surgical procedures and teaching. Fellows conduct clinical and basic science research projects in the Baylor Motion and Sports Performance Laboratory.
Fellows participate in all aspects of clinical care of patients with foot and ankle diseases and disorders. This provides valuable experience over the course of the fellowship because fellows have the opportunity to follow patients from their outpatient visits all the way through surgery.
Clinical training is provided in all aspects of foot and ankle surgery, with particular emphasis on the following:
- Lower extremity (knee, ankle and foot) sports medicine injuries
- Achilles tears and disorders
- Bunions and toe deformities
- Ankle and knee articular cartilage injuries
- Post-traumatic foot and ankle deformities
- Foot and ankle arthritis
- Diabetic foot disorders
- Our fellowship is extremely active with multiple opportunities for surgical experience. Fellows participate in operative and non-operative aspects of all adult foot and ankle care.
In addition, fellows gain experience correcting foot and ankle disorders from systemic diseases such as diabetes, neurological disorders and rheumatoid arthritis, as well as trauma and reconstructive procedures. They are trained in complex procedures and treatments beyond the practice of most general orthopedic surgeons.
