    A Message from Department Chair Jeffrey J. Eckardt, M.D.:

    Welcome to the 2013 AAOS UCLA/OH Alumni Reception. Im glad to report that over the past several years weve had many accomplishments and 2012 was a banner year in many ways. We moved into our new facility at the UCLA Medical Center, Santa Monica, opened an eight-unit outpatient surgery center across the street, and opened the UCLA Spine Center on Wilshire Boulevard and 16th Street in Santa Monica. Our residents continue to perform well on their Orthopaedic Surgery In-Training Examinations and Ive been very pleased with their fellowship opportunities after graduation. We are expanding our basic skills laboratory for all residents to include sawbones, cadaver dissections, as well as OR matrices, all mandated by the ACGME, and Im delighted that former resident Nicholas Bernthal, M.D. is joining our faculty after fellowship this summer. We now have a total of 73 clinical and research faculty members in the Department. Our alliance with the Los Angeles Orthopaedic Hospital and the development of the Orthopaedic Hospital Research Center has strengthened our research efforts exponentially. We are now ranked #7

    in the nation for National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding among all University programs for orthopaedic research and look forward to increasing those efforts. We have also been gearing up and are about to implement UCLAs electronic medical record system, CareConnect, which has been a huge undertaking and were grateful for all those who have helped. We have started a new section in this bulletin with news of several of our Alumni and would ask that you, in the future, send us pictures and news of how youre doing, including honors, awards and exciting announcements. It is my hope that you will all keep in touch and come to visit us if in Los Angeles. Please help us strengthen our Alumni network by updating your contact information and donating to the residency or fellowship program and/or Alumni Association: www.ortho.ucla.edu/alumni.

    RESIDENT/FELLOW EDUCATION UCLA continues to pride itself on training some of the finest orthopaedic surgery residents in the country. Our goal is to train both outstanding clinicians and future academic leaders. Each year we are faced with the difficult task of choosing from the best-qualified applicants in the country in an increasingly competitive field. We are rewarded with bright young minds that provide outstanding care and strengthen our Department. Led by Program Director James V. Luck, Jr., M.D., Associate Program Director Nelson Soohoo, M.D., and with the indispensable assistance of Medical Education Coordinator, Connie Sams, C-TAGME, we currently train six residents per residency class. In addition, two residents per year choose to complete a prestigious one-year research fellowship between second and third years of residency. Our 2012-2013 research residents are Trevor Scott, M.D., and Alexandra Stavrakis, M.D.

    In addition to the Santa Monica and Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Centers, our residents continue to rotate at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, Shriners Hospital Los Angeles, the West Los Angeles VA Hospital, Olive View-UCLA Medical Center and the Downtown campus of the Los Angeles Orthopaedic Hospital. Louis Kwong, M.D., has taken over as Interim Chair of Harbor-UCLA. Daniel Zinar, M.D., has stepped down after many years of very able leadership. In 2011, our residency program received a five-year accreditation (the longest duration of accreditation that can be received) without any citations. This highest evaluation is only given to 3% of all

    programs by the Residency Review Committee. In addition to our residency program, we have five excellent postgraduate fellowship programs. Each year we train two fellows in Orthopaedic Sports Medicine, two in Hand Surgery, two in Spine Surgery, one in Pediatric Orthopaedics, and one in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. These trainees have completed their orthopaedic surgery residencies and have chosen to spend one year at UCLA for subspecialty training. In June 2012 we welcomed our new intern class:

    ORTHOPAEDIC RESEARCH

    In 2011 Orthopaedic Hospital celebrated its 100-year anniversary (see appended photos below of OH in 1917 and 2011). For the last two decades, the century-old research mission at the Orthopaedic Hospital has flourished under the direction of Harry McKellop, Ph.D. and his discovery of orthopaedic device components with

    greatly improved durability and longevity. The standard for excellence in orthopaedic research at UCLA was set by Marshall Urist, M.D. who discovered and ushered in the clinical use of bone morphogenetic protein to build back human bone where it was needed to make new bone for skeletal stability. 1998 saw the alliance of the UCLA Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and Orthopaedic Hospital with a commitment to preserve the rich, patient-oriented research mission embraced by both.

    HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE

    2007 witnessed the first step of the alliances vision to expand the mission of the two institutions to become among the best orthopaedic research centers in the world with the opening of the Cesar Pelli-designed-Orthopaedic Hospital Research Center at the heart of the Court of Sciences on the UCLA Westwood campus (pictured on next page). As Director of the Orthopaedic Hospital Research Center, John Adams, M.D., (pictured below) was charged with realizing this expanded vision by mounting a bold recruiting effort to create an interschool (i.e., medicine, engineering, dentistry,

    etc.), transdisciplinary,

    extramurally-funded, bench-to-bedside team science approach to childhood and

    adult musculoskeletal disease. The recruitment effort culminated this spring with the addition of 22 new faculty members from around the world to laboratories in the Orthopaedic Hospital Research Center.

    RESEARCH: BASIC SCIENCE AND TRANSLATIONAL

    Highlights of this expansion from 2007 include: 1) a 10-fold increase to $5.5M in annual, peer-reviewed grant funding coming to the Department, moving the Department to number seven on the list of the top NIH-granted departments in the country; 2) the first ever NIH training grant in Orthopaedic Surgery for UCLA principled by John Adams, M.D. and Karen Lyons, Ph.D., (pictured above), representing the only such training grant in orthopaedic surgery west of St. Louis, 3) the first ever large-scale grant ($5.6M total) from the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine for bone regeneration research principled by Chia Soo, M.D., and Bruno Peault, Ph.D.; and 4) presentation to the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery of an $82 million Clinical and Translational Science Award by the NIH, the largest single grant to the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. None of these efforts would have been possible without advice,

    support and teamwork contributed by the Broad Stem Cell Institute, the Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center, the Department of Molecular, Cell and Developmental Biology in the UCLA College of Letters and Science, and the Clinical and Translational Science Institute.

    The Orthopaedic Hospital Research Center on the Westwood campus provides a fertile environment for our researchers

    and clinicians to innovate and collaborate in pediatric orthopaedic science. Karen Lyons, Ph.D. has received international awards for her breakthrough work in skeletal development and growth-plate biology while Deborah Krakow, M.D., and Dan Cohn, Ph.D., (both pictured above) have identified several key genetic mutations that cause dwarfism. These discoveries have lead to a better understanding of bone diseases that affect children and are the basis for novel future treatments. Our clinicians and scientists are also focused on translational research that enhances orthopaedic treatment for children by improving surgical techniques and non-surgical care. In collaboration with the pediatric spine surgeons, Sophia Sangiorgio, Ph.D., and Edward Ebramzadeh, Ph.D., have developed an experimental model to test and compare surgical techniques used in scoliosis surgery. Their work will be presented at this years Scoliosis Research Society meeting. Mauricio Silva, M.D., maintains one of the largest prospective pediatric trauma registries in the country. The analysis of this database has resulted in several recent JBJS publications that are likely to shape the evidence-based treatment of pediatric elbow fractures. He and Fabrizio Billi, Ph.D., are also collaborating with scientists in UCLAs School of Engineering to develop a wireless technology that can improve the fit and function of casts used to treat childrens fractures. In the field of motor disorders, Eileen Fowler, Ph.D., P.T., (pictured) and

    her team have recently developed and validated a method to measure selective motor control that can predict the success of surgery for patients with cerebral palsy. We are proud of the

