About Hospital for Special Surgery
Hospital for Special Surgery’s
International Learning and
Training Center conducted a
four-day program on knee and
shoulder replacement and current
concepts in sports medicine for 16
physicians from Greece in April
2011. Led by Dr. Douglas Padgett,
Chief of the Adult Reconstruction
and Joint Replacement Service,
and Dr. Frank Cordasco, associate
attending orthopaedic surgeon, the
seminar – funded by the Stavros
Niarchos Foundation – included
observation in the OR and in the
Hospital’s Bioskills Education
Laboratory.
Founded in 1863, Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) is a world leader in
orthopaedics, rheumatology and rehabilitation. HSS is nationally ranked
No. 1 in orthopaedics, No. 3 in rheumatology, No. 10 in neurology, and No. 5
in geriatrics by U.S.News & World Report (2012-13), and is the first hospital
in New York State to receive Magnet Recognition for Excellence in Nursing
Service from the American Nurses Credentialing Center three consecutive
times. HSS has one of the lowest infection rates in the country. From 2007
to 2011, HSS has been a recipient of the HealthGrades Joint Replacement
Excellence Award. HSS is a member of the NewYork-Presbyterian
Healthcare System and an affiliate of Weill Cornell Medical College and
as such all Hospital for Special Surgery medical staff are faculty of Weill
Cornell. The hospital’s research division is internationally recognized as a
leader in the investigation of musculoskeletal and autoimmune diseases.

a message from the surgeon-in-chief
Thomas P. Sculco, MD
In 2011-2012, the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery realized
significant achievements on a number of fronts. Indeed, the reach of the
Department’s expertise has expanded to the far corners of the world,
drawing on the clinical, academic, and scientific initiatives developed by
our Service chiefs and their teams.
A Priority on Patient Care
Over the past four years, the Hospital’s patient volume has grown more
than 36 percent and, in 2011, our orthopaedic surgeons performed
nearly 26,000 surgical procedures, including more than 4,100 hip
surgeries and 3,900 knee replacements. For the third year in a row, HSS
was the only hospital in New York with an infection rate significantly
lower than the state average for hip replacement or revision surgeries,
according to the 2010 report released in September 2011 by the New
York State Department of Health. Outpatient visits exceeded 218,000.
To accommodate the Hospital’s burgeoning growth, we recruited new
surgeons in arthroplasty, foot and ankle, orthopaedic trauma, pediatrics,
and spine, bringing the total orthopaedic surgeon faculty complement
to 103. In addition, the Department includes six primary care sports
medicine physicians.
The extraordinary skill of our nursing staff contributes to the
outstanding outcomes of our patients. In 2011, HSS became the first hospital in New
York State to achieve its third consecutive designation as a Magnet hospital – the
gold standard for nursing excellence – by the American Nurses Credentialing
Center. The Hospital has maintained Magnet status since 2002. Each redesignation
is regarded to be much more difficult to achieve than the last, making this a truly
exceptional accomplishment – one that speaks to the Hospital’s continual efforts to
improve patient care.

Our patient satisfaction scores continue to validate our efforts to provide expert care
with heightened attention to quality and safety. Over the last four years, inpatient
satisfaction scores on “likelihood to recommend” to others have been in the 99th
percentile compared to other Magnet hospitals in the national Press Ganey database.
We are extremely proud of this distinction.
To optimize the management of surgical patients whose comorbidities may increase
their operative risk, the Hospital has established a new Perioperative Medicine
Division under the direction of Linda A. Russell, MD, a rheumatologist at HSS since
1994. Building on a longstanding protocol of providing preoperative evaluations on
site of patients undergoing orthopaedic surgery in order to facilitate the best possible
surgical outcomes, Dr. Russell and her colleagues are establishing guidelines for
perioperative care, including those related to patients with diabetes and cardiac
issues. The priorities of the Division include improving communication among
key services involved in the treatment of surgical patients and addressing quality,
safety, and continuity of care issues – from preoperative medical assessments to
postoperative follow-up.
Keeping pace with the growing demand for our services requires a continual focus
on the Hospital’s physical plant. In September 2011, we opened three new patient
floors and two new inpatient operating rooms.
2 | Department of Orthopaedic Surgery
Our surgeons perform 2,500 orthopaedic surgeries for children and adolescents
per year, and last year, young patients made nearly 18,000 visits to HSS pediatric
rehabilitation therapists. In fall 2011, HSS celebrated the opening of its 7,000-squarefoot, state-of-the-art CA Technologies Rehabilitation Center, improving access to
pediatric rehabilitation services for surgical patients and children in the community.
The new Center, which is double the size of the former facility and will accommodate
more than 30,000 patient visits annually, is the first stage of the new Alfred and Norma
Lerner Children’s Pavilion, a hospital-within-a-hospital that will open later this year.
Steven R. Goldring, MD, is named
the first Richard L. Menschel
Research Chair.
2011 also marked Special Surgery’s first expansion beyond the New York area with
the establishment of HSS Spine & Sport located in Jupiter, Florida. This center, which
brings the same high level of rehabilitation services and patient care available at the
Hospital to South Florida, was a direct response to demand by patients and physicians.
Specializing in nonoperative and postsurgical care, HSS Spine & Sport encompasses
professionals in the fields of spine, orthopaedics, sports rehabilitation, massage therapy,
and performance training.
Scientific Significance
The Hospital’s Research Division, under Steven R. Goldring, MD, has flourished. Its
current research portfolio totals $21 million, including $15.4 million in federal funding.
I am pleased to report that Dr. Goldring was named the first Richard L. Menschel
Research Chair at the Hospital. This chair, which was established by a $5 million
gift from an anonymous donor, honors Mr. Menschel, Chairman Emeritus of HSS.
Mr. Menschel has been a vital proponent of the Hospital’s focus on research, and the
gift permanently endows the position of the Hospital’s Chief Scientific Officer. A
strong advocate of the physician-scientist, Dr. Goldring has led HSS into a new era of
clinical and translational research. In addition to the recruitment of talented scientists
in the areas of arthritis and tissue degeneration, autoimmunity and inflammation,
musculoskeletal integrity, and tissue engineering, regeneration and repair, Dr. Goldring
has established major research objectives focused on translating basic research into
new therapies for people with mobility disorders. He is also expanding the Hospital’s
clinical patient registries. To date, the Hospital maintains 43 active registries with an
enrollment of some 84,000 patients. Outcomes data from these registries will allow our
scientists and physicians to better understand musculoskeletal diseases and conditions
and ultimately help improve the standard of care.
HSS opened its first office outside
of the New York region in Jupiter,
Florida – HSS Spine & Sport –
which offers rehabilitative care to
patients residing in South Florida.
More than 350 clinicians, clinical investigators, and basic scientists across the
Department of Orthopaedics, the Division of Rheumatology, and the Research Division
at HSS are addressing osteoarthritis (OA) on some level. The Hospital’s Osteoarthritis
Initiative – a multidisciplinary effort that aims to achieve advances in understanding,
preventing, diagnosing, and treating OA through collaboration among specialties
– is well underway. In 2011, HSS hosted an international summit – Frontiers in OA
Research, Prevention, and Care – led by Dr. Goldring and Timothy M. Wright, PhD,
Director, Department of Biomechanics. The summit drew a multidisciplinary group of
scientific leaders from around the world who shared current research, opportunities
for future investigations, the newest diagnostic tools and treatment, public health
strategies, and information on prevention. Topics ranged from cell and molecular
biology studies, to biomechanics, epidemiology research, and clinical trials. Among
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery | 3
the recommendations of the Summit’s participants is a proposal to develop a
classification tree that identifies OA as spontaneous or induced, and further classifies
the disease based on symptoms, associated bone structural abnormalities, cartilage
and related joint tissue abnormalities, and stage of disease progression.
The Hospital recently created an Integrated Osteoarthritis Diagnostic, Treatment,
and Research Program – funded in part by a major gift from the Starr Foundation
– to advance investigations leading to a greater understanding of this multifactorial
disease and to pilot a comprehensive clinical care program that provides integrated,
evidence-based surgical and nonoperative care.
The family of the late Mary and Fred Trump provided generous funding to establish
the Mary and Fred Trump Institute for Implant Analysis at Hospital for Special
Surgery. The new Institute invigorates the science of joint reconstruction and enables
us to accelerate patient-oriented research to enhance the mobility and quality of life
for countless current and future joint replacement patients.
Hospital for Special Surgery, in a coalition with Weill Cornell Medical College,
University of Massachusetts Medical School, and Mathematica Policy Research, has
received the distinguished Team Science Award from the Association for Clinical
Research Training, American Federation for Medical Research, Association for
Patient Oriented Research, and Society for Clinical and Translational Science. The
award recognizes the team’s research in perioperative epidemiology, including the
incidence, risk factors, trends of morbidity and mortality, and outcomes associated
with different orthopaedic surgical approaches and anesthetic techniques.
In the Mary and Fred Trump Institute
for Implant Analysis, Timothy M.
Wright, PhD, and his colleagues
evaluate retrieved implants to help
establish the mechanical performance
of new implant designs and to
determine the influence of patient
characteristics and surgical
variations.
Educational Endeavors
In 2011, HSS received more than 600 residency applications, the most in the
Hospital’s history. From this highly competitive group, we select just eight residents.
The class of 2016 represents such prestigious medical schools as Harvard Medical
School, Washington University School of Medicine, Weill Cornell Medical College,
and University of Virginia. Our orthopaedic fellowship program is currently training
40 fellows in all our subspecialties. We also have international clinical fellows from
countries including Greece, Germany, and China.
This year, the Hospital created a House Staff Quality Council, a resident- and
fellow-led initiative to look at ways to improve care at HSS. In addition, it was an
active year for research with the awarding of five grants to our residents and resident
research presentations at seven national professional forums. We are also pleased
that one of our residents was appointed to the ACGME Residency Review Committee
for Orthopaedic Surgery.
Our residents and fellows benefit from an environment that offers advanced surgical
technology and a number of specialized training resources. One such example is the
Hospital’s Bioskills Education Laboratory, which now offers a surgical simulation
program to augment the curriculum for PGY-1 and PGY-2 residents. For the third
consecutive year, our female orthopaedic surgeons and residents participated in the
Perry Initiative, a mentoring program that encourages young high school women to
explore the field of orthopaedic surgery and engineering.
All of our orthopaedic surgeons are on the faculty of our esteemed affiliate, Weill
Cornell Medical College, and we continue to foster close academic and scientific
partnerships. In December 2011, Antonio M. Gotto, Jr., MD, DPhil, stepped down
as Dean and now serves as Co-Chairman of the Board of Overseers for the Medical
College. On January 1, 2012, Laurie H. Glimcher, MD, one of the nation’s leading
physician-scientists, succeeded Dr. Gotto as the Stephen and Suzanne Weiss Dean of
Weill Cornell. Dr. Glimcher previously served as a Professor of Medicine at Harvard
Medical School and directed one of the top immunology programs in the world.
She is the daughter of Melvin Glimcher, an emeritus member of the HSS Board of
Trustees.

