MeSSage FroM the chairWith the recent move, the Department of

Orthopaedic Surgery, Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation is—for the first time—united in both its clinical and educational departments. Our research and clinical operations continue to grow and this reorganization of space was essential to make our departments easier to manage.

I want to thank our new faculty and staff for their outstanding effort this year in making our Middletown office a success. This fall, we look forward to moving into the new hospital facility as the Atrium Hospital campus nears completion.

Starting in August, Dr. Joel Sorger, an orthopaedic oncologist will be seeing patients in our office. Dr. Sorger has been providing our residents with this orthopaedic oncology education requirement for the past four years and has agreed to develop a clinical service at Miami Valley Hospital. The department is grateful for his continued support and we look forward to working closer with this outstanding orthopaedist and educator. [See Dr. Sorger, page 2.]

Finally, the Dayton orthopaedic community was relieved to hear that Dr. Pompe Van Meerdervoort underwent successful lung transplantation surgery. At last report, he is home and recuperating well. We all hope to see Dr. Pompe and Minnie at the annual reunion in San Francisco during the 75th annual academy meeting.

departmeNt additioNSMichael d. Barnett, Jr., M.d.

Dr. Barnett joined the department in August 2006 after completing a foot and ankle fellowship at the Portland Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Center in Maine. An Ohio native, Dr. Barnett graduated with high honor from Ohio University with a bachelor’s in bio-logical sciences/pre-medicine. After receiving his M.D. from the Wright State University Boonshoft School of Medicine, Dr. Barnett completed his orthopaedic surgery residency training at Akron General Medical Center.

The recipient of several honors during his education, Dr. Barnett was elected to academic societies, including

Phi Beta Kappa as an undergraduate and Alpha Omega Alpha during medical school. Publications currently in press include the chapter “Comprehensive Correction of Cav-ovarus” in Operative Techniques in Orthopaedic Surgery, and “Use of platelet-rich plasma and bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells in foot and ankle surgery” in the June 2006 issue of Techniques in Foot and Ankle Surgery.

Dr. Barnett and his wife, Jennifer, have one daughter and are expecting their second child in July.

corey J. ellis, M.d.Dr. Corey J. Ellis returned “home” in

July 2006 when he joined the department as a primary care sports medicine specialist and assistant professor of both orthopaedic surgery and sports medicine and family medicine.

A member and captain of the Wright State University baseball team, Dr. Ellis graduated cum laude with a Bachelor of Science in biological sciences. Dr. Ellis earned his doc-tor of medicine from and completed the Family Medicine Residency Program at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine. He recently completed a primary care sports medicine fellowship at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medi-cal Center and is board certified in family medicine with a Certificate of Added Qualification in Primary Care Sports Medicine. He maintains memberships in the American Academy of Family Physicians and the American Medi-cal Society for Sports Medicine. Dr. Ellis has given several presentations and has published “Benefits and guidelines for exercise in diabetic patients” in The Ohio Family Physician.

Having served as sports medicine physician for Lock-land City Schools and Colerain High School near Cincinnati as well as Miami University in Oxford, Dr. Ellis serves as physician for Wright State University varsity athletes in ad-dition to educational roles for the athletic training program. He provides care at the Wright State University training room, at Wright State Orthopaedics in Miami Valley Hospi-tal, and at our satellite office in Beavercreek.

Dr. Ellis and his wife, Lori, welcomed their first son, Cohen Dodson, in July 2006.

Joel Sorger, M.d.The department is excited to announce Dr. Joel Sorger

will begin an orthopaedic oncology service with Wright State Orthopaedics, Sports Medicine & Rehabilitation at Miami Valley Hospital beginning in August.

For the past four years, Dr. Sorger has presented a monthly resident pathology lecture. He will apply for full-time department faculty status and, once approved, will assume a more active role in clinical activities and teaching duties as his appointment comes forward.

Board certified by the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgeons, Dr. Sorger graduated with a bachelor of science in biology from the University of Richmond in Virginia.

