24th EFORT annual Congress

Michael Freeman Honorary Lecture 2023

Mentorship and Preclinical Translational Research:

The Scientific Basis of Orthopaedic Surgery

Professor Michael Freeman was such a role model. Today we honour this great individual, who continues to have a profound influence on orthopaedics.

EFORT is delighted to welcome Dr. Goodman to Vienna. He will present this year’s Michael Freeman Honorary Lecture at the 24th EFORT Annual Congress with the session titled “Mentorship and Preclinical Translational Research: The Scientific Basis of Orthopaedic Surgery”.

“Areas of academic pursuit are insufficient without the close mentorship of individuals who function as role models for the aspiring surgeon.”

Stuart B. Goodman MD PhD is the Robert L. and Mary Ellenburg Professor of Surgery, and Professor with Tenure in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at Stanford University.

He has a courtesy appointment in the Department of Bioengineering, and is a Fellow of the Institute of Chemistry, Engineering and Medicine for Human Health (ChEM-H) at Stanford University. 

He was Chief of Orthopaedic Surgery at Stanford University from 1994-2002.

The scientific basis of orthopaedic surgery and the treatment of musculoskeletal disorders in general rest on a foundation of 3 disciplines: biology, biomechanics, and biomaterials. However, these areas of academic pursuit are insufficient without the close mentorship of individuals who function as role models for the aspiring surgeon.

To practice orthopaedic surgery in an evidence based, logical manner, initially, one must have a clear grasp of the fundamental scientific principles of our specialty. Thus, the pursuit of basic and translational research has been a passion for most of his career.

Attendance to this Honorary Lecture is included in the full-congress registration.