of Weill Cornell Medical College
New and Noteworthy
Jo A. Hannafin, MD, PhD, has been named to the Presidential line of the American
Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine. Dr. Hannafin will be the first woman to be
honored as President of this influential society and joins Russell F. Warren, MD, and
Thomas L. Wickiewicz, MD, who are Past Presidents. Chitranjan S. Ranawat, MD,
has been named President-Elect of The Hip Society.
Laura Robbins, DSW, Senior Vice President of Education and Academic Affairs
and Associate Scientist at HSS, was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award
by the Association of Rheumatology Health Professionals (ARHP), a division of
the American College of Rheumatology. The award, which is ARHP’s highest
honor, recognizes Dr. Robbins for a career demonstrating a sustained and lasting
contribution to the field of rheumatology and rheumatology health professionals.
Joseph A. Feinberg, MD, an accomplished physiatrist and electrophysiologist, was
named Chief of the Hospital’s Department of Physiatry, a key collaborator with our
department in the nonoperative care of the orthopaedic patient. Dr. Feinberg, who
is also Co-Medical Director of the Center for Brachial Plexus and Traumatic Nerve
Injury, most recently served as Director of the EMG Laboratory at HSS.
Influencing Orthopaedics Here and Abroad
In 2012, U.S.News & World Report again named Hospital for Special Surgery the
No. 1 hospital in the country for orthopaedics in its 2012-13 “Best Hospitals”
issue. We will continue our commitment to sharing the Hospital’s expertise
in musculoskeletal health – whether here or abroad – to improve the lives of
patients, advance the skills of physicians, and develop domestic and international
collaborations that will serve as a conduit of best practices and outstanding
outcomes the world over. As we make plans to celebrate the Hospital’s 150th
anniversary in 2013, we are committed to building on our success, advancing
cutting-edge research, and developing innovative approaches to diagnosis and
treatment – all of which reinforces our standing as a global leader in the field.
Jo A. Hannafin, MD, PhD, will
assume the presidency of the
American Orthopaedic Society
for Sports Medicine – the first
woman to receive this honor.
Today, with links to countries in nearly every continent, the Department of
Orthopaedic Surgery pursues partnerships that span clinical practice, educational
programs, and research initiatives. On the pages that follow, you will learn about a
number of our current endeavors that illustrate the Hospital’s ever-expanding role in
orthopaedics worldwide.
Making a world of difference
When Thomas P. Sculco, MD, Surgeon-in-Chief, completed his orthopaedic residency
training at Hospital for Special Surgery, he traveled throughout Europe for a year,
studying the management of rheumatoid arthritis and reconstructive joint surgery in
Finland, England, Switzerland, Germany, and Italy. “Looking at medicine from a global
perspective is very important in a surgeon’s training,” says Dr. Sculco. “The experience
exposes you to different treatment approaches, and you take the best of what you learn
and incorporate that into your own clinical care and teaching.”
Dr. Sculco’s post-residency sojourn continues to inform his world view as leader of the
number 1 ranked orthopaedic hospital in America. The Department of Orthopaedic
Surgery at HSS is committed to globally sharing its expertise in musculoskeletal health.
With links to countries in nearly every continent, the Department pursues partnerships
and collaborations that span educational endeavors, clinical practice, and research
initiatives.
“The reach of HSS is continually expanding, and today the Hospital has a significant
presence in Europe, South America, and China, with new international collaborations
and relationships under development,” says Dr. Sculco. “Part of our mission is to take
the best practices in patient care that we have developed here and disseminate this
information to centers throughout the world. We also feel it is our responsibility to
educate physicians from overseas who can go back to their countries to lead or develop
programs in orthopaedics.”
Engaging in International Collaborations
Six years after its founding by Dr. Sculco, the International Society of Orthopaedic
Centers (ISOC) has become a driving force in the effort to improve orthopaedic care on
a global scale. This coalition of the major orthopaedic specialty hospitals
in the world encompasses a multifacted mission: to promote scientific,
clinical, and educational collaborations; to improve the quality of patient
care through sharing of clinical pathways and treatments; to enhance
academic programs; and to share operational measures to help sustain
major orthopaedic programs.
Participants gather for the 2011 ISOC meeting
held at Clinica Alemana in Chile. “Today ISOC
has 17 centers on four continents,” says Dr.
Thomas Sculco. “Every 18 months we come
together in a host country to share our common
experiences and bring our expertise to bear on
issues facing the field.”
Since its inaugural meeting of orthopaedic leaders held in New York in
2007, ISOC has expanded its purview to engage chief executive officers
in the dialogue. According to Dr. Sculco, as the Society’s agendas have
developed over the years, it became clear that many of the goals of the
clinicians intersected with those of hospital leadership. At the 2010
meeting in Bologna, Italy, CEOs from member centers joined their
physician colleagues to explore solutions to administrative challenges
related to patient care, volume growth, and costs.
In 2011, ISOC established an annual six-month travelling fellowship program, naming
Saseendar Shanmugasundaram, MD, a trauma fellow and junior consultant in the
Department of Orthopaedics at Medical Trust Hospital in Kerala, India, as its first
recipient. Dr. Shanmugasundaram spent the first two months of his fellowship at HSS,
shadowing Mathias P. Bostrom, MD, Director of the Orthopaedic Surgery Residency
Program. “I received good experience in total hip and total knee replacement and
revision arthroplasty,” says Dr. Shanmugasundaram. “Accompanying Dr. Bostrom at
outpatient clinics and assisting in the operating theater were very useful. With such a
large caseload of arthroplasty patients, I was able to gain much more exposure than
was ever available in my earlier training.” After two months at Special Surgery,
Dr. Shanmugasundaram traveled to Schulthess Klinik in Zurich, completing the
fellowship at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital in Stanmore, Middlesex, U.K.
“It was valuable to work with a number of surgeons in arthroplasty and other
subspecialties of orthopaedics,” adds Dr. Shanmugasundaram. “I was able to observe
different approaches for similar cases, and I studied the latest techniques each center
used in managing difficult cases. It was a unique opportunity – one that could only be
provided by the ISOC fellowship.” Today, Dr. Shanmugasundaram is incorporating his
recent training as an assistant officer in the American College and Hospital operated
by the government of Pondicherry, India, where treatment is free for patients and where
there is a dearth of arthroplasty surgeons.
Nearly 7,000 miles from Special Surgery’s home in New York City, another productive
collaboration has been taking place in Beijing, China, with the Chinese Orthopaedic
Association (COA).
ISOC fellow Dr. Saseendar Shanmugasundaram spent two months at HSS,
under Dr. Mathias Bostrom’s guidance,
with a focused training on joint
replacement surgery.
With a registered membership of more than 30,000 orthopaedic surgeons, the COA is
the largest and most influential orthopaedic society in China. In 2010, HSS surgeons
and bioengineers, along with surgeons from China led by Wang Yan, MD, incoming
President of the COA, held a two-day SINO-HSS Symposium on Total Knee Arthroplasty.
“It was fascinating,” says Timothy M. Wright, PhD, Director of Biomechanics, who
participated in the planning of the program. “Our colleagues in China told us that the
