Knee surgeon

There is no particular qualification in knee surgery itself. Most surgeons specialising in knee surgery are qualified in general orthopaedic surgery, and have gravitiated towards specialising in knees.

In a superspeciality like this, it is highly regarded to do a ‘fellowship’ of one or two years with a mentor or orthopaedic unit specialising in knee surgery. Fellows often travel to other parts of the world to join a specialist unit like that.
