The Department of Orthopaedic Surgery + Rehabilitation Medicine
2013–2014 ANNUAL REPORT
Cobb Lecture Hall/Henry Ives Cobb
In this year’s annual report, we feature a few of the more notable buildings on campus that capture an astonishing range of architectural styles.
From gothic to contemporary, the architecture of the University of Chicago has been created by some of the world’s most innovative and
well-known designers and firms. On the cover (front and back): The Frederick C. Robie House is one of Frank Lloyd Wright’s master works. It is
often cited as the greatest example of the Prairie School style, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
There is but one word to describe the work that has gone on in our department in the past year— AWESOME! The past twenty months have been a whirlwind of activity in moving forward with our new Depart-ment of Orthopaedic Surgery and Rehabilitation Medicine.
Our paramount focus has remained patient service and access. We are committed to meeting or exceeding the patient experience offered by any community orthopaedic practice, with new standards for efficient, friendly and convenient operations. We are building an atmosphere where the answer to just about every patient request will be “yes,” and that atmosphere is already driving significant improvements in patient satisfaction and volumes. Out-patient visits increased 38% from FY13
to FY14. Surgical cases jumped from 2,700 to over 3,400 during the same period—higher than they have ever been in the history of orthopaedic surgery at the University of Chicago.
New recruitments have helped us advance on this goal. In the past 18 months, five outstanding faculty have joined our department. James Mok, MD, resurrected the orthopaedic spine program and, in less than a year, was so effective in outreach and patient service that he was seeing three times as many patients as all other spine providers at UCM combined. Richard Kang, MD, a sports medicine specialist skilled in minimally invasive and arthroscopic procedures for the hip, came on board to spearhead our hip preservation program. Ryan Hudson, MD, who provides ultra-sound guided minimally invasive procedures for sports injuries, has added immensely to our nonsurgical sports capabilities. Muyibat Adelani, MD, who focuses primarily on patients who need joint replacement surgery, has provided excellent quality and capacity to our joint replacement program. Michael Lee, MD, a spine surgeon specializing in injuries, degenerative conditions and spinal deformity, will work with James to make us leaders in mini-mally invasive spinal surgery in the Chicago marketplace.
Common among all of these new faculty—as well as our established faculty—is a deep interest in using research to improve clinical outcomes. My own sights for the department are
closely trained on developing metrics for value-based care—careful evalu-ation of medical quality versus cost over time. We aim to integrate data collection on these factors much more directly into our EPIC electronic medical records system. For instance, we want to push out brief quality-of-life surveys to our patients over time and then use that data to help assess cost versus outcomes, informing best practice, producing scholarly works and leading national discussions on healthcare policy. To assist us in this endeavor, we are also building collaborations with the Booth Graduate School of Business, the Harris School of Public Policy, the Department of Economics, and the Center for Health and the Social Sciences. I think the University of Chicago is ideally positioned to become a national leader in demon-strating the value of quality, thoughtful musculoskeletal care. My dream is that our new Department of Ortho-paedic Surgery and Rehabilitation Medicine becomes known as a leader in this area, leadership that we can extend through our educational programs.
I am excited about the outstanding progress we have already made, as well as the opportunities ahead to advance orthopaedics at the University of Chicago and on a national level.

Education
Working toward fulfilling the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and Rehabilitation Medicine’s mission to communicate knowledge through medical education, our faculty continue to be active in all levels of medical education.
William Rainey Harper Memorial Library/Shepley, Rutan & Coolidge
During the M3 year, we provide a core course for three hours, which includes instruction in casting and splinting, and a series of interactive lectures on orthopaedic topics. During their surgery clerkship, third year medical students are given the option of selecting orthopaedic surgery as their subspecialty rotation for 2.5 weeks. During this 2.5 week rotation, the junior medical students are introduced to the field of ortho-paedics and given the opportunity to experience first-hand the rewarding yet challenging work we do.
