Dear Colleagues, Welcome to Advancing Orthopaedics, which I hope will be a thought-provoking and valuable meeting. New trends and technologies are regularly coming to light in hip and knee arthroplasty and have the potential to improve the treatment options we offer to our patients. However, it is important to ensure that we are aware of the benefits and potential pitfalls of these innovations before we adopt them into our routine practice. During the scientific program over the next two days we will share our experience of new and emerging technologies, providing evidence, clinical rationale and debate as to the potential advantages these technologies may provide for our patients. We have a worldwide renowned faculty, who I’m confident will provide engaging presentations and robust debate. I would like to thank our international faculty members Professor Fares Haddad and Dr. David Mayman for making the journey to Australia to share their experience from London and New York respectively. I would also like to thank my fellow Australasian faculty members for taking time out of their busy practices and for their contribution to the program. All attendees are welcome to ask questions or raise topical issues throughout the program. The main aim over the next two days is for us to share thoughts and ideas as orthopaedic surgeons, so that we may all continue our learning and offer an improved service to our patients. Best wishes,

Warwick Bruce

Faculty Profiles

Dr Price GallieGold Coast, QLD

Dr. Price Gallie is a Gold Coast local. After completing his schooling at The Southport School, he attended the University of Queensland and completed a Bachelor of Medicine / Bachelor of Surgery degree in 1995. After Advanced Orthopaedic Training in Queensland, he obtained Fellowship of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (FRACS) in 2004.

Dr. Gallie then traveled internationally to gain post-graduate fellowship experience in surgery of the knee and hip. Initially in the United Kingdom, he completed a Clinical Fellowship in Knee Surgery under the guidance of Tim Spalding at the UHCW, University of Warwick. Following this Dr. Gallie moved to North America, and completed the Arthroplasty fellowship at St Michael’s Hospital, University of Toronto.

Since his return to Australia in 2006, Dr. Gallie has practiced on the Gold Coast, and continues to practice in the public and private sectors. Dr. Gallie continues to be involved in education and research. He teaches medical students from both Griffith and Bond University Medical Schools, as well as registrars on the AOA training program. He serves on the AOA state training committee. He has ongoing research interests, with a particular interest in knee replacement and ACL reconstruction, and is an Associate Professor at Griffith University.

Outside of orthopaedics, Dr. Gallie’s interests lie with his family, and he is the proud father of 4 young boys. In the little spare time remaining he enjoys rugby, surfing, golf, and running.

Dr Keith HoltPerth, WA

A graduate of the University of Western Australia, Dr. Holt completed his orthopaedic training in 1986. This was followed by a fellowship in Sports Medicine in Sydney (North Sydney Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Centre), where he worked with Dr. Mervyn Cross OAM and Associate Professor Leo Pinczewski, the former being a pioneer of sports surgery and ACL reconstruction, the latter now being one of the most experienced ACL surgeons in the world today.

Following this was time spent in Britain and then in Edinburgh, where a fellowship in arthritis surgery was undertaken. This included replacement surgery for both upper and lower limb joints, and surgery for rheumatoid arthritis. Before returning home to commence practice, Dr. Holt spent 6 months in the USA visiting many of the then world leaders in knee and shoulder surgery. It was here that he witnessed first-hand the new fields of arthroscopic surgery of the knee and shoulder, which were just being developed. This advancement in Orthopaedic Surgery was in its first years but it was this inspiration that led him to bring back and develop that sort of surgery in Western Australia. In June 1988, Dr. Holt returned to Perth and founded the Perth Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Centre. Dr. Holt is recognised for introducing arthroscopically aided reconstructive surgery to Western Australia, including ACL reconstruction, PCL reconstruction, sub-acromial decompression, rotator cuff repair and shoulder stabilisation. To this day, this sort of surgery, particularly sports related surgery, occupies a good deal of his time. As well as primary reconstructive surgery however, his experience lends itself to revision surgery for failed ligament reconstruction, and this represents a good number of the ACL reconstructions that he how performs.