workshop was incredibly enriching because we focused on the indications for knee
replacement, how we do knee replacements at HSS, and design issues to be considered in
choosing a knee replacement.”
The success of this workshop led to an invitation by Dr. Yan to HSS to develop a more
expansive program for the organization’s Sixth International Congress in 2011.
Drs. Sculco, Bostrom, and Wright, with Joseph Lipman, MS, Director, Device
Development, planned and conducted the program, which focused on designs and
techniques for primary and revision total knee replacement. The program drew a
A Grand Opening in Ghana
“Becoming a healer was a dream I grew
up with and giving back was my mission,”
says Oheneba Boachie-Adjei, MD, Chief
of the Scoliosis Service at Hospital for
Special Surgery, and founder and President
of the Foundation of Orthopedics and
Complex Spine (FOCOS). Dr. Boachie
spoke these words at the recent grand
opening ceremony of the new 50-bed
specialty FOCOS Orthopaedic Hospital,
which provides comprehensive orthopaedic
and rehabilitative services for adults and
children in Ghana, Africa. For Dr. Boachie,
who was born in Kumasi, Ghana, and
immigrated to the United States in 1972,
it was a dream come true. “FOCOS’s
mission is to provide affordable
orthopaedic care to those who
would not otherwise have access
to such treatment,” explains
Dr. Boachie. “The patients we treat both
surgically and nonsurgically have disabling
musculoskeletal disorders, including complex
spine deformities and pediatric orthopaedic
problems.”
“As a world leader in musculoskeletal
medicine, HSS is committed to national as
well as international outreach,” says Louis
A. Shapiro, President and Chief Executive
Officer, Hospital for Special Surgery. “We
are proud to have supported Dr. Boachie in
his efforts to make the FOCOS Orthopaedic
Hospital a reality.”
Located on 10 acres in Accra, Ghana,
the FOCOS Orthopaedic Hospital is
accredited to operate both inpatient
and outpatient departments.
standing-room-only audience of some 400. Planning is now underway for a similar
course on hip replacement to be held at the 2012 Congress, and through the efforts
of Dr. Bostrom, HSS is working to further formalize educational relationships
with the establishment of the HSS-China Educational Exchange.
Most recently, the Hospital partnered with Amil Par, a large managed healthcare
organization in Brazil, in advance of the opening of its new orthopaedic center,
Hospitalys, in Rio de Janeiro – the host city for the 2016 Summer Olympics and the
2014 FIFA World Cup. It is a perfect pairing of expertise, especially in the area of
sports medicine. Scott A. Rodeo, MD, Co-Chief of the Sports Medicine and Shoulder
Service, has previously served as team physician for U.S.A. Olympic Swimming in
2004 and 2008, and returned to this position in London for the 2012 Olympic Games.
João Alves Grangeiro, MD, will be the Medical Director for the 2016 Olympics.
Dr. Rodeo will work with Dr. Grangeiro on educational programs for the professional
community who treat Olympic athletes.
This past year, Hospital for Special Surgery hosted an international osteoarthritis
summit to discuss the latest information in diagnosis, treatment, research, and
prevention, bringing together a multidisciplinary group of physicians, scientists,
and industry leaders from the United States, Canada, Europe, and Australia. “Public
health data indicate that the prevalence, impact, and economic consequences of
osteoarthritis are expected to rise dramatically within the next several decades.
Clearly, understanding and preventing this disease is an urgent research challenge,”
says Steven R. Goldring, MD, Chief Scientific Officer at HSS and co-director of the
conference. Drs. Thomas Sculco (top photo),
Timothy Wright (middle photo), and
Mathias Bostrom with Dr. Wang Yan,
President of COA (bottom photo), played
key roles at the 2011 Chinese Orthopaedic
Association annual meeting held in
Beijing. It was the first time that the
COA gathered orthopaedic experts from
around the world to create a Chinacentered platform for international
cooperation.
Orthopaedic surgeons, rheumatologists, scientists, and biomechanical engineers, as
well as representatives of pharmaceutical, device, and insurance industries, were
among the event’s 35 speakers. “Our goal was to develop a consensus document
on future directions for OA research, prevention, and treatment,” says Dr. Wright,
who co-directed the event with Dr. Goldring. “Among the conclusions drawn from
the summit is that the current classification system for osteoarthritis is inadequate.
A classification tree was proposed that identifies osteoarthritis as spontaneous or
induced, and further classifies the disease based on symptoms, associated bone
structural abnormalities, cartilage and related joint tissue abnormalities, and stage of
disease progression.” [Consensus statements and analysis from the summit have been
published in a series of papers in the HSS Journal: The Musculoskeletal Journal of
Hospital for Special Surgery, Volume 8, Issue 1.]
Improving Implants on a Global Scale
In 2011, the Hospital’s Center for Musculoskeletal Outcomes and Patient Oriented
Research was selected by the FDA to facilitate the development of a joint arthroplasty
registry network that would provide data across national and international boundaries.
A key initiative of the Center is the formation of an International Consortium of
Orthopaedic Registries (ICOR). Through HSS leadership, ICOR is creating a registry
network to integrate data from international total joint arthroplasty registers to provide
a worldwide view of orthopaedic patient outcomes and to compare differences among
treatment options. According to Dr. Wright, ICOR complements other international
cooperative efforts to foster networking and communication among those involved in
the many arthroplasty registers throughout the world.
Hospital for Special Surgery’s bioengineers and colleagues in China are collaborating
on the development of a total knee replacement system that addresses anatomical and
functional requirements of the East Asian population. “While there are only slight
variations between Caucasians and Asians in the anatomy of the knee, there are
innovative refinements in a total knee prosthesis that we can recommend to improve
clinical outcomes,” says Dr. Wright.
Harnessing the resources of the International Society of Orthopaedic Centers, HSS is
also spearheading the development of a framework for implant retrieval analysis and
working to establish common terminology for defining and reporting complications,
including infections around joint replacements.
Sharing Expertise Worldwide
Whether here in New York or as far away as Australia, HSS orthopaedic surgeons
are training their counterparts from other countries in proven approaches and the
latest surgical treatments for musculoskeletal injuries and disorders. Opportunities
abound for overseas physicians to come to HSS for short-term observerships, residency
and fellowship training, and to attend topic-focused conferences and symposiums.
An annual international fellowship position is available in joint replacement surgery
through the Stavros Niarchos Foundation – Thomas P. Sculco, MD International
Orthopaedic Fellowship for a physician from Greece. In addition, the Sports Medicine
and Shoulder Service offers an annual fellowship for an international physician. At
the same time, Hospital faculty are frequently invited to provide training, deliver
presentations, and even conduct surgery, at centers throughout the world.
“I’ve always found it very interesting that the people who come to HSS for advanced
fellowship study tend to be the crème de la crème and really make a sacrifice to travel
here,” says Dr. Sculco. “They are driven to excel and want to go back to their countries
to be the best in the field.”
Each year, at the Hospital’s alumni meeting, a former international fellow is presented with
the Pier Giorgio Marchetti, MD, Award for International Achievement. Dr. Marchetti, who
trained at HSS some 50 years ago and was the first recipient of the award in 2010, went