During the M4 year, we offer a four-week elective inpatient rotation. Students are exposed to the various orthopaedic subspecialties during this rotation. In addition to our own students from Pritzker, this rotation is very popular with visiting students from other institutions as well. We also offer an outpatient elective, which is aimed towards students entering into primary care fields. Year after year, we continue to see many of our own students choose ortho-paedics as a career.
Our residency program continued to flourish over the past year and has been greatly strengthened by the academic affiliation with the North-Shore University Health System (NSUHS). Through our affiliation with NorthShore, our residents rotate at Evanston Hospital, a designated Level I trauma center, and Glenbrook Hospital, a community hospital in Glenview, Ill. All members are of the NSUHS faculty are fellowship-trained subspecialty
surgeons in well-established commu-nity practices. The individual practices of the faculty collectively provide an extensive, subspecialty-driven ambulatory experience in the evalu-ation and management of outpatient orthopaedic conditions. We have six residents training at NSUHS at a time on the total joint arthroplasty, foot and ankle, trauma, hand, sports medicine and spine services.
The majority of the resident educational program in orthopaedic surgery continues to occur at the University of Chicago Medical Center. The clinical education is centered around inpatient units, on-site and off-site outpatient clinics, and the operating room. The management of patients is divided into clinical services that include joint reconstruc-tion including hip preservation, spine, oncology, pediatrics, foot and ankle, hand and upper extremity, and sports medicine. Our curriculum is organized through these subspecialties and teams of residents are assigned to each service.
The didactic portion of the residents’ education occurs mainly through the morning clinical conferences. Our 6:15 am conference is a monthly rotating conference on pediatric orthopaedics, trauma, basic science, morbidity and mortality, quality assurance, sports medicine, adult reconstruction, spine, hand and upper extremity, and surgical indications for musculoskeletal diseases. All of our conferences are attended and led by attendings. Following the 6:15 am
conferences, every weekday morning from 7:00 to 7:30 am, the junior resi-dent on-call presents the emergency room cases from the evening before. This serves as quality control and an educational experience for residents. After the emergency room review, all faculty are required to present their operative cases for the day and explain their operative indications. Following the faculty presentation, residents show radiographs of pa-tients who were operated on the day before, so that all individuals can see some of the technical results from the previous day’s surgery. In addition to our daily morning conferences, we also have a weekly Grand Rounds on Wednesdays and a monthly Journal Club. We are fortunate to have a large number of outside guest speakers present at our Grand Rounds.
Our four fellowship programs, Hand & Upper Extremity, under the direction of Dr. Daniel Mass; Sports Medicine, under the direction of Dr. Sherwin Ho; Musculoskeletal Oncol-ogy, under the direction of Dr. Rex Haydon; and Adult Reconstruction, based at Weiss Memorial Hospital, under the direction of Dr. Henry Finn, continue to train some of the nation’s brightest emerging ortho-paedic subspecialists. Staying at the forefront of orthopaedic medical education is a goal the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and Rehabilita-tion Medicine strives toward at every level of education.

Rehabilitation Medicine
That is why Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation (PM&R) is often thought of as the “quality of life” specialty, adding both life to years and years to life. Our physiatrists lead interdisciplinary teams that include nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, case managers and others. These teams develop individualized treatment plans to address each patient’s rehab needs. Treatment plans also focus on the patient’s longer term functional goals once they’re home in the community.
These doctors provide patient care on an inpatient and outpatient basis. They also participate in various teaching activities for Schwab’s fully accredited residency training program in PM&R with the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine.
At the University of Chicago, our PM&R specialists are involved in many educational and clinical pursuits. Mary Lawler, MD, serves as advisor to Pritzker students who are interested in PM&R as a specialty. Dr. Lawler also works with Cheryl Benjamin, DO, covering inpatient physiatry consultations at the University of Chicago. Michelle Gittler, MD, is the resident program director at Schwab Rehabilitation Hospital and clinical associate professor at the University of Chicago. Together with the resident physicians, Dr. Gittler has had two projects go through the Institutional Review Board; Participation in a multi-institutional program to establish an amputee registry, and initiation of a project which looks at the use of topical ketamine for residual limb pain. She also teaches annually at the Primary Care Orthopaedics Course.
