Dr Kieran Hirpara — fellowship-trained shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand surgeon at Mater Private Hospital Rockhampton
Talambuhay

Dr Kieran Hirpara ay isang Espesyalistang Orthopaedic Surgeon na may clinical focus sa balikat, siko, galang-galangan at kamay, at may mga subspecialty fellowship sa shoulder surgery at hand surgery. Nagtapos siya ng medisina sa University of Galway noong 2002, naging Member of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh noong 2006, at ginawaran ng research MD ng University of Galway noong 2011. Kinumpleto niya ang higher orthopaedic training sa pamamagitan ng iskema ng Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland sa pagitan ng 2008 at 2014 — anim na taóng dumaan sa Mayo, Waterford, Cappagh, Crumlin, Beaumont, ang Mater Misericordiae University Hospital sa Dublin at ang Galway University Hospitals — na nagtapos sa TIG Advanced Training Post in Hand Surgery (isang orthoplastic hand fellowship) sa Wythenshawe at Salford, sa Manchester, sa ilalim nina Prof V Lees, Mr Z Naqui at Mr L Muir. Nahalal siyang Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons (Trauma & Orthopaedics) noong 2012.

Sumunod ang dalawa pang shoulder fellowship sa Brisbane. Ang una — labindalawang buwan sa Brisbane Hand & Upper Limb Clinic bilang unang shoulder fellow ni Ass. Prof Cutbush, kasama sina Prof Ross at Dr Duke bilang co-supervisors — na sumasaklaw sa shoulder replacement, arthroscopy at instability surgery, kasabay ng microvascular on-call. Ang ikalawa ay isang sports shoulder fellowship sa St Andrew's War Memorial at The Prince Charles Hospitals, kasama sina Drs MacGroarty at Rimmington.

Tinanggap niya ang kanyang pampublikong appointment bilang Orthopaedic Surgeon sa Rockhampton Base Hospital noong 2016, nahalal na Fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons noong 2020, at nang taon ding iyon itinatag ang CQ Hand + Upper Limb sa Mater Private Hospital Rockhampton — kung saan nag-aalok siya ngayon ng masalimuot na shoulder, elbow, wrist at hand surgery sa mga pasyente mula sa buong Central Queensland.

Nakasentro ang kanyang research output sa biomechanics ng flexor tendon repair, kabilang ang ex-vivo barbed-device na gawaing inilathala sa Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery. Ang kanyang dalawampu't limang peer-reviewed na artikulo at isang 2015 Springer chapter tungkol sa shoulder anatomy ay sumasaklaw sa hand, wrist at shoulder surgery, na may patuloy na interes sa tendon-repair biomechanics, distal radius outcomes at arthroscopic shoulder reconstruction. Nagre-review siya para sa Frontiers in Orthopaedic Surgery (Frontiers Media / Nature) mula 2014.

Bukod sa Royal Australasian College of Surgeons at Australian Orthopaedic Association, si Dr Hirpara ay miyembro ng mga subspecialty peer society sa Australia at United Kingdom — tingnan ang mga propesyonal na membership para sa mga kolehiyo at samahang nangangasiwa sa praktis pagkatapos makumpleto ang training, at kung ano ang hinihingi ng bawat isa sa mga miyembro nito.

Tendon mechanics,
shoulder at hand outcomes

Ang MD thesis ni Dr Hirpara, A Barbed Device for Tendon Repair, ay nagdisenyo at nag-ex-vivo test ng isang bagong device para sa flexor tendon repair sa zone II — inilathala ang gawaing ito sa Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery.
