Our Orthopaedic Research program began in 2003 and has thrived over the past 16 years, achieving many meaningful goals and milestones. Thanks to donations from our community, we constructed the Hip and Knee Institute in 2009 to house our world-class research program, creating a centre of capability and expertise that is unmatched elsewhere in the world. Over the past 16 years, our research has stretched from the benchtop to the bedside and beyond.
On the benchtop, our engineering staff and machines have evaluated dozens of joint replacement devices for quality and safety before being used in the clinic. At the bedside, our clinical staff and systems have monitored patient well-being and joint replacement success through innovative, proven means. Chasing what’s next, our scientific staff and equipment have assessed joint replacement failures, pinpointing the root cause for future devices to learn from and avoid.
The Concordia Hip and Knee Institute and the Orthopaedic Research program were built by Manitobans to be like no other.
This research will directly impact those suffering from arthritis and other musculoskeletal diseases within the catchment area of Concordia’s orthopaedic program; all of Manitoba, Nunavut, eastern Saskatchewan, and western Ontario. The majority of the 1900 joint replacement patients cared for each year at Concordia Hospital are 55-80 years of age, but can extend to patients as young as 16 and as old as 105. We anticipate the greatest benefit will be to our younger patient population (45-65 years) who are generally active individuals with many important functional needs to be met such as work, family, exercise, sport and leisure. Our older patient population will also receive benefit through a rapid return to function and pain-free mobility, allowing them to be active in the community and economy through part-time work, volunteering, philanthropy, and travel/tourism within Manitoba. This research will also impact the world through publications in top-tier international medical journals which drive best practices for care.
The Concordia Joint Replacement Group has had a long history of research which has resulted in direct, tangible benefit to our patients:
The focus of the Research Chair will be to continue along these same pathways through the following projects:
Concordia Arthroplasty Research Chair funds will be used for operating costs associated with the research projects outlined by the Chair’s research directive. Such costs will include; research and engineering staff, project supplies and consumables, laboratory usage, equipment maintenance and modification, new equipment purchases, costs associated with publishing and presenting the work (delivering local and international impact).
Advancing Hip and Knee Joint Replacement Research in Manitoba
June 30, 2021 – Winnipeg, Manitoba. Today Research Manitoba and the Concordia Foundation announced a partnership and $500,000 in research funding to support Dr. Thomas Turgeon as the Arthroplasty Research Chair at Concordia’s Hip and Knee Replacement Institute. This five-year Research Chair position will allow Dr. Turgeon and researchers at Concordia's Hip and Knee Institute to take a step forward in delivering world-class treatment, improving operating room efficiencies, and accelerating innovative approaches to healing the growing number of Manitobans living with hip and knee pain and disability.
“These kinds of strategic partnerships are key to helping research dollars go further and enable changes that can benefit Manitobans, including reducing wait times, improve access to care and ensure patient safety,” said Minister Kelvin Goertzen, Acting Minister of Manitoba Health and Seniors Care. “I want to thank all the partners for their hard work in making this new project a reality, as well as Research Manitoba for leading this initiative to support a healthy future for people across the province.”
“We are very excited to be partnering with the Concordia Foundation on this important project. Advancements in care require research in many areas. This project will support our shared commitment to excellence by enabling Dr. Turgeon and his team to accelerate their research to help Manitobans get back on their feet and improve their lives.” Ms. Karen Dunlop, CEO, Research Manitoba.
“Thanks to the enormous giving spirit of so many Manitobans, the Hip and Knee Institute will be able to build its team, accelerate the pace of research, publish findings faster, and connect sooner with partners worldwide who can help us bring innovative care to Manitobans when they need us most.” Mr. Roger Gripp, Chair of the Board of the Concordia Foundation. "Hip and knee surgery has an incredible impact on patients and their quality of life. The Concordia Foundation is proud to support and empower Dr. Turgeon and his team of dedicated researchers and grateful to the donors, patients, and Research Manitoba for making this opportunity a reality.”
Dr. Turgeon has been the head of research at Concordia Hospital in Winnipeg for eight years, as well as Associate Professor - Department of Surgery, Director of Arthroplasty Research, Fellowship Director, Hip and Knee Arthroplasty, Max Rady College of Medicine, Rady Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Manitoba.
“Data from research — including clinical trials, hip and knee implant analysis, and laboratory testing, conducted right here at home and in partnership with leading institutions worldwide — will ensure that new processes, techniques, and technologies put into practice by Concordia researchers will lead to the best possible outcomes for patients,” said Dr. Thomas Turgeon, Concordia Joint Replacement Group and the Concordia Hip and Knee Institute. "Advanced training and education are also priorities, which will ensure creating a healthier tomorrow for Manitobans and a bright future for arthroplasty research in the province.”