Rehabilitation Medicine physicians work with other rehab professionals to restore or maximize each patient’s functional skills, self-sufficiency and mobility.

NorthShore Orthopaedic Program The orthopaedic program at North-Shore University HealthSystem is a valuable and robust component of the orthopaedic surgery graduate medical education program at the University of Chicago. Five resi-dents rotate continually through the NorthShore orthopaedic department with subspecialty rotations in total joint, foot and ankle, hand, trauma and spine. Currently, the University of Chicago and NorthShore orthopaedic departments facilitate two combined fellowship programs; Sports Medi-cine, and Hand and Upper Extremity. Live daily interactive video provides linkage and continuity to the Univer-sity of Chicago campus. Daily con-ferences on the NorthShore campus compliment the University of Chicago programs with hand, trauma, surgical outcomes, arthroscopic correlation, journal club and spine conferences. Residents have the opportunity to interact with numerous clinical faculty
and gain experience and exposure through the NorthShore Orthopaedic outpatient clinic, operating rooms, Evanston Hospital (level 1 trauma) ER, Ravine Way surgicenter and clini-cal offices of the faculty. They also participate in sub-specialty specific motor skills education programs in the NorthShore Orthopaedic Psychomotor Skills & Virtual Reality Laboratory featuring state-of-the-art skills education in trauma and arthroscopic surgery. Another integral component of the residency and fellowship programs is the real-world experience gained through managing the NorthShore Community Health Center (CHC) clinics. Residents man-age two clinics per week while hand and sports fellows each manage one clinic per month. The orthopaedic faculty and CHC co-directors provide overall supervision for the clinics. The CHC clinic provides residents and fellows the opportunity to assess and treat varying orthopaedic conditions from a wide patient population in preparation for their future practices.
2014 Wavering LectureThe annual lecture series hosted by the orthopaedic department at NorthShore was pleased to feature Dr. Tania Ferguson as the Wavering Lecture 2014 guest speaker. Dr. Ferguson had the distinct honor of being the first female visiting profes-sor for Wavering. Dr. Ferguson is an associate professor and hip and pelvis surgeon at the University of Washing-ton, Department of Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine. She presented, “The Anterior Approach for Hip Fractures—ORIF and Arthroplasty” and “Fragility Fractures of the Acetabulum—Leave it, Fix it or Replace it?” Dr. Ferguson’s cadaveric session demonstrated the “Ilioinguinal Exposure for Acetabular Fractures” and “Acute ORIF+THA via Levine Approach for Osteoporotic Acetabular Fractures.”

2013–2014 Annual Report 19
Center for Care and Discovery/Rafael Viñoly
Basic, clinical and translational research in orthopaedic science is an integrated part of our graduate medical education. Thus, in addition to the clinical and educational commitments, our faculty is actively involved in a broad range of research on bone and musculoskeletal diseases, which have been highlighted in the following areas.
The Orthopaedic Biomedical Imaging Institute As the director of The Orthopaedic Biomedical Imaging Institute, Dr. John Martell continues to develop collaborations with implant manufacturers and individual investigators. Dr. Martell’s research has been funded by grants from The Harris Foundation, NIH/NIAMS, Smith & Nephew, Stryker, Biomet and Zimmer. The Orthopaedic Biomedical Imaging Institute is known nationally
and internationally as a resource for the design and implementation of polyethylene wear studies and has been involved in the analysis of cross-linked polyethylene.
Dr. Martell accommodates requests from academic joint replacement programs to observe the techniques that are used in processing and analyzing films. The Orthopaedic Biomedical Imaging Institute has become a world-class resource for the analysis of polyethylene wear in total hip arthroplasty. The Institute has furthered its commitment to orthopaedic research by sponsoring the Geraldine Mary Maley Research Award, an annual research award for projects developed by faculty/residents in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and Rehabilitation Medicine at the University of Chicago.
