Dear Faculty and Friends,
We move ahead another
year with many great
memories and even greater
expecta ons for the future.
Our brand is strong and we
are stronger, together. And
it is indeed together that we
con nue this exci ng
academic journey. Our
leadership as surgical health
care providers and
researchers demands
‘connec vity’. So, today we
celebrate staying connected.
Crea ng a be er world for
our pa ents requires
teamwork, partnership,
and collabora on. Those
who stay connected to a
diverse network of support
and collabora ons will have
the tools to make change —
change that ma ers! Let’s
focus then on our
friendships, our families,
and our collec ve
‘connectedness’ as we,
MacOrtho, drive excellence
for the years to come.

ABC Travelling Fellowship
The historical visit of the American-Bri sh-Canadian
Travelling Fellows to McMaster University took
place June 15-18th, 2014. Apart from their arrival
and departure days, the fellows spent 2 full days
with MacOrtho faculty and residents.
The fellows, Pramod Achan (England), Will Aston
(England), Rob Ashford (England), Brendan Coleman
(New Zealand), Greg Firth (South Africa), Sanjeev
Pa l (Scotland) and Phong Tran (Australia), began
their tour with an outstanding academic session on
the morning of Monday, June 16th in the Great Hall
of the University Club. In front of a packed room,
the fellows presented their research that closely
aligned with those of MacOrtho. In turn, the
MacOrtho faculty presented research studies
represen ng similar interests, thus genera ng
enthusias c and collabora ve discussion.
Lunch in the University Club was accompanied by
further academic discussion and tableside chats
with our Academic Head, Mohit Bhandari. The
a ernoon was spent with subspecialty groups and
further explora on of common surgical interests
and research collabora ons. The fellows then
spent the evening with MacOrtho families at a
poolside BBQ, enjoying the relaxed environment
and camaraderie. The fellows enjoyed wine tas ng
tours at Hillebrand and Peller Estates, and re-
invigorated with a dousing of cool water on the
Hornblower through Niagara Falls.
Oﬃcial feedback from the COA/AOA regarding the
ABC Travelling Fellowship visit in June of this year
reported scores in 2 categories: educa onal
experience and accommoda on/social hos ng.
Ourcombined scores ed for ﬁrst place among the
11 elite ins tu ons visited by the Fellows, including

Current Research in
Orthopaedic Surgery
Our current research ini a ves revolve around 5 major areas: Trauma &
Injury, Degenera ve Joint Disease, Musculoskeletal Tumour Surgery, Sports
Medicine and Disorders of Spine. The ra onale for the five major themes,
each with their unique foci, is driven by the increasing global burden of
orthopaedic trauma injuries worldwide due to the prevalence of road traffic
injuries, the crisis of inten onal injuries in women from domes c violence,
the epidemic of fragility fractures in the elderly, the high rates of
osteoarthri s, the devasta ng effects of bone cancer, the debilita ng
consequences of an orthopaedic sports injury, and high level of disabili es
resul ng from spinal injuries and condi ons. These debilita ng injuries and
disorders affect people of all ages, from children to the elderly. Each of these
core research themes are opera onalized primarily by the conduct of mul -
na onal defini ve randomized controlled trials and large observa onal cohort
studies.

Trauma and Injury:
Road Traﬃc Accidents &
Associated High-Energy Trauma
Trauma is the leading cause of death in the ﬁrst
four decades of life, surpassed only by cancer and
atherosclerosis, as the major cause of death in all
age groups. For every person killed as a result of
an injury, threefold more survive and are le
permanently disabled. Musculoskeletal injuries,
such as fractures and disloca ons, are very
common manifesta ons of trauma. The Canadian
Ins tute for Health Informa on reports 119,301
musculoskeletal injury-related hospitaliza ons
annually in Canada. Globally, trauma-related care
costs are over 100 billion dollars per year.