An Educational Exchange
In 2012, Hospital for Special Surgery is
launching a unique educational initiative with
China that will enable physicians and trainees
throughout the country to benefit from the
Hospital’s specialized expertise and vast
resources in orthopaedic surgery.
Coordinated by Dr. Mathias Bostrom at HSS

A select number of international fellows continue to extend their relationship with HSS
as alumni ambassadors. Through the Hospital’s International Alumni Ambassador
Program, former fellows – now practicing throughout the world – help to further the
goals of the Hospital. As ambassadors, they represent HSS to the international medical
community and identify opportunities for clinical, education, and research partnerships
abroad. Among the eight physicians filling this role is William L. Walter, Jr., MBBS, PhD,
who completed his fellowship in adult reconstruction and joint replacement surgery at
HSS in 2003. A native Australian, Dr. Walter practices at Mater Hospital in Crows Nest,
New South Wales. “The HSS fellowship offered me exposure to a broad experience
in arthroplasty surgery with a strong emphasis on research,” says Dr. Walter. “I was
already enrolled in a PhD program studying retrieval analysis of hip bearings at the
University of New South Wales and was able to do a year of my PhD in New York
under the supervision of Timothy Wright. It was great being able to spend a year at
HSS and meet the people who defined the field of arthroplasty surgery. I was able to
question so many of the fundamental ‘truths’ in our craft by asking the people who
had defined those truths because they either worked at HSS or I came across them at
meetings because they are part of the extended family.”
“International physicians who have trained at Special Surgery have served as
presidents of their national organizations and direct university-based orthopaedic
programs in Italy, Israel, Germany, Taiwan, and all over the globe,” says Dr. Sculco.

Adult Reconstruction AND JOINT REPLACEMENT Division
The Adult Reconstruction and Joint Replacement Division is composed of the
Hip Service, Knee Service, and Surgical Arthritis Service. In 2011, the Division’s
20 full-time surgeons performed some 8,200 surgeries. In September 2012, the
Division welcomed Seth A. Jerabek, MD. Dr. Jerabek completed his orthopaedic
residency at Harvard, a fellowship in adult reconstruction at HSS, and a sports
medicine fellowship at Massachusetts General Hospital. In 2013, Michael Cross, MD,
who recently completed his orthopaedic residency at HSS, and is now pursuing a
fellowship in adult reconstruction at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago, will
join the Division as a clinician-scientist in August 2013.

Under the leadership of Friedrich Boettner, MD, the Division has implemented
protocols to help reduce blood loss in total knee replacement surgery and is
critically reviewing the management of blood donations in patients undergoing
hip replacement surgery and their likelihood of needing a blood transfusion. Since
October 2009, the Blood Preservation Center has enrolled over 1,200 patients.
In September 2010, the HSS Recuperative Pain Service launched a pilot program
with the Division to extend treatment of non-routine pain management issues beyond
the inpatient recuperative pain service. In 2011, this expanded pain management
program continued to grow with nurse practitioners, under the supervision of
Vladimir N. Kramskiy, MD, a specialist in chronic pain, providing 186 inpatient
consults, 60 outpatient consults, and 396 follow-up phone calls.
Amar S. Ranawat, MD, in collaboration with the Hospital’s Department of Nursing,
has led the development of a protocol for the management of postoperative wound
drainage in adult patients who undergo joint replacement. The protocol – which
promotes effective postoperative wound care accomplished through nursing
assessment, ongoing observation, and application of appropriate nursing care –
facilitates timely patient discharge and decreases the risk for infection.
In 2011, members of the Division continued to receive federal grants for research,
including two National Institutes of Health R01 grants. Dr. Bostrom was awarded a
$1.5 million grant to study mechanisms of bone integration in joint replacement
surgery; Mark P. Figgie, MD, along with Robert N. Hotchkiss, MD, and Timothy
M. Wright, PhD, were awarded nearly $1.2 million to investigate the biomechanical,
patient, and surgical factors that affect the performance of elbow replacements.
Last year, the Division held its fourth annual research retreat focusing on six key
areas: partial knee replacement, perioperative processes, bone restoration, registries/
outcomes, osteoarthritis, and osteolysis.