Dr. Martell has recently developed several important and innovative biomedical imaging tools. First, mechanical analysis software allows investigators to estimate the joint reaction force and stress in normal and prosthetic hips. Using the joint stress as a predictor variable in combination with patient activity indicators (speed of walking, UCLA score or pedometer data), he has developed a multiple logistic regression model that can identify patients with total hips that are at risk for high wear and osteolysis in the long term. This model is now 87 percent accurate and has no false negatives in a series of 300 hips with minimum eight year follow-up.
Dr. Martell has partnered with Dr. Christian Heisel at Heidelberg University in Germany to investigate the biomechanical factors predisposing women to hip arthritis. Preliminary results show a significantly higher contact stress in the native hips of women patients compared to men. Factors that play a role in this finding are: a wider female pelvis, causing the body weight momentum to be larger, smaller femoral offset in women and smaller femoral heads, which increases contact stress. Dr. Martell is also working with Dr. William Walters from Australia to investigate the biomechanics of ceramic total hip arthroplasty to identify factors leading to squeaking in ceramic total hip arthroplasty.
Our mission is to inspire colleagues to create new knowledge, to communicate knowledge through medical education, and to provide superior and compassionate health care in a collegial atmosphere.
Research Activities
2013–2014 Annual Report 21
As an extension of the mechanical analysis software, Dr. Martell developed preoperative templating software which allows the surgeon to template pre-operatively using knowledge of the impact choices for stress and wear performance of the implanted prosthetic hip joint. This identifies reconstructive options that put the patient at risk for high wear, and assists the surgeon in choosing prosthetic position and designs to minimize this significant complication. Another modification of the mechanical analysis software allows the estimation of shear forces in the capital femoral epiphysis that predispose to slipped capital femoral epiphysis in children. These shear forces, in conjunction with the skeletal age of the pelvis, have a predictive value of 90 percent for the risk of SCFE.
Dr Martell has partnered with Argonne National Laboratories, and has received $20,000 through the BIASE initiative to fund a pilot project to develop a visual-tactile feedback system for use in minimally invasive robotic surgery. Preliminary testing of this video processing image analysis system has shown the capability to detect real-time suture strain rates that are 100 times lower than the strain to failure. Work now continues on perfecting the video processing, including and on measuring strains in sutures from archived clinical videos.Tendon and Ligament Injury RepairDrs. Daniel Mass, Sherwin Ho, Lewis L. Shi, and Jovito Angeles, in collaboration with Dr. T.-C. He, are investigating possible gene therapy approaches to enhancing tendon and ligament healing using recombinant adenoviral vectors expressing BMPs
and/or other biological factors. They have demonstrated that BMP-13 can significantly improve the biomechanical properties of lacerated flexor tendons in a rabbit model while BMP-14 is also shown to significantly improve the biomechanical properties of lacerated flexor tendons in a rabbit model. Based on time-course studies of gene expression after tendon injury, they identified several factors that may work alongside BMP-13 and BMP-14 at different stages of tendon healing. Dr. Shi is also investigating biological factors that may improve the healing of rotator cuff injuries.
Shoulder ResearchDr. Lewis L Shi is leading an active should research program, with multiple clinical and translational projects. In collaboration with Dr. T.-C. He, he is investigating biological factors that may improve the healing of rotator cuff injuries. He has an on-going IRB approved study examining patients undergoing shoulder arthroscopy, correlating the growth factors of the subacromial milieu to the condition and chronicity of cuff tears. The ultimate goal is to identify potential pharmacologic treatment to augment rotator cuff repairs in human patients.
Dr. Shi is leading several multi-centered shoulder clinical outcome studies. These are prospective randomized control trials studying the optimal methods of treatment for rotator cuff tears, biceps tendonitis, and labrum tears. He is also conducting several studies using the Marketscan, a national insurance claims database, to examine the patterns, complications, and the cost of shoulder surgery in the last decade.
