Not published on the cited profile
John Trantalis is listed in the cited programme evidence as fellowship supervisor / program leadership for Sydney Fellowship in Advanced Upper Limb Surgery. The verified individual profile describes a focus in Arthroscopic and reconstructive shoulder and elbow surgery. This association does not by itself confirm personal supervision, operative privileges or availability for a future intake.
Dr Trantalis graduated from UNSW with honours in 1996, completed Australian orthopaedic training and then undertook 18 months of international shoulder-and-elbow fellowship training. His official profile records public-hospital practice at Concord and university clinical-teaching appointments.
Names and fellowship roles come from the cited programme source. A green “individual profile verified” label means the position, qualifications and biography were also checked against an official personal or institutional profile. OrthoFellow displays a portrait only when it can be tied to an official profile or faculty source; otherwise the host institution brandmark is shown, with initials retained only when neither image is available. Faculty rosters may change.
