As leaders in orthopaedic treatment, we are committed to developing improved ways of managing orthopaedic medicine. The Wakefield Orthopaedic Clinic Research Foundation provides funding to support an active research program, while the Clinic's Fellowship Program has made significant contributions to the improvement of orthopaedic surgical procedures and techniques.

To learn more about the Clinic's research and study commitments please follow the links below.

Research Foundation

In 1995, the Wakefield Orthopaedic Clinic established its own Research Foundation to advance the development of orthopaedic medicine. This foundation provides funding to support research and development of improved ways of managing orthopaedic injuries. The important part of the Foundation's role is to oversee the regular review of knee, hip and shoulder joint replacements which are followed carefully on a long term basis to ensure that the best prostheses are used and that any problems can be identified early.

The fund is supported by the Clinic members and members of the public through donations and importantly from companies that manufacture the actual joint replacements who are committed to quality assurance of their products.

Through an active Fellowship and Research Program, the clinic has made significant contributions to the improvement of orthopaedic surgical procedures and techniques. In addition, the results of various research projects undertaken by visiting overseas Fellows have been published in medical journals worldwide.

Disclosure

The Wakefield Orthopaedic Clinic and the Wakefield Orthopaedic Foundation receives funding from implant companies and other service providers to assist in research, education and development. This supports high-quality patient care for the community.

Research Publishing

Our team of specialists have helped lead innovation and patient care in orthopaedics for many years. Our combined contributions to the field of orthopaedic research are listed below.

Research Trials

There are a number of International and local research trials that are ongoing in both upper and lower limb research and each surgeon can provide information on these trials and invite patients to participate if they wish to be part of a research study.

All trials have received approval from the Calvary Health Care Ethics Committee Adelaide.

Current trials can be viewed on the following websites:

Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry (ANZCTR)

International Clinical Trials Registry Platform