Dr. Shi continues his collaborations with the several prestigious orthopaedic hospitals in China. In this past year he has co-authored several papers in PLoS One and Genetic Testing and Molecular Biomarkers on ankylosing spondylitis with investigators in 301 Military Hospital in Beijing. Additionally, his work on vascularized fibula graft with the Shanghai Sixth People’s Hospital has generated multiple podium presenta-tions at international conferences.
Foot and Ankle ResearchDr. Brian Toolan has focused on several clinical projects related to foot and ankle disorders. In the past, he studied the effects of acquired flatfoot deformity on tibiotalar contact pressures in a cadaveric model, and performed a follow-up study on the effects of UCBL orthotics and surgical techniques on joint contact characteristics in the same model. Both of these studies were published in Foot & Ankle International. He recently published a retrospective study in Foot & Ankle International comparing lateral column lengthening to a medial calcaneal osteotomy in the treatment of adult acquired flatfoot. He is currently conducted a similar comparison in a prospective clinical study that is currently ongoing. Lastly, he is retrospectively evaluating the results of a new procedure for salvaging malunited ankle fractures with chronic syndesmotic disruption using a distal fibular arthrodesis and soft tissue reconstructions.
In addition to his interests on flatfoot deformity, Dr. Toolan is interested developing a better understanding of ruptured Achilles
Orthopaedic Surgery + Rehabilitation Medicine22
tendon healing process and potentially developing new means in treating patients with this injury. Achilles tendon ruptures are common injuries and both surgical and non-surgical treatments have frequent complications such as wound dehiscence and re-rupture. Therefore, Dr. Toolan, in collaboration with Dr. He, has used a rat model to investigate the effects of BMP-14 and other factors on Achilles tendon healing, finding a 70 percent increase in tensile strength at two weeks.
Articular Cartilage Regeneration and Anterior Cruciate Ligament RepairThe Sports Medicine Service, consisting of Drs. Sherwin Ho, Martin Leland, and Richard Kang, has been intensively investigating the biological processes in articular cartilage regeneration, anterior cruciate ligament repair, and rotator cuff tear repair. Articular cartilage has little intrinsic capacity to repair itself after injury, prompting many researchers to explore new methods to facilitate and augment cartilage regeneration. Currently, a variety of approaches have been developed, including chondroplasty, osteochondral transfer procedures (autologous and allograft procedure), microfracture and autologous cultured chondrocyte implant (ACCI). Each of these techniques is useful when utilized in appropriate conditions; however, a significant cohort of patients still fail to achieve good to excellent results even when surgical, pharmacologic and physical therapy are optimal by current standards. These clinical failures suggest that new biologic strategies, including gene therapy, may be a
useful adjunct to current treatments to further improve clinical outcome.
Drs. Ho, Leland and Kang are investigating the possible use of Sox9 and/or other biofactors to facilitate articular cartilage regeneration. Previously, Drs. T.-C. He and Rex Haydon successfully transduced intervertebral disc cells with Sox9, a transcription factor necessary for chondrogenesis and Type II collagen synthesis. They observed that human degenerative intervertebral disc cells transfected with Sox9 genes led to chondrocyte proliferation with increased production of Type II collagen (Spine 28: 755-763). Currently, Drs. Ho, Leland and Kang are investigating whether exogenous expression of Sox9 in articular cartilage cells or in mesenchymal stem cells will augment articular cartilage repair in a rabbit model. This research has included experiments comparing different man-made scaffolds that can be used to implant these genetically altered cartilage cells back into the host knee defects (J Biomed Mater Res A. 2013, 101(12): 3542–50). In addition, Drs. Ho, Leland, and Kang are investigating the potential use of BMP-13 and/or PRP (platelet-rich plasma) for rotator cuff tears using a rat model, as possible treatment options for patellar tendonitis, and a unique approach to rehabilitation following ACL reconstruction surgery.
