The Steadman Philippon Research Institute 2007 Annual Report
Patients with hip pain may suffer from femoro- acetabular impingement, or FAI, in which bony abnormalities of both the femur and acetabulum irregularly and repetitively contact each other, creating damage to articular cartilage and labrum. This may lead to a more rapid onset of osteoar- thritis, which is the leading cause of disability in the United States. In the past, the treatment for FAI was an open surgical dislocation procedure to repair this pathology. It has shown good mid-term results, but it is a highly invasive procedure.
The recovery from this open surgical dislocation procedure may limit activities for nine months. This length of postoperative inactivity is not feasible for the recreational or professional athlete. Dr. Marc J. Philippon has developed an arthroscopic technique to repair this hip joint disease that allows individu- als to return to activities, including athletics, as early as three months.
Patients with osteoarthritis of the shoulder have pain and loss of function that significantly affect their quality of life. When the disease becomes more advanced and the symptoms do not respond to conservative methods, total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) is the preferred surgical treatment. The number of TSAs performed annually in the U.S. has increased from about 5,000 in the early 1990s to more than 20,000 in 2005. This is largely because an aging population wants to stay active, but
it may also be due to better prosthesis designs, better surgical techniques, and better training of surgeons.
While the overall outcomes after shoulder replacements are excellent, the motions of the bones or implants inside the shoulder joint during motion in living subjects are not well known because we haven’t been able to “see” inside the joint.

Back pain will inhibit millions of Americans this year, and an estimated 80% of us will experience back pain sometime in our lives. For some, the pain can be excruciating. Back pain can be caused by a large number of injuries or conditions, thus making a proper diagnosis both difficult and critical. Back pain that occurs with other symptoms like fever and chills, severe abdominal pain or bladder and bowel problems can be an indication of a serious medical condition, and should be evaluated by your doctor immediately.
Musculoskeletal strains are more common among people who live sedentary lifestyles. Those with a higher level of physical fitness generally have stronger muscles in the back, legs and abdomen, all of which help support the back. Perhaps the most significant risk factor is obesity. The strain of carrying excess weight can contribute greatly to back pain. Regular exercise and a balanced diet can help control obesity, and reduce the frequency of back pain episodes.
There are many conditions that can cause back pain other than musculoskeletal strains. They include:
• Arthritis, a disease that causes inflammation of the joints. Three types of arthritis that affect the spine are osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and ankolyzing spondylitis.
• A herniated disc, or ruptured disc, occurs when the hard outer coating of the discs, the circular pieces of connective tissue that cushion the vertebrae, are damaged. These discs may leak, irritating nearby nerves. A herniated disk can cause severe sciatica, nerve pain that radiates down the leg.
• Spinal stenosis is a condition where the spinal canal narrows, compressing the nerves inside. It is often caused by bone spurs which are a result of osteoarthritis. Compression of the nerves can lead to pain, numbness in the legs and the loss of bladder or bowel control.
• Spondylolisthesis is a condition where a vertebra of the slips out of place. As the spine tries to stabilize itself, the joints between the slipped vertebra and adjacent vertebrae can become enlarged. This can pinch nerves, causing low back pain and severe sciatica leg pain.
• Vertebral fractures can be caused by trauma or by osteoporosis, a disease where the bones become fragile.
• Degenerative disc disease is an aging process where the discs between the vertebrae break down over time.

This final report summarizes a study that investigated the stress dampening effects of egg powder from fertilized eggs in the Trier Social Stress Test. The study had 60 participants who were randomly assigned to consume either a placebo or egg powder daily for 4 weeks. Participants provided saliva samples to measure cortisol and completed questionnaires assessing stress, mood, and health at baseline and after undergoing the Trier Social Stress Test, which involves public speaking and mental arithmetic tasks. The results showed that egg powder consumption was associated with reduced cortisol responses and perceived stress during the social stress test compared to the placebo group.
This thesis examines the impact of climate change on Sámi youth wellbeing and cultural continuity in Kautokeino, Norway. Interviews were conducted with Sámi adolescents, community members, and leaders. The results suggest that climate change is negatively impacting traditional Sámi culture and reindeer herding. It is causing difficulties for teaching traditional knowledge to younger generations and changing seasonal patterns that Sámi culture depends on. Climate change is also increasing stress levels and risks to mental health among Sámi youth. Adaptation strategies are needed to address these challenges and ensure the intergenerational transmission of Sámi culture and language.