    UCLA/Orthopaedic Hospital partnership and the significant contributions our pediatric orthopaedic clinicians and scientists have made. We look forward to further advances that help children overcome their musculoskeletal injuries and disease. The Orthopaedic Hospital Research Center remains dedicated to its founding principles. First, that major advances in understanding the pathobiology and management of those diseases that are most frequently encountered by the practicing orthopaedic surgeon (e.g., fractures, joint instability, etc.) can be best achieved by teams of scientists with expertise ranging from molecular biology to clinical care of patients. Second, understanding the developmental events that shape formation of the musculoskeletal system from fetal to adult life will inform us about the deconstruction of the system that happens with aging and disease. Third, that development of mouse models of common human orthopaedic disease, where genes in the mouse can be knocked out or amplified, will allow us to develop personalized-, molecularly-targeted preventative and treatment regimens. Finally, by bringing the cadre of clinician-scientists into a

  • 17

    common practice setting in the new Orthopaedic Hospital in at the Santa Monica-UCLA Medical Center and Orthopaedic Hospital, we hope to translate basic discoveries made in the Orthopaedic Hospital Research Center to a new standard of orthopaedic health care for both children and adults.

    Another study is focusing on bone formation as well as spinal fusion. We are utilizing bone graft substitutes along with the appropriate growth factors to optimize the healing of the spinal fusions through the least amount of invasiveness with minimally invasive techniques. Our previous studies have shown that with gene therapy, we have been able to achieve spinal fusion in a very efficient manner. We hope to optimize this with

    the use of new bone graft materials with new growth factors in order to obtain 100% spinal fusion ultimately, for our patients. We hope to start clinical trials in this soon. Another study we are looking at is the suppression of tumors. One of the growth factors that we have invented in our laboratory here at UCLA has shown an effect to inhibit BMP, bone morphogenic growth factors many tumors rely on to grow. We have shown the addition of this novel growth factor can suppress the growth of tumor cells. We have initiated a project where we are attempting to use this novel protein to inhibit the growth of tumors. We ultimately hope that this will act as a new therapeutic method in the fight against cancer. A new technology of dynamic MRI imaging will allow us to identify the pathology for patients with spine problems. We have previously published over 18 scientific articles, looking at the effect of dynamic motion MRI in identifying spinal pathology. We are perfecting this technique and hope to institute this as a part of our standard treatment protocol for patients with spinal problems.

    RESEARCH: THE UCLA SPINE PROGRAM The Spine Service continues to explore new areas in both basic science and clinical research in the area of spinal disorders. We have a world-class laboratory that continues to attract surgeons on an international level to come and participate in our research efforts. We have seven ongoing international fellowships for surgeons to come and collaborate on our research projects. One of our publications was named the outstanding paper award this past year by The Spine Journal. We recently received an OREF (Orthopaedic Research and Education Foundation) grant for starting a biologics registry for spinal fusion. Our basic science efforts encompass several novel projects for regeneration of the spinal tissues/discs. We are utilizing the most novel gene therapy transfer techniques along with pleuripotent stem cells in order to regenerate the disc. Through our previous work of injecting growth factors into disc, we have been able to generate these discs in our prior studies. We are trying to optimize this effect with the addition of stem cell technology to optimize the number of cells, the concentration of growth factors, as well as the optimal gene transfer in order to perfect the best technique to regenerate the disc. We hope that this will soon move from the animal models into human trials.

    The Division of Sports Medicine continues to be productive in a number of research areas. Our orthopaedic biomechanics lab has expanded with the addition of Daniel Boguszewski, Ph.D. Dr. Boguszewski obtained his Ph.D. from the University of Cincinnati where he developed expertise with a sophisticated robotic testing apparatus. We recently acquired an industrial robot (pictured on next page) for mechanical testing and are looking forward to coupling this exciting new technique with existing techniques pioneered by Keith Markolf, Ph.D. Our bioengineers, along with Drs. David McAllister and Frank Petrigliano, have formed a new collaboration with the UCLA Electrical Engineering Department Wireless Health initiative to develop novel ways to measure knee biomechanics and knee injury mechanisms in patients. Drs. McAllister and Petrigliano have established a lab at the Greater Los Angeles VA Medical Center and continue to collaborate with Ben Wu, D.D.S., Ph.D. in the Department of