The Sports Medicine Service has developed a surgical skills laboratory for medical students, residents and fellows to develop their arthroscopic and minimally-invasive surgical skills using a state-of-the-art virtual
reality arthroscopy simulator (MIST) developed by the Spanish aerospace company GMV (based in Madrid), as well as with cadavers. Such virtual and simulated surgery represents important new educational tools for training medical students, residents and fellows.
Dr. Reider is also engaged in an ongoing clinical prospective cohort study of possible links between knee proprioception in collegiate soccer and basketball players. Dr. Reider’s previous research has shown that athletes with ACL tears have abnormal proprioception of the knee that returns to normal after ACL reconstruction. The current project prospectively measures proprioception in a large number of healthy athletes to see if those who go on to tear their ACL’s have deficient proprioception prior to the injury. Dr. Reider has also completed a study of degenerative meniscal tears, which has been submitted for publication.
2013–2014 Annual Report 23
Osteosarcoma is a “Differentiation Disease”Under the direction of T.-C. He, M.D., Ph.D., Rex C. Haydon, M.D., Ph.D., and Hue H. Luu, M.D. the Molecular Oncology Laboratory has focused on the molecular aspects of bone and soft tissue tumors through collaborations with Drs. Michael A. Simon and Anthony Montag. They previously found that β-catenin signaling is activated in approximately 70 percent of human osteosarcoma samples, suggesting that deregulation of β-catenin may play a role in the development of human osteosarcoma. They examined the expression of the S100A6 in human osteosarcoma, and found that approximately 84 percent of the analyzed osteosarcoma specimens stained positive for S100A6. Thus, their findings suggest that S100A6 may be associated with the pathogenesis of osteosarcoma (International Journal of Cancer 102:338–342; Clin Orthop Relat Res 466: 2060–2070, and Cancer Letters 229: 135–148). More recently, Drs. Haydon, Luu and He found that, while in mesenchymal stem cells BMP-2 and BMP-9 induce osteogenic differentiation, osteosarcoma cells are refractory to BMP-induced bone formation with increased increased cell proliferation, suggesting that blocks to normal BMP-induced differentiation must exist. Downstream targets of the osteogenic BMPs include several key inhibitors of differentiation that are commonly expressed in human tumors. They hypothesize that that osteosarcoma may represent a
“disease of differentiation,” possibly caused by the defects in the terminal differentiation pathway of pre-osteoblast and/or osteoblasts (Laboratory Investigation 88: 1264–1277; Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research 466: 2114–2130; Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research 454: 237–246; Clinical Cancer Research 16; 2235–2245, Clinical Cancer Research 8: 1288–1294). They are attempting to reconstruct osteosarcoma-like cells from mesenchymal stem cells by disrupting the differentiation pathway and enhancing proliferation activity of the progenitors. Consistent with “disease of differentiation” model, generic differentiation agents, such as PPARg agonists and retinoic acids were shown to promote osteogenic differentiation and inhibit osteosarcoma tumor growth (Clinical Cancer Research 16; 2235–2245; PPAR Research 2010: 956427; PLoS ONE 5: e11917).
Drs. He, Haydon and Luu developed a novel orthotopic tumor model for osteosarcoma progression and pulmonary metastasis (Clin Exp Metastasis 22: 319–329). This model highlights different stages of primary bone tumor progression and the eventual development of pulmonary metastasis. They are currently using this model to investigate several genes for their role in controlling bone tumorigenesis and metastasis. Meanwhile, they have conducted gene profiling analysis of gene expression patterns between non-metastatic and highly metastatic osteosarcoma cells, and have identified several promising candidate
genes associated with pulmonary metastasis of osteosarcoma. Further functional characterization of these target genes is currently ongoing (Clinical & Experimental Metastasis 26:599–610). They have recently reported that insulin-like growth factor binding protein 5 (IGFBP5) suppresses tumor growth and metastasis of human osteosarcoma (Oncogene 30(37):3907-17).
