They will be
learning the latest techniques in knee replacement surgery from physicians who
are members of Franciscan Physician
Network Joint Replacement Surgeons, the practice group affiliated with the Center
for Hip & Knee Surgery at the Mooresville campus.
Four international
candidates selected for the John N. Insall
Travelling Fellowship, sponsored by The Knee Society, will visit the
hospital Oct. 22-24. They are
Duncan Jacks, MD., Royal Jubilee Hospital, Victoria, British
Columbia, Canada; Mislav Jelic, MD, Clinical Hospital Center Zagreb, University
of Zagreb, Zagreb, Croatia; Jianhao Lin, MD, Peking University People’s
Hospital, Beijing, China; and Fabio Orozco, MD, Rothman Institute, Thomas
Jefferson University Hospital, Philadelphia.
“Members
of this prestigious group were selected for their surgical skills and research,
and we are honored to host them at our center to learn about the work we
perform,” said Michael Berend, MD, an orthopedic surgeon with the center, a Knee
Society member and an Insall Fellow himself in 2004. “To be one of only 10
centers in the world to host the fellowship is a great honor for us. We hope to
share with them many of the latest surgical techniques we have developed at the
center.”
Other
Knee Society members at the Mooresville center are Drs. John B. Meding, Philip
M. Faris and E. Michael Keating. The center’s Robert Malinzak, MD, was chosen
as an Insall fellow last year.
The Mooresville center is recognized in the United States and the world
as a premier center for joint replacement surgery.
