Enhancing Quality of Life Through the Science of Orthopaedic Medicine
“A GREAT TEAM” “For a while, I wasn’t even sure I’d use my left arm or left leg again,” explains Campbell Clinic patient Katina Lewis, 50. For 18 months, she was under the care of Campbell Clinic orthopaedic trauma surgeon Dr. Chris Cosgrove, following a horrendous car wreck. “They talked me through the process and prepared me for what I had to endure. That built trust.” Lewis is one of thousands of patients who encounter Campbell Clinic

staff and residents at Regional One Health due to a traumatic incident. This team—and the care they deliver—has a profound impact on surgeon training and on the patients they serve. “They’re a great team,” adds Lewis. “What makes our program unique is the constant deluge of high-energy, complex trauma that is seen in few other places around the country,” Campbell Clinic’s Dr. Cosgrove
explained. “The few trauma centers that consistently do this volume of work typically also have a large number of orthopaedic trauma fellows. With only one fellow at our program, our residents are expected to achieve a high degree of surgical prowess.” The 40 residents’ trauma training is a cornerstone of the residency Continued on page 3
COVER STORY
Letter From the Board Chair Dear Friends, As a generous supporter of the Campbell Clinic Foundation, YOU have made our growth and impact possible. As Foundation Chair, I can personally attest to the impact YOU make each time you volunteer, share ideas and make a gift. We facilitate more than 150 orthopaedic studies each year to improve patient care. One study compares the postoperative outcomes between patients who complete their physical therapy using a virtual tool to those who complete their therapy in the office. In another study, the pediatric orthopaedic team is studying the efficacy of monitoring scoliosis from home using a cell phone to obtain imaging, providing more convenient care and decreased radiation exposure. And I’m sure you are aware of the popularity of pickleball! Since

Honoring Dr. Benjamin Mauck On behalf of the entire Campbell family, thank you for the outpouring of prayers and support throughout this year. Dr. Benjamin Mauck’s tragic death has left all of us heartbroken. Dr. Mauck was a brilliant surgeon, dedicated colleague, loyal friend and model teacher. In addition, he upheld our Foundation pillars through research on the adult hand, directing the hand fellowship program, and providing orthopaedic care to children and adults with some of the most challenging conditions. Your sentiments and stories have

program. Each resident has a three-month trauma rotation during each of their five years. “So, in total, almost a quarter of their residency is spent at Regional One,” Cosgrove said. The flood of patients forces residents to coordinate closely with other physicians, he said. “This experience has helped me learn how to make clinical and operative decisions in stressful situations,” said Dr. Clayton Wing, senior resident. Both uninsured and underinsured patients are served, many of whom have minimal access to health care and may have chronic illnesses. Campbell Clinic Trauma Fellowship Director, Dr. John Weinlein, explains, “Teaching residents and fellows allows us to have an exponential impact on the community and patients’ well-being that could not be achieved by just being involved in direct patient care.” While working at Regional One, a Level I Trauma Center, resident Dr. David Cooper learned how to perform surgery. “It has made me a very competent surgeon independently. If you’ve never had this kind of experience, when you get out (of residency) and are starting to practice, then I think that can be a big adjustment for a lot of people,” Cooper said. “But I’m already very comfortable performing surgery.” The challenging experience teaches skills and fundamentals that the young doctors can apply anywhere, regardless of their subspecialty in the future. Gunshot and knife wounds, car and motorcycle accidents, and industrial accidents are trauma situations that Campbell Clinic residents encounter daily. “A bullet can hit any bone anywhere and cause unusual fractures that can be difficult or more challenging to fix,” Cooper said.

fast paced and intense, it’s one where lasting relationships with patients are created.
The trauma program began in 1983, when Campbell Clinic, under the leadership of Dr. Toney Russell (class of 1980), helped launch the Elvis Presley Trauma Center within Regional One. The center was modeled after the ground-breaking Shock Trauma Center at the University of Maryland Medical Center in Baltimore, MD. “This was the first time that complex trauma could be referred to and treated by specialist surgeons who were trained, ready to go, and able to offer patients the best chance of survival and recovery,” Russell said. While the trauma environment is very
Nancy Antone, 72, is another one of our grateful patients. She was working in her yard when she fell in late 2022, breaking the top of her right leg’s femur. During the next year, she underwent five surgeries— once to implant a metal rod, once to address an E. coli infection, a third operation to replace the incorrectly situated rod with an antibiotic one, a fourth operation to implant an all-new metal rod, then finally a knee replacement. After her original operation, Antone consulted with Dr. Marc Mihalko, then went under the care of Drs. Cosgrove and Gregory Dabov. “I could have lost my leg, or I could have lost my life if Dr. Mihalko had not seen the problem. I am so thankful to be walking,”says Antone.