Effects of natural products and herbal extracts on cancer cells and stem cell differentiation: As natural products and herbs represent a great deal of resources for drug discovery, we have collaborated with Dr. Chun-Su Yuan of the Tang Center for Herbal Medicine Research and investigated the effect of several herbal products, such as Berberine and ginseng extracts, on cancer growth and proliferation, as well as on stem cell differentiation. Dr. He was one of the PIs on a P01 grant from the NIH to study the role of herbal products in cancer (International Journal of Oncology 32: 975–983; Oncol Rep 22: 943–952; Biol Pharm Bull 32: 1552–1558; Cancer Lett 289: 62–70; Mol Pharmacol 79(2): 211–9).
Molecular Biology of Bone FormationIdentification of BMP-9 as the most osteogenic BMP in vitro and in vivo. Although several BMPs (mostly BMP-2 and BMP-7) have been shown to induce bone formation, it is unclear whether the ones currently used represent the most osteogenic BMPs. Through a comprehensive analysis of the 14 types of human BMPs, the He, Haydon, and Luu lab previously
Orthopaedic Surgery + Rehabilitation Medicine24
demonstrated that BMP-2, BMP-6, and BMP-9 are the most potent osteogenic BMPs in osteoblastic progenitor cells in vitro, which was published in the Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery with over 500 citations so far. They have concluded several rounds of in vivo studies and found that BMP-2, BMP-6 and BMP-9 are the most potent osteogenic BMPs at inducing orthotopic bone formation in athymic mice (Gene Therapy 11: 1312–1320; J Orthop Res 25: 665–677; and Front Biosci 13: 2001–2021). Interestingly, they have also found that osteogenic BMPs can induce adipogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (Stem Cells and Development 18: 545–559). They have demonstrated that TGFbeta/BMP type I receptors ALK1 and ALK2 are essential for BMP-9-induced osteogenic signaling in mesenchymal stem cells (J Biol Chem. 285(38): 29588–98).
To identify potentially important mediators of BMP-induced osteo-genic signaling, Drs. He, Haydon and Luu determined the transcriptional differences between three osteogenic BMPs (i.e., BMP2, 6, and 9) and two inhibitory/non-osteogenic BMPs (i.e., BMP3 and 12). Through the microarray analysis in pre-osteoblast progenitor cells, they found that expression level of 203 genes (105 up-regulated and 98 down-regulated) was altered >2-fold upon osteogenic BMP stim-ulation. Gene ontology analysis revealed that osteogenic BMPs, but not inhibitory/non-osteogenic BMPs, activate genes involved in the prolif-eration of pre-osteoblast progenitor cells towards osteoblastic differen-
tiation, and simultaneously inhibit myoblast-specific gene expression. Their findings are consistent with the notion that osteogenesis and myo-genesis are two divergent processes (Journal of Cellular Biochemistry 90: 1149–1165). The Molecular Oncology Lab identified several potentially sig-naling mediators of BMP-induced os-teogenesis. Several such downstream targets are the Inhibitors of DNA bind-ing/Differentiation helix-loop-helix (a.k.a., Id proteins), Connective Tissue Growth Factor (a.k.a., CTGF), Hey1, and growth hormone. Their studies thus far have demonstrated that both Ids, CTGF, Hey1, and growth hormone play an important role in BMP-9 in-duced osteogenic signaling (Journal of Biological Chemistry 279: 32941–32949; Journal of Biological Chem-istry 279: 55958–55968; Journal of Biological Chemistry 284: 649–659; and J Bone Miner Res. 2012, 27(7): 1566–75).
Role of Wnt/β-catenin signaling in osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells: The He, Haydon and Luu group previously demonstrated that Wnt/β-catenin signaling is de-regulated in over 70 percent of human osteosarcomas. He, Haydon, and Luu lab have demonstrated that normal Wnt/β-catenin signaling is required for BMP-9 signaling in MSCs (Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine 13: 2448–2464). They have completed a microarray analysis on the genes regulated by Wnt3A in mesenchymal stem cells, and found that CTGF is also highly regulated by Wnt. They have recently finished a study, in which they demonstrate that CTGF
is a mutual target of Wnt and BMP-9 and play an important role in regulating osteogenic differentiation (Journal of Biological Chemistry 279: 55958–55968; Molecular and Cellular Biology 26: 2955–2964. Furthermore, Drs. He, Haydon and Luu have recently investigated the potential synergistic effect of other factors on BMP-9-mediated osteogenic differentiation and bone formation. Such factors include retinoid receptors, IGFs, Wnts, growth hormone, HIF1a, and EGF (PLoS ONE 5: e11917, Journal of Bone and Mineral Research 25: 2447–59, Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine 13 (8B): 2448–2464; Journal of Bone and Mineral Research 27 (7): 1566–1575, Journal of Cell Science 126: 532–541; and Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine 17 (9): 1160–1172.