The Steadman Philippon Research Institute 2011 Annual Report
Snapping scapula syndrome is a rare condition of the shoulder that is poorly understood. Due to the lack of knowl- edge about this syndrome, many patients are misdiagnosed
or suffer with symptoms for many years. The most common complaint is pain when the shoulder blade rubs and clicks against the ribs. There are many factors that can cause a snapping scapula, including problems between the scapula (shoulder blade) and chest wall, muscle tears, fractures in the shoulder area, a bony lump on the shoulder blade, rheumatoid diseases and shoulder injuries.
X-rays and CT scans (3-D imaging) are used to show bone spurs or abnormalities of the scapula. MRI is also used to look for related conditions, such as scapular bursitis—where the soft tissues between the scapula and the chest wall are thick, irri- tated, or inflamed. Treatment starts with injections of steroids to provide pain relief, along with physical therapy to improve muscle strength. Unfortunately, some bone or tissue abnormali- ties do not respond to these treatments—in which case surgery may be necessary.

Approximately 250,000 anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstructions are performed every year in the United States. ACL injuries are most commonly caused during an activ-
ity that involves a twisting or pivoting motion of the knee, causing the ACL to tear and creating a popping noise in the joint. Various studies have shown that ACL reconstructions with autograft tissue (tissue from the patient’s own knee) report a failure rate of approximately 5-10 percent of all surger- ies performed each year. Despite the
prevalence of this procedure, a debate still exists regarding the ideal graft choice. The use of allograft tissue (cadaveric donor tissue) continues to gain popularity because it lacks the inherent disadvan- tages that are specific to the utilization
of autograft tissue. Some of the disad- vantages of autograft use include harvest- site morbidity (disease), scarring and tendinitis, patella fracture, etc. Despite these disadvantages, ACL autograft use
is still considered advantageous for a number of reasons, including lower surgi- cal costs, lack of cell death, improved graft incorporation, and lack of donor- to-host disease transmission. Contrary to autograft tissue, the use of allograft tissue avoids harvest-site morbidity, provides less peri-operative pain, and shortens opera- tive time significantly. The preparation
of allograft tissue has changed significantly in recent years, significantly decreasing the chances of disease transmission, while still preserving the collagen integrity of the graft.
The purpose of this study was to document ACL revi- sion rates and subjective outcomes following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with Achilles allograft, bone-patel- lar tendon-bone (B-PT-B) allograft, hamstring autograft and B-PT-B autograft, while controlling for surgical technique and rehabilitation. Our hypothesis was that revision rates and outcomes of ACL allograft and ACL autograft procedures. would be similar among ACL reconstruction groups performed by the same surgeon with the same rehabilitation.

The Steadman Philippon Research Institute 2006 Annual Report
The purpose of our Basic Science Research is to gain a better understanding of factors which lead to: (1) degenerative joint disease; (2) osteoarthritis; (3) improved healing of soft tissues such as ligaments, tendons, articular cartilage, and meniscus cartilage; and (4) novel and untried approaches of treatment modalities. Our focus is to develop new surgical techniques, innovative adjunct therapies, rehabilitative treatments, and related programs that will help delay, minimize, or prevent the development of degenerative joint disease. In 2006, we collaborated with various educational institutions, predominantly Colorado State University and Michigan State University. We believe that our combined efforts will lead directly to slowing the degenerative processes, as well as finding new ways to enhance healing and regeneration of injured tissues.
The relatively new area of regenerative medicine is an exciting one that has gained global attention. There are many new and inno- vative techniques under investigation by scientists around the world. One of the broad goals of this work can be stated simply as joint preservation. In 2006 we focused our efforts almost exclusively on regeneration of an improved tissue for resurfacing of articular cartilage (chondral) defects that typically lead to degenerative osteoarthritis. We have been working in the promising area of gene therapy in col- laboration with Drs. Wayne McIlwraith and David Frisbie at Colorado State University. We have now completed our initial studies, and we have enough important data to take this project to the next level.
In 2006 we also published an extremely important manuscript that examined the effects of leaving or removing a certain layer of tissue during lesion preparation for microfracture. This manuscript
will help guide surgeons and should improve outcomes of microfrac- ture performed by surgeons worldwide. We also completed data collection of a study involving electrostimulation to enhance
cartilage healing.