The Total Joint Replacement Registry, established in 2002 with three surgeons,
now numbers nearly 40,000 patients with participation from 18 surgeons. This
robust registry enables the Division’s faculty to evaluate outcomes of implants
and procedures in order to improve surgical results and guide the future of joint
replacement surgery.

HSS orthopaedic surgeons perform almost four times more total hip replacement
surgeries than any other institution in New York State – with more than 4,100
procedures performed in 2011. For the third consecutive year, Hospital for Special
Surgery was the only hospital in New York State with an infection rate that is
significantly lower than the state average for hip replacement or revision surgeries as
reported in the most recent New York State Department of Health report on hospital
infection rates.
To determine if a fast-track pathway for total hip replacement (THR) with the goal
of a two-day discharge is safe and effective compared to the traditional pathway, the
Division contrasted 149 patients undergoing unilateral, uncomplicated THR enrolled
in an accelerated postoperative pathway with 134 patients enrolled in the traditional
pathway. At one year, there were no differences in complications, readmissions,
or reoperations between the two patient groups, and the average length of stay
decreased from 4.1 to 2.6 days.
The Division’s surgeons are also exploring the use of robotic-guided navigation
to help improve the outcomes of total hip arthroplasty, especially in terms of
mechanical complications. Robotic-guided navigation provides quantitative data
to enable a precise placement of the cup and stem, as well as acetabular bone
preparation, thereby providing more predictable and reproducible results.

Computer-assisted technology is also being applied to total knee replacement surgery,
in particular to improve the accuracy and precision of the tibial resection. A cadaveric
study was conducted to determine the accuracy and time associated with the use of an
accelerometer-based, extramedullary surgical navigation system for performing the tibial
resection. Results showed that utilization of this system enables the surgeon to accurately
align the tibial resection in both the coronal and sagittal planes, and there is currently an
ongoing patient study to determine if it improves results.
The Hospital’s 40-year-old Surgical Arthritis Service brings together orthopaedic surgeons
and rheumatologists to provide multidisciplinary care for patients with inflammatory
rheumatic diseases. These patients present with some of the most complex conditions, and
the outcomes of their surgical management is influenced by many factors associated with
their disease. They are frequently at high risk for renal, pulmonary, cardiac, and other
complications that require careful scrutiny throughout the perioperative period. At HSS,
physicians and surgeons work closely together to identify the unique problems confronted
in the care of these complex patients and develop a treatment plan to decrease the likelihood
of perioperative complications, such as cardiac ischemia and arrhythmias, renal functional
impairment, pulmonary decompensation, thromboembolic events, and wound infection.
In 2011, HSS researchers reported on their study of anti-TNF medications used to treat a
variety of inflammatory diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, and how to better time
the withdrawal of these medications prior to knee replacement surgery to minimize the risk
of disease flares. Investigators analyzed self-reported flares within one month of surgery
as well as six-month adverse events, including surgical site infection, pulmonary embolism,
deep venous thrombosis, re-operations, and infections such as pneumonia. They found no
statistically significant difference in adverse events between patients who received anti-TNFs
and those who did not. This information can help patients avoid inflammatory flares in the
perioperative period.

Last year, the Surgical Arthritis Service conducted grand rounds focusing on the
collaborative management of patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS), including a
preoperative multisystem evaluation, in order to improve patient outcomes. Participants
learned of appropriate alternate treatments for heterotropic ossification, including
Indocin therapy or radiation post-arthroplasty, in patients with AS, and the importance of
preferential operating sequencing.
The Adult Reconstruction and Joint Replacement Fellowship Program continues to be
strengthened under the leadership of Mathias P. Bostrom, MD, with nearly 120 applicants
from the U.S., Canada, the U.K., and around the world for eight positions in the 2013-2014
academic year. In 2011-2012, the Division’s faculty were well-represented at six national
meetings and gave some 99 presentations at these and other venues. In addition, they
published over 100 publications in peer-reviewed journals.

In 201l, the Service welcomed Mark C. Drakos, MD, and Harvey Strauss, DPM,
to the staff. The recruitment of Dr. Strauss, a specialist in geriatric, diabetic, and
arthritic foot and ankle conditions, will enable the Service to grow and develop its
nonoperative component.
Members of the Service continue to play key roles in the development and refinement
of techniques to address challenging disorders of the foot and ankle, including a new
total ankle replacement due out this year. A focal point of foot and ankle research
at HSS is the Service-wide registry – a web-based, customized patient database that
captures demographic and questionnaire data for every new patient. Supported
by the Susan and Elihu Rose Foundation, the registry has 100 percent participation
by Service members and, as of the end of 2011, more than 32,330 patients have been
enrolled. Currently, some 20 research studies are underway using registry data.
In 2011, the Foot and Ankle Service received a $7.5 million pledge from a grateful
patient to help fund foot and ankle research over the next 10 years. With the
support of this generous gift, the Service will expand its research activities,
including the development of a gait simulator that will enable sophisticated
biomechanical testing to study, develop, and improve operative procedures.
The Foot and Ankle Service continues to provide fellows with the clinical
knowledge and research skills necessary for a successful career in academic
orthopaedics or private practice. Fellows are exposed to all aspects of foot and
ankle care, participate in clinical and basic science research, and gain in-depth
surgical experience. Foot and Ankle fellow Haydee Brown, MD, was awarded
the opportunity to present a podium presentation on the potential for biological
ligament repair at the 2012 Orthopaedic Research Society Annual Meeting.
In September 2011, the Service held the Rose Honorary Lecture in Foot and Ankle,
presented by Jeffrey E. Johnson, MD, Chief, Foot and Ankle Service at Washington
University Orthopaedics. Dr. Johnson spoke about current approaches to ankle
arthritis. The lecture was followed by a one-day CME course on updates in foot

Hand and upper extremity service
The Hand and Upper Extremity Service is a highly respected authority on the
treatment of common and complex conditions of the hand, wrist, forearm, and elbow.
Staffed by eight surgeons, the Service performed surgery in over 2,000 patients in 2011.
Last year, Steve K. Lee, MD, joined the staff as a full-time orthopaedic surgeon
and Director of Research for the Center for Brachial Plexus and Traumatic Nerve
Injury, which was launched in 2011. Dr. Lee’s particular clinical interests include
brachial plexus and complex nerve surgery, hand tendon surgery, and wrist ligament
reconstruction. The Center for Brachial Plexus and Traumatic Nerve Injury, the first
of its kind in New York, is an innovative multidisciplinary program providing state-ofthe-art diagnostic and reconstructive options for patients with injuries or dysfunction
of the peripheral nerve and brachial plexus.
The Service continues to make strides in the treatment of malignant tumors of the
hand and upper extremities. A recent study undertaken by faculty looking at patients
undergoing surgical treatment for soft tissue sarcoma of the hand showed that repeat
resection or amputation improves outcomes. This has prompted the researchers to
more aggressively seek to achieve negative resection margins, using standard or
modified amputations when needed, and performing repeat resections to negative
surgical margins when they were not achieved at the time of initial surgery.
Patients with musculoskeletal tumors can face large bone deficiency, deformity,
and nonunion. In collaboration with the Hospital’s Limb Lengthening and Complex
Reconstruction Service, the Hand Service evaluated distraction osteogenesis via the
Ilizarov method for reconstruction of these deficiencies allowing limb preservation and
optimizing function. The researchers found that the Ilizarov method is an effective
technique for limb reconstruction of bone tumors, although extended time in external
fixation is required.
Registries have been established in the basal joint, distal radius, carpal tunnel,
neoplasia, pediatrics, brachial plexus, and the elbow, forming the foundation of a
robust research program. In 2011, the Hand and Upper Extremity Service received IRB
approval on 41 research projects that will take place throughout 2012 and 2013.
In May 2011, the Service hosted its annual Lee Ramsay Straub, MD, Honorary
Lecture in Hand Surgery with Marybeth Ezaki, MD, Director of Hand Surgery at
Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children and Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery UT
Southwestern Medical School, presenting on pediatric upper limb conditions.
In 2011, the Andrew J. Weiland, MD, Medal for Outstanding Research in Hand Surgery,
established in 2009 by the American Society for Surgery of the Hand, was presented to
James Chang, MD, of Stanford University for his studies in flexor tendon reconstruction
with a focus on biomolecular modulation of tendon repair and tissue engineering.

