The Steadman Hawkins Research Foundation annual report for 2004 summarizes the organization's activities and achievements over the previous year. The report discusses the Foundation's continued research into improving cartilage healing techniques like microfracture. It also describes the large clinical research database maintained by the Foundation and its use in identifying risk factors for arthritis. Additionally, the report provides an overview of the biomechanics research laboratory's work on developing three-dimensional joint models. The Foundation ranked first in publications in top orthopaedic journals compared to other academic programs. Overall, the report shows the organization's ongoing efforts to advance minimally invasive surgical techniques and joint preservation methods to help people of all ages remain physically active.

4. The Year in Review
Dear Friends:
In this 2004 Annual Report you will read about the work and achievements of our dedicated staff. You
will learn of the discoveries of Dr.William G. Rodkey, Director of Basic Science Research and a leading
contributor to the universal success of microfracture, a procedure to grow repair cartilage. In 2004,
Dr. Rodkey’s Basic Science Research team continued to work on improving microfracture and cartilage
healing. For the first time, they were able to demonstrate that an experimental model of cartilage
healing using gene therapy can be used to successfully enhance the growth and repair of cartilage.
In the Clinical Research Department, Karen Briggs, M.P.H., M.B.A., has maintained the largest database of surgical details and outcomes
in the world, with comprehensive records of more than 12,000 knee and nearly 3,000 shoulder surgeries. The information stored in the
database has been the source for numerous peer-reviewed publications written by the Foundation. More importantly, the work of Ms. Briggs
has allowed researchers to identify risk factors for arthritis and has led to significant discoveries that will help prevent this leading cause of
disability worldwide.
Dr. Michael R. Torry and his team in the Biomechanics Research Laboratory are successfully mapping joints and creating three-
dimensional models that mimic natural movements and pressures. Using computer technology, they are determining how muscles, tendons, and
ligaments are stressed during various activities. Knowing how and why injury and disease occur can be the first step in successful prevention
and treatment. Though still in its infancy, three-dimensional modeling is giving physicians and researchers incredible views and increased
understanding of why less-invasive surgical treatments are effective in restoring normal load bearing in joints. This understanding will allow
physicians to select procedures that are most appropriate for the individual patient. The development of a virtual shoulder model has been a
top priority for the laboratory and in 2004 the work continued to scientifically validate the model. Once in use, this technology will help us
understand how the shoulder moves and which muscles and ligaments are involved.
Academic medicine continues to take notice of our research. The number of publications in medical journals is a primary consideration
in assessing the strength of an academic department or organization. The three major medical journals in orthopaedic sports medicine are
the Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, the American Journal of Sports Medicine, and Arthroscopy. The Foundation tracked its number of
publications in these journals from 2002 to 2004 and compared the results to four other top academic programs. The Steadman◆Hawkins
Research Foundation ranked first in number of publications in these three journals. This is important to us because we want to be sure that
our research findings are disseminated to the broader world of orthopaedics for the benefit of mankind. But publications would be just basic
research reports without practical application. In this report you will meet Al Perkins and learn of his 25-year journey to remain active so
he could continue to participate in his son’s activities. His search allowed him to benefit from the Foundation’s development of joint
preservation techniques.
For 16 years, we’ve helped people such as Al perform at their highest level possible, but the name “Sports Medicine” implies that we
only treat athletes. In reality, our research has benefited people from all walks of life. And thanks to our many donors and supporters, the
Foundation is a world leader in orthopaedic research. Because of this, we changed our name to the Steadman◆Hawkins Research Foundation.
2

5. We’re giving credit where credit is due. This Foundation was created for the
purpose of keeping people active for life—elite athletes, weekend warriors, high
school heroes, mid-lifers, and even those of us who hung up our skis, cleats, and
baseball gloves many years ago. We all benefit from the work of the Steadman◆
Hawkins Research Foundation, and the Foundation benefits tremendously from
you. Since 1990, the Foundation has spent $25 million on research, education, and
support programs. We could not have done this without the commitment, dollars,
and concerns of many individuals.
The desire of each of us to lead a full, active life has been the driving force
for the groundbreaking treatment protocols pioneered by the Foundation and its
unique philosophy of treating and helping prevent degenerative arthritis. Because
we believe that the body’s own tissue is the optimum restorative medium, we’re
focused on how the body heals itself and on developing leading-edge research and
treatment techniques to harness and accelerate that ability.
But our commitment does not end here. We’re also dedicated to sharing
what we learn through our world-renowned Fellowship Program, thousands of
scientific research papers and presentations, and a clinical database. Of course,
there’s a great deal more to be done and we need continued support to do it.
Our core values haven’t changed, and our dedication will never waiver. It’s
an exciting time at the Steadman◆Hawkins Research Foundation—one we hope to
share with you.
Sincerely yours,
J. Richard Steadman, M.D.
