Who’s more likely to develop Rheumatoid Arthritis, and are we close to a cure? In the new episode of #DocTalks, Tom Appleton speaks about the autoimmune disease that affects 1 in 100 Canadian’s. Listen now where you get your podcasts, or on our website: bit.ly/3cTA20E

Really enjoyed our RSA+MRI of cementless total knees project with Matthew Koff PhD that led to this paper by Jordan Broberg. Thank you CIHR-IMHA Community for the funding, and thank you Carly for highlighting our work.

This study aimed to create a machine learning pipeline using a convolutional neural network applied to images of the femoral stem taper that can rapidly identify implants with moderate to severe corrosion that could be selected for further investigation. doi.org/10.1177/095441…

A great example of how Western's Bone & Joint Institute researchers are influencing patient care. A landmark RCT followed by a meaningful #ICESWestern study tracking long-term outcomes, run by an interdisciplinary team including BJI/CMHR grad Codie Primeau. Well done all! CC: Western Research

Enjoyed working on this with Burton Labs. Lots of opportunity to study how the #gutmicrobiome impacts musculoskeletal health. Looking forward to starting our probiotic RCT in total knee patients shortly!

Contact kinematics for a bicruciate stabilized (BCS) design were similar for both surgical techniques, suggesting both are appropriate for this design. Small, likely clinically insignificant differences were found between 3-month and 1-year kinematics. authors.elsevier.com/a/1ivhB38vD3A2…

Get ready to head to Vancouver from June 11-14, 2025 for the COA | CORS | CORA Annual Meeting at the Vancouver Convention Centre East. Celebrate the COA’s 80th anniversary with us at this premier educational event on Canada’s beautiful west coast. Call for abstracts and hotel

Congratulations to the newly appointed Directors, Committee Chairs, and Members who were inducted at the Your COA session during the recent Annual Meeting in Halifax. Over 178 volunteer leaders contribute their time, ideas, and expertise to the various committees that make up

Great thread by Ravi highlighting cutting edge 7T MRI in MSK. So much opportunity for Western to leverage our existing strengths once there’s a full body 7T in CFMM. Can even pair with 4DCT next door in CenTRI and really study joints in full. We have teams ready to jump on this!

Alex loved running out with one of his favourite players tonight at the London Majors game. Missed you Craig Needles!