LIMB LENGTHENING AND
COMPLEX RECONSTRUCTION SERVICE
The Limb Lengthening and Complex Reconstruction Service is internationally
recognized among the most comprehensive limb lengthening programs today. The
first program of its kind at a major U.S. academic center, the Service provides skill,
expertise, and experience on limb length equalization and deformity correction in
both adults and children. Service faculty are known for their work in limb salvage
surgery, reconstruction of nonunions and severe foot and ankle deformity, knee
and ankle joint preservation with limb realignment, and joint distraction. The
advances made possible by the Service provide potential treatments for patients who
previously had no viable alternative.

In 2011, the Service made strides in several clinical areas, including working with
the Department of Radiology and Imaging to develop a method to quantify bone
healing by measuring pixel density on PACS system X-rays. With the Department
of Nursing, the Service implemented a new protocol to improve external fixation
adjustments and pin care that has been adopted by all clinical services at HSS. In
addition, the Service established inpatient and outpatient physical therapy protocols
for limb lengthening, tibial osteotomy, femoral osteotomy, and ankle reconstruction.
Growth continues in clinical volume and research activity, with an ongoing focus
to further develop and improve upon traditional approaches and techniques that
incorporate new surgical options, improved tools, and enhancements to bone healing
and cartilage regeneration. Faculty are currently engaged in prospective randomized
clinical trials evaluating the effect of platelet-rich plasma on bone healing during
limb lengthening; a comparative study of two systems for autologous bone marrow
harvesting; and a comparison of the effect of two protocols of antibiotic prophylaxis
on pin tract infections. Prospective gait studies are evaluating the effect of
proximal tibial osteotomy in adults and children, and another study is comparing
the functional gait of limb salvage patients to amputation patients. Basic science
research focuses on the analysis of the biomechanics of external fixation.
The Limb Lengthening and Complex Reconstruction Service offers one of three
limb lengthening fellowships in the county. The educational program is focused
predominantly on two clinical fellows who receive intensive exposure to surgical,
inpatient, and outpatient clinical care. The fellowship provides an ongoing, in-depth
experience in the management of patients with congenital, developmental, and
post-traumatic limb deformity and leg length discrepancy. Emphasis is placed on
evaluation and both nonoperative and operative management of these conditions.
In addition, the Service offers a one-year Ilizarov Research Fellowship, and in 2011,
added an elective rotation for HSS residents. The Service continues to offer a clinical
elective for visiting medical students and residents who participate in teaching
conferences, journal clubs, and case reviews.

METABOLIC BONE DISEASE/
MUSCULOSKELETAL ONCOLOGY service
The Metabolic Bone Disease/Musculoskeletal Oncology Service is a consortium
of basic scientists, clinical diagnosticians, and medical specialists focused on
the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis, Paget’s disease, and related bone
disorders. The Service brings together practitioners across clinical fields that include
orthopaedics, rheumatology, physiatry, endocrinology, nephrology, and pediatrics for
the treatment of metabolic bone disease.
The Service’s Osteoporosis Prevention Center – a state-of-the-art testing, diagnostic,
and education facility – is one of only 14 centers nationwide to be accredited by the
International Society of Clinical Densitometry. HSS physicians and nurses have
developed a new clinical pathway to better identify those with bone disease and those
at risk in order to map the course for proper intervention. The pathway is currently
being used in candidates for spinal fusion surgery to optimize their bone health prior
to and following surgery.
Service faculty conduct research that crosses basic, clinical, and translational
platforms with the common focus on preservation of bone quality. Current
investigations at HSS concentrate on bone biology, chemistry, and the mechanics
of bone growth, including how to harness bone’s natural healing power to prevent
fracture and treat diseased bone. Since its launch in 2007, the Seymour Cohn
Metabolic Bone Registry has enrolled 520 participants. The goal of the registry is
to collect and analyze patient data sets to identify methods to prevent and repair
fragility fractures that result from osteoporosis and other metabolic bone disorders.
The Service has been able to identify over 14 families – each with three generations of
family members with fragility fracture – and initiate a genetic pilot study that seeks
to identify possible areas of the human genome that may be contributing to decreased
bone quality seen in some patients with multiple fractures.

The Service is leading a study to assess the influence of subcutaneous delivery of
sclerostin neutralizing monoclonal antibody on fusion rate and bone formation in a
rat posterolateral spinal fusion model. From data collected to date, HSS researchers
believe that although sclerostin antibody does not increase fusion rate, it does enhance
spinal fusion through dramatic increases in bone volume in this model.
The Service’s clinical research fellow completed a year-long fellowship with specific
focus on the role of vitamin D on functional recovery after total hip arthroplasty
and the relationship between performance tests and self-reported questionnaires.
A step-out program offered by the Service enables third-year medical students to
do metabolic bone research for a year. Since this program began five years ago, the
Service has had at least one medical student conducting research in any given year,
all of whom have gone on to pursue a residency in orthopaedics.

involving injuries to the pelvis and the acetabulum – among the most life-threatening
and difficult to treat; articular fractures; nonunion and malunion fractures that do
not heal or that have healed poorly; fractures in the elderly; and complex osteotomies
to correct deformity or congenital dysplasia.
In the past year, the Orthopaedic Trauma Service welcomed David S. Wellman, MD,
a July 2011 graduate of the HSS Orthopaedic Trauma Fellowship program. Prior
to coming on board, Dr. Wellman completed two fellowships in Europe, acquiring
additional expertise in surgical hip dislocations, periacetabular osteotomies, and pelvic
and acetabular trauma treated with new approaches and intraoperative 3D imaging.

In the past four years, the Medical Orthopaedic Trauma Service (MOTS) in
collaboration with NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell has made important
contributions to the care of geriatric patients, particularly those with hip fractures.
MOTS improves care through a coordinated and multidisciplinary plan of
treatment, focusing on all aspects of the patient’s care – the fracture, comorbidities,
postoperative care, and rehabilitation and follow-up. A study by MOTS faculty
recently published in the Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma looked at the influence of
this team model on in-hospital complications in patients with pertrochanteric femur
fractures. The study concluded that a multidisciplinary, collaborative model of care
for patients with hip fractures decreases the incidence of postoperative inpatient
complications, including new-onset urinary tract infection and arrhythmias.

