Friday, May 4th, 2012
Architect Rich Granoff, ONS Foundation Vice President Vicki Leeds Tananbaum and President Paul Sethi, MD officially open the new Arthroscopy, Surgical Skills and Bichomechanics Laboratory.
The ONS Foundation for Clinical Research and Education celebrated the completion of their new Arthroscopy, Surgical Skills and Biomechanical Laboratory at a grand opening and “Tee-off” party on April 26th. Donors and surgeons alike mingled around stainless steel arthroscopy stations soon to be the hub of orthopedic and neurosurgical research and surgical skills training for surgeons from around the world.
After just four years of planning, the ONS Foundation, a Greenwich Hospital alliance, has completed the half million dollar facility, located on the lower level of the medical offices of ONS at 6 Greenwich Office Park. According to orthopedic surgeon and ONS Foundation President Dr. Paul Sethi, the new facility will provide the ultimate opportunity for physicians to critically evaluate arthroscopic surgery techniques in a laboratory setting. He anticipates the lab to become a regional center for medical innovation.

The lab will also be the site for surgical training. Work gets underway this month when a team of surgeons from Germany arrives to study sports medicine. Later in May, a group of American surgeons will study total ankle replacement. In June, surgeons from China will study techniques in knee arthroscopy.

ONS Foundation Golf Outing Co-chairs Vicki Leeds Tananbaum and Dr. Michael Clain
At a recent donors’ event and kick off for the ONS Foundation Golf Outing held at Miller Motorcars on West Putnam Avenue, co-chairs Vicki Leeds Tananbaum and Michael Clain, MD unveiled the architectural drawings for the soon to be constructed ONS Foundation laboratory for arthroscopy, surgical skills and biomechanics. Funds to build the state-of-the-art facility were raised at last year’s golf outing held at Winged Foot Golf Club. This year, on Monday, June 13, the ONS Foundation for Clinical Research and Education in conjunction with Greenwich Hospital will hold the 3rd Annual ONS Foundation Golf Outing at The Stanwich Club on North Street. ONS Foundation vice president Vicki Leeds Tananbaum and orthopedic surgeon Dr. Michael R. Clain will return as co-chairs for the event. In keeping with the continuing theme of the annual event, Linking Knowledge to Motion, proceeds from this year’s event will support clinical research.
“With people striving to maintain a high activity level throughout their lives, the incidence of shoulder rotator cuff tears requiring surgery is on the rise,” said ONS Foundation President and Founder Paul Sethi, MD. “Proceeds from this year’s outing will go towards a clinical study to identify factors that enhance or inhibit healing. Patient outcomes will be evaluated, validated and the results will be shared with the medical community. The study proposal has been approved by the Greenwich Hospital Institutional Review Board. The research will be utilized to improve patient treatment and healing rates of rotator cuff surgeries.” (more…)