ABC FellowshipAfter the fellowship was firmly es-tablished in the 1950s, the principle emerged that North American fellows (from Canada and the U.S.) would travel to the UK and either South Africa or Australia/New Zealand on odd-numbered years, and fellows from the other countries would travel to North America on even-numbered years. Dr. Luu and the 2015 ABC Fellows will travel for five weeks next spring to the UK, Australia and New Zealand.
The ABC has always been, and remains today, one of the highest honors a young academic orthopaedist in North America can receive. We are very proud to have in our department three faculty who were previously honored as ABC Fellows: Michael Simon, MD (1983), Douglas R. Dirschl, MD (2001) and Rex Haydon, MD, PhD (2005)
Midway Crossings/Bauer Latoza and James Carpenter Design Associates
Congratulations to Hue H. Luu, MD awarded the American British Canadian (ABC) Traveling Fellowship from the American Orthopaedic Association
The ABC traveling fellowship was established shortly after the end of World War II as a means of enabling American and British orthopaedic surgeons to continue some of the sharing of ideas and techniques that they were able to institute during the war.

Orthopaedic Surgery + Rehabilitation Medicine38
In MemoriamDr. Enneking graduated from the University of Wisconsin medical school in 1949. He completed his internship at the University of Colorado in Denver in 1950 and began an orthopaedic residency at the University of Chicago that was soon interrupted by his service in the Korean War. He was initially stationed at the San Diego Naval hospital but then served two years in a forward MASH unit on the Korean Peninsula. Returning home from the war, Dr. Enneking returned to Chicago where he resumed his orthopaedic surgery residency. He trained under Dr. Howard Hatcher, then the leading figure in the field of orthopaedic oncology.
His first academic posting was to the University of Mississippi at the age of 29 where he was the chief of orthopaedic surgery for four years. In 1960, Dean William Harrell recruited Dr. Enneking to help establish the first medical school for the state of Florida. Along with Dr. Edward Woodward, another University of Chicago alumnus, they founded the Department of Surgery and the Division of Orthopaedic Surgery at the University of Florida (UF). Eventually the division be-came its own department and Dr. Enneking was its first chairman. He and the other founding members of the medical school faculty remained at UF for their entire careers. They gave the institution its unique blend of stature and loyalty that enabled it to prosper and evolve into the vibrant institution that it is today.
Over the course of his professional life, Dr. Enneking became a leader in the world of orthopaedic surgery and an international icon. His list of awards and honors is too numerous to list. Of note, he received the Kappa Delta award three times; this award is given to the leading researcher in U.S. orthopaedics. He was the president of multiple national and international societies including the American Orthopaedic Association and the International Society of Limb Salvage. He was the sole author of six books on the diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal tumors and disease. He also jointly published a voluminous number of articles and books.
A memorial service in his honor was held on July 26, 2014 at Queen of Peace Catholic Church in Gainesville, Florida.
William (Bill) Fisher Enneking, MD
William Fisher Enneking, MD, died peacefully on July 17, 2014. Bill, as he was always known, was born in Madison, Wisconsin on May 9, 1926. Bill grew up in Madison, with a life centered on sailing, competitive athletics and the outdoors. He graduated from the University of Wisconsin High School in 1943. On the advice of his father, he immediately enlisted in the armed services so he could choose his branch of service that was, of course, the Navy.