Residents and fellows benefit from the three-way partnership of HSS, NewYorkPresbyterian Hospital, and Westchester Medical Center in the treatment of trauma
patients, providing a remarkable experience in the management of acute trauma,
fractures of the elderly, tumors, and pediatric trauma. The relationship continues to
evolve, encompassing a large clinical volume, ample opportunity for research, and
extraordinary exposure in the management of the more complicated polytrauma.
Research efforts include a major vascularity research project focused on identifying
sources of patellar vascularity using a gadolinium-based, contrast-enhanced MRI
anatomy study; assessment of the effect of patellar fracture on the vascularity of
the patella; and comparing a posterior approach to an anterolateral trochanteric flip
approach to hip and femoral head vascular disruption. A retrospective case control
study is also underway looking at the outcomes of insufficiency fractures of the
femur during long-term bisphosphonate treatment. Results of this study will help
orthopaedic surgeons to analyze the recovery and outcomes for surgically treated
bisphosphonate-associated proximal femur nonunions.

PEDIATRIC ORTHOPAEDIC SERVICE
A leader in the field of pediatric musculoskeletal care, the Pediatric Orthopaedic
Service has nine faculty members who treat thousands of infants, children, and
adolescents each year with congenital, developmental, and traumatic conditions. These
include scoliosis, limb length discrepancies, clubfoot, hip dysplasia, and fractures.
Last year, HSS performed 2,500 surgeries, with more than 18,000 outpatient visits to
Service physicians and nearly 18,000 visits to HSS pediatric rehabilitation therapists.
In 2011, the Service welcomed Ernest L. Sink, MD, a specialist in hip procedures in
infants, adolescents, and young adults – who has particular expertise in periacetabular
osteotomies and surgical dislocation. Dr. Sink is one of the few American surgeons to
have trained in Bern, Switzerland, with Professor Reinhold Ganz, who pioneered these
techniques. Dr. Sink also serves as the Co-Director of the Center for Hip Preservation.
The Pediatric Orthopaedic Service also welcomed Emily R. Dodwell, MD, MPH, in
February 2012. A clinician-scientist, Dr. Dodwell specializes in pediatric trauma,
cerebral palsy, and limb deformity correction, with a research focus on surgical
outcomes and disparities in healthcare for pediatric orthopaedic patients.
In September 2011, the Service celebrated the opening of the CA Technologies
Rehabilitation Center – the first phase of construction of the Alfred and Norma
Lerner Children’s Pavilion. When the Pavilion is fully completed in fall 2012, HSS will
have 31,000 square feet dedicated exclusively to pediatric musculoskeletal medicine.
In collaboration with the Department of Radiology and Imaging, the Pediatric
Orthopaedic Service is installing low-dose X-ray technology in the Lerner Children’s
Pavilion.
The pediatric orthopaedic fellow is trained in all aspects of the field through participation
in the pediatric orthopaedic clinics at HSS; fracture clinic, emergency department,
NICU, and PICU at NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell; and the trauma clinic at New
York Hospital Queens, and participates in a minimum of two research initiatives.
Also in 2011, the Service supported a one-year full-time research fellowship for Hannah
Ladendorf, a physician from Austria.
Research continues to thrive under the direction of Daniel W. Green, MD, and there
are currently more than 20 studies underway. In 2011, research projects included
evaluating ultrasound as an alternative to X-ray for diagnosing hip dysplasia in
children six months of age, and looking at the role of preoperative pulmonary
function testing in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis to predict pulmonary
complications associated with surgery. Service members in collaboration with
scientists developed a new technique for obtaining images of growth plate injuries
in children that provides computer-generated 3D models obtained from MRI to guide
decisions during surgery in order to achieve optimal results.

Scoliosis Service
The Scoliosis Service has a long history of excellent surgical outcomes for patients
with scoliosis and other complex spinal deformities, including scoliosis that is adult
idiopathic, congenital, early onset, degenerative, neuromuscular, and syndromic.
At the forefront of surgical innovations in spine deformity surgery, members of the
Scoliosis Service incorporate the latest minimally invasive and motion preserving
surgical alternatives to spinal fusion, the use of biologic healing agents, and newer
and less invasive techniques to surgically treat a number of spinal conditions. The
Service collaborates closely with the Hospital’s subspecialty services, including
pulmonary, neurology, internal medicine, and anesthesiology, in order to maximize
surgical success in major scoliosis and spine reconstruction procedures.
Oheneba Boachie-Adjei, MD

Seeing more than a thousand patients annually, the surgeons on the Scoliosis
Service are also members of the Spine Care Institute at HSS, a comprehensive
program that provides operative and nonoperative treatment resources for the care
of scoliosis and spine patients.
In 2011, the Service instituted the John R. Cobb, MD, Fellowship, a unique one-year
fellowship dedicated primarily to spinal deformity, incorporating training in the
management of pathologies of the cervicothoracic-lumbosacral spine in pediatric
and adult patients.
The Scoliosis Service is nationally and internationally recognized for its work
in clinical and basic science research, including an active scoliosis registry and
database with more than 2,000 patients enrolled to date. In 2011, the Service
reported on the outcomes of new surgical techniques for spine fusion in adolescents,
finding that these patients can expect to be doing well 10 years after surgery.
Studies currently underway are addressing scoliosis in the adolescent athlete; dual
rod instrumentation with limited fusion for treatment of progressive early onset
scoliosis; genetic mapping studies for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, including the
establishment of a registry and DNA repository; evaluation of quality of life after the
surgical management of neuromuscular spinal deformities; and the use of thoracolumbo-sacral orthoses in the treatment of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.
Total Surgical Volume: 340*
On April 28, 2012, with support from Hospital for Special Surgery, private donations,
and the Ghana government, a new 50-bed orthopaedic specialty hospital opened
in Accra, Ghana. The brainchild of Oheneba Boachie-Adjei, MD, the founder and
President of FOCOS (Foundation of Orthopedics and Complex Spine), the new
hospital is dedicated to providing orthopaedic services to a community of 22 million.

Spine SERVICE
During the past year, the Spine Service continued to further develop the multidisciplinary Spine Care Institute and advance the Integrated Spine Research Program.
The Spine Care Institute is a collaboration across multiple specialties to provide each
patient with the most appropriate care plan, leveraging the focused expertise of the
clinicians at Hospital for Special Surgery. The Integrated Spine Research Program
pursues basic and clinical research, which will lead to evidence-based care and promote
optimal outcomes for patients, and recently created the Spine Clinical Outcomes Unit
(SCOUT) to develop approaches to correlate outcomes to patient expectations.
In 2011, the Service welcomed Darren R. Lebl, MD, who specializes in the treatment of
complex degenerative, deformity, and traumatic spinal conditions of pediatric and adult
patients, with a special interest in revision surgery.
Research remains a high priority for the Spine Service. Randomized clinical trials
focus on non-fusion technologies, including a second-generation cervical total disc
arthroplasty. This prosthesis represents a significant advance in biomechanics and
materials. This year, Service members initiated a project to stimulate bone growth
using venous blood and marrow collected from the patient at the time of surgery. A
newer technique preserves the fibrin component of the blood and crosslinks the fibrin
with calcium chloride to form a platelet-rich fibrin matrix. The advantages are the
platelets remain intact and are embedded in an osteoconductive matrix. This technique
can be used as a platform to host other components and factors.
The Service also undertook a study to analyze and identify independent risk factors
for surgical site postoperative infection following posterior lumbar instrumented
arthrodesis. The review, published in The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery, revealed
new potential independent risk factors of osteoporosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease, and dural tears in the setting of this procedure. Areas of new research will
focus on the roles these novel factors may play in the pathogenesis of surgical site
infections in the spine.

