Patellofemoral Traveling Fellowship
Sponsored by The Patellofemoral Foundation, Inc. and DJO Inc.
The first ISAKOS Patellofemoral Traveling Fellowship was awarded in 2005 on behalf of ISAKOS and the Patellofemoral Foundation (PFF) providing one opportunity per year for a young orthopaedic surgeon to travel to various medical sites around the world to learn more about patellofemoral disease and how well-respected expert physicians, surgeons and therapists are treating it. At each site the traveling fellow participates in patellofemoral research, patellofemoral surgical procedures, patient management or cadaver dissections in order to broaden their knowledge of the disease. The knowledge learned by the travelling fellow is invaluable and is then passed on to contemporaries, and patients.
In 2011 the ISAKOS Patellofemoral Traveling Fellowship program expanded to provide two fellowships per year with support from DJO Inc.
The Patellofemoral Traveling Fellowships are available on a competitive basis to young orthopaedic surgeons interested in the study and advancement of understanding of the patellofemoral joint. The purpose of the fellowship is to promote better understanding and communication around the world regarding patellofemoral pain.
Application Requirements
Applicants are required to submit two short essays (250 words or less), two letters of recommendation and their curriculum vitae. The first short essay must indicate their interest in the patellofemoral joint and reasons for applying for the fellowship and the second short essay should indicate their Academic Goals and Teaching Opportunities. Please ensure submitted CVs include orthopaedic training, including fellowships, list of publications and awards.
All applications must be submitted by September 01, 2012.
Review Process
Applications will be reviewed and winners will be selected by representatives of the ISAKOS Knee Committee and The Patellofemoral Foundation. Preference will be given to young orthopaedic surgeons who have established an academic record of accomplishment.
Fellowship
Fellowships are awarded once every two years during the ISAKOS Biennial Congress. The four recipients will receive waived registration to the ISAKOS congress and will be presented with a framed certificate during the awards ceremony at the ISAKOS Congress.
For each fellowship recipient, ISAKOS will provide a stipend of US $5,000 to permit visits to several centers, worldwide, that offer opportunities to learn about the complexities of patellofemoral pain. Fellows must complete travel within the designated term and are encouraged, but not required, to travel together.

American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine/Smith & Nephew Innovative Outcomes Assessment Grant
AOSSM is pleased to announce a new grant sponsored by Smith & Nephew to support development of innovative approaches to measuring the effects of surgical procedures in orthopaedic sports medicine. This $25,000 grant is meant to advance the evaluation of clinical outcomes related to surgery by encouraging development of novel approaches, techniques, and/or methodology that will facilitate and enhance clinical research. Examples might include new web-based instruments to allow inter-institutional collaborative efforts, tools to quantify joint laxity, or innovative methods to measure the results of arthroscopic procedures about the hip. The intent of this award is to provide start-up funding for the development of tools and/or technology that can be leveraged and used for future, larger-scale clinical research studies.
Applications for this grant will be judged on three criteria:
• Innovation • Feasibility • Clinical Significance
The proposal should define the limitations with currently available assessments, clearly describe the proposed innovative approach, state how the new assessment will be tested, and discuss the clinical significance of this novel method to the field if successful. Because this grant is intended to foster new ideas and creativity, prior data related to the innovation is not required but can be presented to establish feasibility. Deadline for applications is April 17, 2012. The principal investigator or a co-investigator must be an AOSSM member in good standing.
All information should be submitted in one pdf document to Bart Mann, AOSSM Director of Research.
AOSSM gratefully acknowledges Smith & Nephew for the educational grant to support this activity.