The relatively new area of regenerative medicine is an exciting one. There are many new and innovative techniques under investiga- tion by scientists around the world. In 2005, we focused our efforts almost exclusively on regeneration of an improved tissue for resurfac- ing of articular cartilage (chondral) defects that typically lead to degenerative osteoarthritis. We have been working in the promising area of gene therapy in collaboration with Drs. Wayne McIlwraith and David Frisbie at Colorado State University. We completed all aspects of our study looking at the effects of leaving or removing a certain layer of tissue during lesion preparation for microfracture. We also began a new area of study involving electrostimulation to enhance
cartilage healing. Following is some background information and a summary of our most recent find- ings. This work is ongoing, and the encouraging results presented here will allow us to continue to focus on this work in the coming years.
Osteoarthritis is a debilitating,
progressive disease characterized
by the deterioration of articular
cartilage accompanied by changes
in the bone and soft tissues of the
joint. Traumatic injury to joints is also often associated with acute damage to the articular cartilage. Unfortunately, hyaline articular (joint) cartilage is a tissue with very poor healing or regenerative potential. Once damaged, articular cartilage typically does not heal, or it may heal with functionless fibrous tissue. Such tissue does
not possess the biomechanical and biochemical properties of the original hyaline cartilage; hence, the integrity of the articular surface and normal joint function are compromised. The result is often osteoarthritis.

PGx Analysis in VarSeq: A User’s PerspectiveGolden Helix
Since our release of the PGx capabilities in VarSeq, we’ve had a few months to gather some insights from various use cases. Some users approach PGx workflows by means of array genotyping or what seems to be a growing trend of adding the star allele calling to the existing NGS pipeline for whole genome data. Luckily, both approaches are supported with the VarSeq software platform. The genotyping method being used will also dictate what the scope of the tertiary analysis will be. For example, are your PGx reports a standalone pipeline or would your lab’s goal be to handle a dual-purpose workflow and report on PGx + Diagnostic findings.
The purpose of this webcast is to:
Discuss and demonstrate the approaches with array and NGS genotyping methods for star allele calling to prep for downstream analysis.
Following genotyping, explore alternative tertiary workflow concepts in VarSeq to handle PGx reporting.
Moreover, we will include insights users will need to consider when validating their PGx workflow for all possible star alleles and options you have for automating your PGx analysis for large number of samples. Please join us for a session dedicated to the application of star allele genotyping and subsequent PGx workflows in our VarSeq software.

ounded in 1988 by orthopaedic surgeon Dr. J. Richard Steadman, the SteadmanuHawkins Research Foundation is an indepen-
dent, tax-exempt (IRS code 501(c)(3)) charitable organization. Known throughout the world for its research into the causes,
prevention, and treatment of orthopaedic disorders, the Foundation is dedicated to solving orthopaedic problems that limit an
individual’s ability to maintain an active life.
The Foundation has influenced the practice of orthopaedics — from diagnosis to rehabilitation. Recognizing that the body’s
innate healing powers can be harnessed and manipulated to improve the natural healing process has led to exciting advances in surgical
techniques that are used today by orthopaedists in many practices. The microfracture technique, for example, is now accepted as a
treatment to enhance articular cartilage healing that may make it possible to postpone or even eliminate the need for joint replace-
ment surgery. It has been independently estimated that more than one million patients have now been treated with microfracture
to repair chondral defects. Today, the Foundation is recognized worldwide for pioneering research of new arthroscopic procedures to
treat femoral impingement in the hip and rotator cuff injuries in the shoulder.
The Foundation collects data and publishes clinical research results on knees, hips, shoulders and spine and has become the
most published and one of the most innovative organizations in sports medicine research and education. The Foundation publishes
its findings in relevant scientific and medical journals and presents its research results at medical meetings worldwide. Philanthropic
gifts are used to advance scientific research and to support scholarly academic programs that train physicians for the future. As a
result of its Fellowship Program, the Foundation now has a global network of more than 160 Fellows and associates who have put the
advanced concepts they learned in their fellowships to good use in their orthopaedic practices.
The focus is on improvement of function and quality of life. Future research will target predictors of disability caused by
arthritis, predictors of successful surgery, predictors of patient satisfaction, patient expectation of treatment, and patient outcomes
following surgery.