(LLIF), and spine care outcomes.
The fellowship program, which trains seven fellows each year, continues to advance.
The 2011-2012 fellowship class contributed over 10 publications and more than 35
presentations at national and international conferences. One fellow, who served as the
lead author of a presentation, won “Best Paper” at the Eastern Orthopaedic Association;
the paper will be featured at the AAOS in 2013.

The Sports Medicine and Shoulder Service at HSS focuses on helping patients – from
the little league to the big league – back to performance. A team comprised of 25
orthopaedic surgeons and 11 physicians in other medical specialties, the Service
provides multidisciplinary care to athletes of all ages. In 2011, the Service performed
more than 8,500 surgeries and accommodated over 80,000 patient visits. Service
members are committed to a great outcome for each and every patient.
Service members are team physicians and provide medical coverage for more than
20 collegiate and professional teams, as well as athletic organizations. These teams
include the New York Mets, the New York Giants, the New York Knicks, the New
York Liberty, the New York Red Bulls, US Rowing, and the Association of Tennis
Professionals, to name a few. Each year, the Service strengthens its relationship with
the New York Road Runners, which manages the New York City Marathon, providing
health professionals who support the event and conducting a series of educational
programs for the organization’s members. Also, in 2011, a new relationship was
initiated with Major League Soccer with a CME-accredited program tailored to
physicians, physical therapists, and athletic trainers who care for elite soccer athletes.
Under the leadership of James J. Kinderknecht, MD, and John Cavanaugh, PT, MEd,
ATC, SCS, Clinical Supervisor, HSS Sports Rehabilitation and Performance Center,
HSS fellows and residents function as team physicians for six local area high school
football teams and staff a clinic offered to all junior varsity and varsity teams in the
Public School Athletic League. Dr. Kinderknecht is a member of the Primary Care
Sports Medicine Service, which was formally created in 2011 under the leadership
of Brian C. Halpern, MD, as Chief. Each physician on this Service began his or her
career in family medicine, pediatrics, or internal medicine, before going on to further
training in sports medicine.
The Sports Medicine and Shoulder Service Fellowship Program has seven accredited
positions, as well as an additional non-accredited position for an international fellow.
The program has trained more than 100 sports medicine leaders in institutions all
over the world. The Service also offers a two-year fellowship position that permits a
dedicated research year. In 2011, the Service welcomed its first primary care fellow
who receives broad training in injury prevention strategies, injury evaluation, and
restoration of function through rehabilitation or surgical means. Fellows are all
exposed to professional, collegiate, and/or high school athletes.
The clinical skills and experience of Service members are complemented by a
vigorous scientific agenda that embraces collaborations in basic and clinical research
with more than 100 projects currently underway. Clinical initiatives focus primarily
on knee ligament stability, shoulder stability, rotator cuff tendon healing, and
articular cartilage repair. The research registries continue to grow with the collection

alone has more than 2,000 patients enrolled to date.
Basic science is an integral part of the Service’s research
component, with a broad range of initiatives in the
study of knee mechanics in collaboration with the
Department of Biomechanics, the Leon Root, MD, Motion
Analysis Laboratory, and the Department of Radiology
and Imaging. These include studies evaluating the
relationship between knee stability and knee kinematics
in cadaveric models using a state-of-the-art robotic
system and a knee gait simulator. Testing tables
provided by the Department of Biomechanics are
utilized in the evaluation of shoulder and knee mechanics.
Scott A. Rodeo, MD, and David W. Altchek, MD
Within its Laboratory for Soft Tissue Research, the Service has a number of novel
animal research projects underway, with a major focus on the effect of mechanical load
on tendon-to-bone tunnel healing in ACL reconstruction and the effect of ACL graft
pre-tension on graft healing. Their work includes:
• investigating the therapeutic effects of human-derived placental adherent stromal cells
for the treatment of tendon degeneration
• e valuating, in cooperation with Weill Cornell Medical College, the novel imaging
technique of multiphoton microscopy to longitudinally quantify tendon healing and
reorganization
• s tudying the use of engineered nanofiberspun scaffolds to augment soft tissue graft
tendon-bone healing within ACL tunnels
• e xamining, in collaboration with Columbia University, the use of synthetic-braided ACL
graft seeded with bone marrow stem cells as a candidate graft for ACL reconstruction
• e valuating – using a vitamin D deficient rat model they created last year – histological
and mechanical properties of rotator cuff repair to determine if rotator cuff healing is
superior in the vitamin D repletion group
l 1,709 Inpatient Surgeries
l 7,262 Ambulatory Surgeries
Experiments of patellar tendon repair in a rat model conducted by the Laboratory for
Soft Tissue Research suggest that immobilizing the limb for four to six weeks after
surgery, rather than quickly starting physical therapy, improves healing, and that current
rehabilitation protocols used for patients undergoing tendon-bone repairs – such as
rotator cuff repair – may be partially to blame for the high rates of failed healing after
surgery. Results of the study were reported at the 2012 annual meeting of the American
Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine, and the Laboratory received the Cabaud Award
for best basic science/laboratory research paper at the meeting.

DEPARTMENT OF BIOMECHANICS
In 2011-2012, engineers in the Department of Biomechanics, collaborating with the
Hospital’s sports medicine surgeons, made great strides in two areas of research
with the potential to transform the treatment of joint injuries. Both programs are
founded on biomechanical principles with particular consideration for the way
loads are transferred across joints.

Outline of
the edge of
the tibia
High forces on the tibia (as indicated
by the red colors) after the meniscus is
removed can lead to damage. Synthetic
implants are being developed to reduce
these forces.
The first initiative, led by Suzanne A. Maher, PhD, focuses on formulating materials
to use in cartilage repair and replacement of the meniscus. Departing from previous
work to create materials that could carry cells or growth factors into the area of
a cartilage defect or be used as a scaffold in the meniscus, Dr. Maher seeks to
develop synthetic implants that can be used as partial replacements for damaged
cartilage tissue or as replacements for torn and damaged menisci. The challenge
lies in the ability to devise a product that is able to transfer large loads across these
complicated structures.
Dr. Maher and her colleagues at HSS and around the country have developed a
class of hydrogel materials that approximate the properties of the cartilage and
meniscus and are currently testing them in pre-clinical models. This past spring,
Dr. Maher was awarded the BioAccelerate NYC Prize, which funds biomedical
research that has significant commercial promise. One of five scientists selected for
this honor out of 200 competing from 12 New York research institutions, Dr. Maher
has also been provided with a highly experienced mentor to help with the process
of commercialization and business development.
After working with the Sports Medicine Service on a number of experiments in the
laboratory to recreate the measurements made by surgeons when presented with
an injured knee, Carl M. Imhauser, PhD, is constructing a new device to objectively
assess multi-directional knee stability. Based on laboratory experiments using a
sophisticated robot, Dr. Imhauser and his colleagues are able to examine the motion
of the knee in multiple planes simultaneously. This allows a clinician or physical
therapist to apply combined loads in several directions, providing – for the first
time – sensitive, objective measures of joint stability post ACL reconstruction.
Supported by funding from the National Institutes of Health and other sources,
Dr. Imhauser and his colleagues are just completing the prototype of this
measurement tool, which can collect data on joint instability, the extent of injury,
and surgical restoration of stability. These data will eventually be included in
the Hospital’s patient registries allowing comparison of these first ever objective
measurements with the patient’s own reported outcomes from treatment.