In the last 15 years, Dr. Holt has also been specialising in replacement surgery of the knee and shoulder: and replacement surgery now constitutes a large volume of his practice. Again, this is both primary replacement surgery and revision surgery of these joints.

Mr Jit BalakumarMelbourne, VIC

Mr. Jit Balakumar is a highly trained orthopaedic surgeon with expertise in lower limb surgery, namely, joint preservation surgeries of the hip (hip arthroscopy, osteotomies and impingement surgery) and joint replacement.

After he completed a fellowship at the Royal Melbourne Hospital, Mr. Balakumar completed a diploma and fellowship of Knee Surgery in Paris V University in Paris, France.

In 2008 he was recognised for his talents and was accepted into the very competitive and highly sought after paediatric surgery fellowship at Harvard’s Children’s Hospital Boston. This is an American-accredited fellowship program which rarely grants acceptance to foreign-trained surgeons. There, Mr. Balakumar completed a full year of hands-on surgical training with some of the brightest minds and hands in orthopaedics. He honed his skills with emerging techniques in joint preservation surgeries across the paediatric, adolescent and adult populations.

His unique understanding of orthopaedics across all age groups makes Mr. Balakumar versatile in treating these conditions, being able to offer both joint preservation and replacement options. He has a number of publications in peer review orthopaedic literature and continues to present at international orthopaedic meetings. Mr. Balakumar also teaches orthopaedic surgeons, trainees and medical students.

Professor Lawrence KohanSydney, NSW

Professor Lawrence Kohan is an experienced Orthopaedic Surgeon specialising in joint replacement procedures of the hip & knee. Professor Kohan utilises the latest minimally invasive techniques in hip & knee surgery. He routinely performs Anterior Minimally Invasive Surgery (AMIS) for total hip replacement procedures, is actively involved in training and education and is committed to ongoing medical research in order to facilitate the best recovery and outcome for his patients following surgery.

“What motivates my work as an orthopaedic surgeon is helping people to maintain quality of life. My work makes it possible for very ill or injured people to regain and keep their health and independence.

We live much longer lives these days because of advances in medicine, nutrition and hygiene. We hope for active lives in strapping good health, but we cannot always protect ourselves from illnesses or accidents such as degenerative joint disease, rheumatoid arthritis, or severe injury to the joints.

The surgery I perform such as hip and knee replacements, knee reconstructions and arthroscopic surgery, improves the mobility and function of the injured joint. For older people this can mean many more years of valuable independence and active life. For younger people, particularly those with knee injuries, surgery can save them from permanent disability and in some cases will see them right back onto the football field. Once more they can trust their body to brace them for the brisk pace of life in today’s world.

I watch my patients progress from pain and fear, to rehabilitation, and then in most cases to a return to normal life. It gives me a great deal of satisfaction. It’s my lifelong professional commitment”.

Precise Alignment Technology in the Palm of Your Hand

OrthAlign® offers precise alignment technology in a simple, palm-sized, single-use device that is compatible with all implant systems. It is highly accurate for tibial and femoral component alignment in Total Knee Arthroplasty.

Recent studies have shown OrthAlign technology to improve alignment compared to traditional mechanical guides1 : • Tibial component coronal alignment - 95.7% within 2° of neutral, vs 68.1% for EM guides• Tibial component posterior slope - 95.0% within 2° of target slope, vs 72.1% for EM guides

And to compare favorably to conventional CAS systems2 : • Femoral component coronal alignment - 94.9% within 2° of neutral, vs 92.5% for CAS• Overall limb alignment - 92.5% within 3° of neutral, vs 86.3% for CAS

To experience OrthAlign® technology, please visit www.orthalign.com and download the Case Study: Use of Cutting Edge Precision Alignment Technology for Total Knee Arthroplasty.