Campbell Honors on a Local and International Scale Throughout the summer and fall, events and recognition have demonstrated how the Campbell impact is felt at home and throughout the world. Harkess Named Health Care Hero In August, Dr. James Harkess was honored as one of the Memphis Business Journal’s 2023 Health Care Heroes in the Health Care Provider, Physician category. Dr. Harkess is a total joint replacement subspecialist at Campbell Clinic and Baptist Memorial Health Care, as well as an Associate Professor in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and Biomedical Engineering at UTHSC Campbell Clinic. In 2022, the Campbell Clinic Foundation’s James W. Harkess, MD Total Joint Education Fund was established in honor of Dr. Harkess – an esteemed colleague, friend and mentor, who has trained hundreds of orthopaedic surgeons and inspired countless others throughout his career.
International Fellows in Pediatric Orthopaedic, Foot and Ankle and Shoulder Subspecialties The treatment of musculoskeletal problems is a global issue, and Campbell Clinic is honored to be a destination for international orthopaedists! After being delayed for three years, we were thrilled to finally host the Sociedad Latinoamericana de Ortopedia y Traumatologia (SLAOTI) Fellows from Brazil and Chile in April. The Foundation facilitated two days in Memphis packed with Pediatric Orthopaedic Surgery meetings and demonstrations with residents and staff, tours through our beautiful community, and collaboration among new friends. Then the Foundation had the distinct pleasure of facilitating visits by seven international orthopaedic surgeons in September. First, two physicians from South Korea trained and shadowed orthopaedic shoulder and elbow specialists through the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) Asian Exchange Fellowship Program. Then five surgeons representing countries ranging from Chile to the United Kingdom made a three-day stop in Memphis during their
Dr. Tyler Brolin summarized, “Traveling fellowships like these are invaluable; they facilitate the sharing of thoughts and ideas from different institutions across the globe. We are humbled in their interest in visiting Campbell Clinic and allowing us to share our practice and thoughts on orthopaedic surgery.” Inaugural Kinematic Knee Alignment Course On October 13 and 14, the Campbell Clinic Foundation hosted the Inaugural Kinematic Knee Alignment Course in Memphis, directed by Course Chair, Campbell Clinic’s Marcus C. Ford, MD. Led by a star-studded faculty, the course featured didactic sessions, robust discussion, and cadaver labs with robot-assisted and non-robot-assisted procedures. Randomized controlled trials have shown superior clinical outcomes for kinematic alignment (KA) when compared with traditional mechanical alignment total knee arthroplasty. Now with reported excellent mid- and long-term survivorship, KA is becoming a mainstream treatment option.
Campbell Team Wins AAHKS Award for Studying the Safety of Oral TXA use in Total Knee Arthroplasty During the 2023 American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons (AAHKS) Annual Meeting, Campbell Clinic’s Marcus C. Ford, MD and William M. Mihalko, MD were awarded the AAHKS Clinical Research Award for investigating the safety and clinical efficacy of extended postoperative oral perioperative tranexamic acid (TXA) use in total knee arthroplasty (TKA).

Explains Ford, “Tranexamic acid has been a game changer in total joint arthroplasty. In addition to minimizing blood loss, it exhibits an anti-inflammatory effect that has been safely investigated internationally and across multiple medical disciplines. It is an important tool for recovery after TKA.” Patient Wesley LaRue had

knee replacement surgery and participated in the study. She explained, “Dr. Ford took time to answer my questions and tell me about the research and what they were learning; his excitement was evident. I recommend other patients participate in research because that’s such a critical component to the high-quality care provided by Campbell.”
In September, residents Drs. Zach Diltz (PGY-4) and Andy Couture (PGY-4) attended the AAOS Fall Meeting and National Orthopaedic Leadership Conference in Washington, DC. This included meetings and forums to discuss topics important to orthopaedics, as well as Capitol Hill visits to meet with members of Congress and their staffs to ask for their support for four bills this legislative session. Dr. Diltz said, “This was a great opportunity to build relationships with legislators while still in residency and advocate for issues affecting orthopaedic surgeons nationally.”

We Remember Dr. S. Terry Canale Our colleague, friend and mentor, Dr. S. Terry Canale, former Campbell Clinic Chief of Staff and President of the Campbell Clinic Foundation passed away August 13, 2023. Dr. Canale is known throughout the world for his vision and contributions to leadership, education, research and mentoring. He spent his entire career with Campbell Clinic specializing in pediatric orthopaedics and was one of the early pioneers in pediatric sports medicine. Orthopaedic education and research were hallmarks of Dr. Canale’s work. He mentored hundreds of orthopaedic residents, medical students and researchers over his career. He served as co-editor for five editions of Campbell’s Operative Orthopaedics, which is known as “The Bible of Orthopaedic Surgery.” He also co-edited Campbell’s Core Orthopaedic Procedures, Operative Pediatric Orthopaedics, and was the founding editor of Campbell Orthopaedic Journal. He was regarded as a national and international leader in orthopaedic surgery, having led numerous organizations, including the American
Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS), the Pediatric Orthopaedic Society of North America (POSNA), and Orthopaedics Overseas (now Health Volunteers Overseas). Dr. Canale also served local civic organizations and garnered countless honors, including Outstanding Alumni Award for Christian Brothers High School and the University of Virginia. In 2016, AAOS honored him with the William W. Tipton, Jr., MD, Leadership Award, which recognizes outstanding leadership that has benefitted the orthopaedic community, patients, and the American public. He was regarded as a Renaissance man; he had many other interests, including tennis, pickleball, art, travel, mission work and community service. Dr. Canale could always be counted on for a unique perspective on whatever the topic. His creativity and determined personality produced many great and lasting accomplishments, while always making the tasks interesting and fun. Dr. Canale will always be remembered as a visionary leader, wise teacher, trusted confidant and
loyal friend. Please continue to pray for his wife, Sissie; children, Haines Loden and Robb Canale; and five grandchildren. Any tribute gifts to the Campbell Clinic Foundation to honor Dr. Canale will benefit the Canale Presidential Research Fund, which will ensure that his legacy of orthopaedic excellence and leadership endures for generations to come.
