Helen Frankenthaler Fellowship in Restorative Mobility Andrew D. Pearle, MD The Helen Frankenthaler Fellowship in Restorative Mobility is held by Dr. Andrew Pearle, Chief of the HSS Sports Medicine Institute, and supports the training of surgeons in the principles and techniques of computer assisted surgery (CAS). Dr. Pearle specializes in knee and shoulder surgery, and is internationally recognized for his pioneering work in robotic knee surgery. Dr. Pearle is Director of the CAS Center at HSS, which is a simulated digital operating room with navigation and robotic systems, and provides an environment for research and development in surgical navigation and medical robotics in orthopedic surgery.
Ken and Jill Iscol Fellowship in Orthopaedic Research
Mary Rodgers and Henry Guettel Fellowship in Biomedical Mechanics Fernando Quevedo González, PhD The Mary Rodgers and Henry Guettel Fellowship in Biomedical Mechanics enables medical students and postdoctoral fellows to pursue research on the biomechanics of the musculoskeletal system under the mentorship of experienced scientists and physicians. Postdoctoral fellow Fernando Quevedo González’s expertise is in using computational models to optimize the design of orthopedic implants that use porous materials made from additive manufacturing (i.e., 3D printing). Under the supervision of Dr. Timothy Wright, Biomechanics Department Director, and Joe Lipman, Device Development Director, Dr. Quevedo’s pioneering work is exploring the best uses of this technology to improve the performance of total joint replacements.
Irving and Sally Lipstock Fellowship in Orthopedic Surgery The Irving and Sally Lipstock Fellowship in Orthopedic Surgery provides a lasting source of funding for orthopedic research at HSS. Established by Sally Lipstock to honor the memory of her husband, Bill, who was a grateful patient of Dr. Philip D. Wilson, Sr., the Fellowship enables HSS to continue its tradition of providing outstanding orthopedic training to medical professionals and world-class care to our patients.

Dr. Andrew Pearle (pictured above) is Chief of the HSS Sports Medicine Institute, and his clinical interests include arthroscopic and robotic surgery of the knee. By enabling surgeons to measure with pinpoint precision the angle and alignment of repair (in a 3D field) at each surgical step, computer-assisted surgery enhances the surgeon’s ability to draw meaningful conclusions regarding the healing process and the consequences of the repair. As a result of his research, Dr. Pearle was the first surgeon in New York, and one of the first in the country, to use robotic technology to perform a partial knee replacement surgery.