Trauma and Injury:
Inten onal Injuries in Women
The World Health Organiza on reports that one
in three women globally will experience physical
or sexual in mate partner violence (IPV) or
domes c abuse in their lives. Every six days, a
woman in Canada is killed by her in mate partner.
In mate partner violence is a prevalent social
issue which poses signiﬁcant health concerns. It
dispropor onately aﬀects women and is a leading
cause of non-fatal injury in females in North
America. The cost of IPV in Canada is es mated at
$5 billion annually. Vic ms of abuse experience
more physical and mental health problems,
including orthopaedic injuries and, consequently,
use health care resources more frequently than
non-abused women.

Promo ng Empowerment for Vic ms of Abuse and In mate Partner Violence (PREVAIL)
If I had something in the clinic, I would have definitely felt
more comfortable bringing it up.
Improving our fracture clinics to
help women across Canada.
Funding: Applica ons in progress
PREVAIL is a two-phase prospec ve observa onal
study which will first assess and then a empt to
change the environment of the orthopaedic clinic
in order to be er suit it for the poten al
disclosure of in mate partner violence (IPV). The
control phase consists of surveying pa ents who
visit the orthopaedic clinic about their percep on
of this environment as an open and resource-rich
place in which to discuss IPV, should the need
arise. The interven onal phase will consist of
the implementa on of our self-designed IPV
media 'toolkit', which includes several versions
of a poster, an informa onal brochure with card
insert, and staff bu ons to be worn during the
normal opera ng hours of the orthopaedic
clinic.

Trauma and Injury:
Fragility Fractures in Elderly
Fragility fractures are common problems in
Canada and have a significant economic impact
on the healthcare system. It is es mated that at
least one in three women and one in five men will
suffer a fragility fracture in their life me and the
cost of trea ng osteoporo c fractures in Canada
is more than $1.3 billion dollars per year. Two
common types of fragility fractures are hip
fractures and shoulder fractures.

FAITH is a large mul -centre randomized controlled
trial comparing sliding hip screw and cancellous
screw ﬁxa on in femoral neck fracture pa ents.
Surgeons will use 1 of 2 surgical strategies in 1,500
pa ents who have sustained a femoral neck
fracture. The outcomes measured are revision
surgery rates and quality of life up to 24 months
post ini al hip surgery.
The secondary objec ve is to evaluate the impact of
sliding hip screws versus cancellous screws on
complica ons, including mortality, avascular necrosis,
nonunion, implant breakage or failure, and infec on.
Over 70 sites are currently par cipa ng in the FAITH
study: Canada (12 sites), USA (41 sites), Netherlands
(14 sites), Norway (1 site), Australia (3 sites), and
India (11 sites).
The FAITH trial has successfully

Hip Fracture Evalua on with Alterna ves of Total Hip
Arthroplasty versus Hemi-Arthroplasty (HEALTH):
HEALTH is a large mul -centre randomized
controlled trial comparing total hip arthroplasty with
hemi-arthroplasty in 1,434 pa ents with displaced
femoral neck fractures.
The primary outcome is revision surgery rates at 24
months post ini al surgery and the secondary
outcome is quality of life up to 24 months post ini al
hip surgery. Over 70 interna onal clinical sites will
be included in the HEALTH study and surgeons
across North America, Europe, Australia, and Asia
will par cipate.
Hip Fracture Evalua on with Alterna ves of Total Hip Arthroplasty
versus Hemi-Arthroplasty (HEALTH):
Hip fractures account for more hospital days
than any other musculoskeletal injury and represent
more than two thirds of all hospital days due to fractures.

Musculoskeletal
Tumour Surgery
Malignant bone tumours (bone sarcomas) o en
aﬀect adolescents and young adults. In Canada,
bone sarcomas aﬀect 4 to 5 pa ents per million
persons each year. Long-bone sarcomas were
historically managed with amputa ons, but the
current standard is limb salvage surgery, which
involves wide tumour resec on followed by
func onal reconstruc on. With the aid of modern
imaging techniques and chemotherapeu c
regimens, limb salvage is possible in 95%
of pa ents.

