The Steadman Hawkins Research Foundation
The Foundation
The SteadmanHawkins Research Foundation is known throughout the world for its research into the
causes, prevention and treatment of orthopaedic disorders. The SteadmanHawkins Research Foundation is
committed to solving orthopaedic problems that limit an individual's ability to maintain an active life.
The Foundation has profoundly influenced the practice of orthopaedics - from diagnosis to rehabilitation.
Recognizing that the body's innate healing powers can be harnessed and manipulated to improve the healing
process has led to exciting advances in surgical techniques that are used today by orthopaedists everywhere.
The micofracture technique, for example, is now accepted as a treatment that may make it possible to postpone or even
eliminate the need for knee-replacement surgery.
One of the largest independent orthopaedic research institutes in the world, the SteadmanHawkins Research
Foundation, previously known as the SteadmanHawkins Sports Medicine Foundation, is also one of the most
productive and innovative organizations of its kind. Since its inception, the foundation has helped people
of all ages remain physically active through orthopaedic research and education. It continues to purse its
goals of:
 | Understanding and enlisting the body's innate ability to heal, |
| Designing and validating surgical and rehabilitation techniques, as well as non-operative treatments for arthritis, and |
| Producing and publishing scientifically validated research in leading medical and scientific journals. |
