Combined Adult Reconstruction/Trauma (CAR/T) Fellowship
Program Overview
Our traumaplasty program was developed in 2013 in addition to our existing North Star Orthopaedic Trauma Fellowship. The Combined Adult Reconstruction & Trauma Fellowship experience is a 12 month unique training in both the operative and clinical management of adult reconstruction combined with orthopaedic trauma. The program places an emphasis on all aspects of adult reconstruction surgery including primary and revision joint replacement, post-traumatic hip and knee reconstruction as well as simple and complex orthopaedic trauma including periprosthetic fractures.

The Fellow will participate in 2 rotations during the fellowship year spending a total of 6 months per rotation. The rotations will alternate every three months and will include Regions Hospital in St. Paul, Lakeview Hospital in Stillwater, TRIA Orthopedics in Woodbury, Abbott Northwestern Hospital in Minneapolis and United Hospital in St. Paul.

Pre-requisite resident education requires the completion of a North American certified orthopaedic residency and a Minnesota licensure.
