John Clohisy, MD, the Daniel C. and Betty B. Viehmann Distinguished Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, has been awarded the Kappa Delta Elizabeth Winston Lanier Award, as part of his work with the Academic Network of Conservational Hip Outcomes Research (ANCHOR) group. The honor, from the Kappa Delta Sorority and the Kappa Delta Foundation, recognizes high-impact research in orthopedic surgery.
The award, presented to Clohisy at the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons Annual Meeting, honors 20 years of research that has been conducted by the ANCHOR group and that has improved the quality of care for adolescent and young adult patients with pre-arthritic hip conditions. Clohisy is the principal investigator and one of several leading orthopedic surgeons who founded the multicenter clinical research group in 2007. The group is based at Washington University and includes 39 surgeons at 24 institutions.