Prophylac c An bio c Regimens in Tumor Surgery (PARITY)
An bio c misuse and overuse are considered the main factors
in the development of an bio c resistance.
With 10 sites in North America ac vely
enrolling pa ents, the PARITY trial is
demonstra ng early success which has led
to an explosion of interest in the trial.
PARITY is an interna onal, mul -centre, double-blind,
randomized controlled trial which will evaluate the
eﬃcacy of short versus long-term post-opera ve
prophylac c an bio c regimens on the incidence of
deep infec on following endoprosthe c
reconstruc on of lower extremity bone tumors. This
is, to our knowledge, the ﬁrst randomized controlled
trial in orthopaedic surgical oncology and will include
920 pa ents recruited by surgeons in Canada, the
United States and Argen na. The PARITY trial is
demonstra ng early success by enrolling 34 pa ents,
which is one-third of the feasibility sample of 100
pa ents earlier than expected.

Sports Medicine
Sports-related injuries account for 30 to 40
percent of all uninten onal injuries. Sports
accidents are the leading cause of injury in young
adults. With approximately 30 million children
and adolescents par cipa ng in sports ac vi es
according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control,
the prevalence of sports injury is on the rise.
Nearly 40 percent of sports injuries occur in
children aged 5 to 14 years, and the severity of
the injuries increase with age. High school aged
individuals account for 2 million injuries that
result in over 500,000 doctor visits and 30,000
hospitaliza ons in the United States. The
prevalence is higher amongst the younger age
groups as a result of immature bones, insuﬃcient
training, and overuse injuries.

Femoroacetabular Impingement Randomized Controlled Trial (FIRST)
As FAI progresses, the resul ng hip damage may lead to
osteoarthri s (OA) of the hip.
Over 52 pa ents enrolled across
mul ple centres.
FIRST is a mul na onal trial evalua ng the eﬃcacy of surgical treatment in pa ents
diagnosed with femoroacetabular impingement. The primary objec ve of the study is to
determine whether the surgical correc on of the impingment morphology (arthroscopic
osteochondroplasty) provides improved clinical results (decreased pain and improved
func on) compared to arthroscopic lavage of the hip joint.

Knowledge Transla on
Our strategy is simple—to be responsible to
our pa ents by providing exemplary pa ent
care, using the best evidence to guide our
decisions, and leading with innova on.

We have a 30-day TJR readmission rate which is half that of the best reported
rates in the US. We a ribute this to our prac ce protocols which we have been
instrumental in establishing to improve the pa ent experience.
The Hamilton Arthroplasty Group (HAGrp) at the Hamilton Health Sciences Juravinski Hospital is an
independently funded mul disciplinary clinical outcomes research group dedicated to improving total joint
replacement outcomes, specifically pa ent quality of life through con nuous quality improvement in clinical
service, research and educa on in total joint replacement (TJR). In 2013/14 our focus was on research
ini a ves addressing preopera ve pa ent factors, including medical condi ons/comorbidi es and
psychosocial factors that affect TJR pa ent outcome, specifically looking at how these impact such quality
based procedure outcomes as hospital length of stay.
In 2014/15 the Hamilton Arthroplasty Group con nues to focus on pa ent outcomes as well as collabora ve
issues with other research groups across various disciplines. Of note is a key quality assurance trial set to begin
in 2015 in collabora on with Infec ous Diseases to determine the effec veness of a preopera ve
Staphylococcus aureus screening and decoloniza on program to reduce the rela ve risk of prosthe c joint

MacOrtho hosted the second annual
Femoroacetabular Impingement symposium on May 3,
2013. This second mee ng was mostly interac ve,
fostering discussion regarding current prac ces and
challenges with a focus on future research ini a ves
within our FAI collabora ve.
During the morning session, selected speakers
presented their current FAI research. In the a ernoon
session, an Inves gators Mee ng was held for the
