Waverley Private Hospital would like to introduce Mr Cam Fary, a Melbourne based orthopaedic surgeon who sub-specialises in hip and knee arthroscopy, sports surgery and joint replacement.
Cam completed his general orthopaedic training in Melbourne in 2009. He then spent two years in Lyon, France and Oxford, UK sub-specialising in hip and knee joint surgery. Returning to Australia in 2011 he completed further training in hip arthroscopy and anterior hip replacement under Mr John O’Donnell.
Cam has a keen interest in the latest medical technologies and clinical research. In the ten years since completing his training, he has observed rapid and significant changes in hip and knee surgery; including the emergence of new technologies that assist both the surgeon and patient to achieve the best outcomes. To keep abreast of these changes, he is undertaking a PhD at the University of Melbourne to assess these advances and how they may optimise patient outcomes. His research focusses on robotic surgery, sensor assisted joint replacement, continuous biometric monitoring and pre-rehabilitation programs to better prepare patients for surgery.
Cam has presented and published both locally and internationally. He is a member of the Australian Institute for Musculoskeletal Science, ISHA, ISAKOS and the Girdlestone Society. He is a collaborator with The University of Melbourne’s Bio21 Molecular Science and Biotechnology Institute, St Vincent’s Institute, Centre Albert Trillat, Lyon and Botnar Research Centre, University of Oxford researching treatments for osteoarthritis. He is a reviewer for the British Medical Journal and the Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research Journal.
He enjoys teaching and oversees Fellows’ subspecialty training programs in both the Public and Private Hospitals. He lectures and examines University of Melbourne and Monash University medical students.
Cam is a member of the reference group that advises Health Purchase Victoria who manage the cost of Orthopaedic implants and devices in the Public Hospital system.
