Training Department:Joint Reconstruction Center
The Joint Reconstruction Surgery Training Program is a one-year fellowship provided by the Joint Reconstruction Center of CMUH. As the largest referral center in Taiwan, averaging over 8,000 outpatient consultations and 550 surgeries per month, the center performs thousands of joint replacement procedures per year. In the past 3 years, over 300 joint replacements have been robot-assisted (MAKOplasty) procedures. The fellow has the opportunity to participate in several types of joint replacement surgeries, including robot-assisted, navigation-assisted, 3D printing-assisted, minimally invasive primary total joint replacement, complex resection arthroplasty and tumor resection-associated joint reconstruction. Numerous clinical and basic arthroplasty-related research projects and conferences are provided by the center. By the end of fellowship training, the candidate will have learned up-to-date joint reconstruction surgical skills, technologies and knowledge, well on the way to becoming a competent joint reconstruction surgeon.
