Hip and Knee Fellowships Worldwide

A knee fellowship can focus on joint replacement and revision surgery, preservation, or sports and ligament surgery. This hip and knee directory covers the host-defined hip and knee pathways; knee arthroscopy and sports-focused training may instead sit within Sports Medicine. Confirm the named curriculum rather than assuming every knee programme covers all of these procedures.

In the United States, adult reconstruction (hip and knee arthroplasty) fellowships are usually one year and recruit through the AAHKS fellowship match on SF Match.

Elsewhere, arthroplasty and lower limb fellowships are offered by hospitals and recognised through bodies such as the British Hip Society and BASK (UK), the AOA (Australia) and AO Recon, including posts open to international surgeons. Each OrthoFellow profile records the published eligibility, registration and visa requirements for that programme.

On OrthoFellow the countries with the most listed hip and knee pathways are United States (119), United Kingdom (55), Australia (51), India (50), Canada (22). Counts are canonical pathways in the directory, not vacancies; confirm availability with each host.

This directory separates clinical fellowships, research fellowships and observerships. The unfiltered Hip & Knee page currently contains 418 canonical pathways; network host centres remain inside their parent pathway.

No. Clinical participation depends on the published role, registration, credentialing, supervision and host policy. Treat exposure as observational when the official source does not confirm operative participation.

Check the status, deadline and verification date on the OrthoFellow profile, then reopen the official programme source. A historical or recurring programme is not treated as actively recruiting without current evidence.