Message from the program directorThis past year our department has seen many of the

changes made come to fruition. We will graduate two residents this year, Nicolas Grisoni, M.D., and Brian Hutchinson, M.D. Nic will be taking a spine fellow-ship with the Center for Spinal Disorders in Denver, and Brian will be taking a hand fellowship at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. Both have been excel-lent residents and we have encour-aged them to return to the area when they begin their practices.

We recently participated in the NRMP match and are proud to have matched with Dr. Mike Anderson, Dr. Ben Kleinhenz, and Dr. Mark Stouffer. Mike comes from Wisconsin and is the younger brother of Dr. Chris Anderson, a 2006 graduate of our program. Ben Kleinhenz is originally from Dayton and is the son of Dr. Steve Kleinhenz, a 1986 graduate of our program and a 1981 graduate of the Wright State University School of Medicine. Mark Stouffer comes to us from Wisconsin and is the first resident to match in our six-year categorical spot. This is the first year we offered a six-year categorical spot, which includes one year of research that Mark will take af-ter his intern year. This extra year is made possible through salary support from the Veterans Affairs Medical Center and will greatly enhance our research efforts.

As I look back on my 13 years in Dayton, it’s great to see the progress of the department. The growth of all the orthopaedic groups in town greatly enhances the residents’ experience and it is a credit to all of our clinical faculty that several of the residents that have trained here have chosen to return to begin their practice. We all benefit from this continued growth and look forward to the future.

Welcome NeW reSideNtS!Michael J. anderson, M.d.

With his M.D. from the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health in Madison now in hand, Mi-chael J. Anderson, M.D., joins the same residency program from which his brother, Christopher G. Anderson, M.D. (’06), graduated. “I was awaiting match day with a great sense of anticipation, and was very happy to hear from Mike that he and [his girlfriend, Dr.] Krista [Swenson] had both matched at Wright State. My parents were elated also, as they know from my experience what a tremen-dous organization he will be joining.”

While his brother’s career path has been a great source of help, his own experiences during medical school brought Dr. Anderson to the field of orthopaedic surgery. “During medical school I tried to be open-minded as I considered various careers, but I quickly found myself gravitating towards orthopaedics. I participated in a wide array of procedures…and it was the orthopaedic cases that interested me the most. My third year rotation left little doubt and my fourth year rotations have confirmed that orthopaedics is the specialty for me.”

The diligent work ethic necessary for his residency training is nothing new to Dr. Anderson. Earning a foot-ball scholarship to Michigan Technological University in Houghton, he successfully completed double majors in biological science: pre-professional as well as business ad-ministration, graduating magna cum laude while competing on the Husky varsity football team.

While in medical school, Dr. Anderson earned the Her-man Shapiro Summer Research Award and is a member of the Phi Kappa Phi National Honor Society and the Ameri-can Medical Association.

Benjamin p. Kleinhenz, M.d.It’s no coincidence—the name is

very familiar. Incoming resident Ben-jamin P. Kleinhenz, M.D., is the son of Steven M. Kleinhenz, M.D., who not only serves the department as a clinical associate professor, but is also a 1986 alumni of the residency program him-self. This makes the second father-son

duo of orthopaedic surgeons trained through the department. Danny L. Reveal, M.D., graduated from our program in 1974 and currently serves as clinical assistant professor for the program. His son, Greg Reveal, M.D., graduated in 2000 and practices in Lexington, Kentucky.

Having a local orthopaedic surgeon as a father can certainly provide opportunities to be introduced to the field. However, orthopaedic surgery was not Dr. Kleinhenz’s immediate first choice. “When I entered medical school, my goal was to remain open-minded as to which specialty

I would ultimately pursue. While my radiology and general surgery courses were interesting, it was not until I spent a month on the orthopaedics service that I became confident of my career path.” The professional enthusiasm Dr. Klein-henz witnessed in his preceptors aided his choice. “From the junior residents to the attendings, I noticed a genuine enthu-siasm for their work.” Dr. Kleinhenz earned his bachelors in economics at the University of Notre Dame. The summer before his junior year, Dr. Kleinhenz served as Dr. Laugh-lin’s research assistant. The following summer, before he started his medical education at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine (UC) where he earned his M.D., Dr. Kleinhenz served as research assistant to Dr. Crosby where he created and maintained a demographic database for all fractures treated in a Level 1 trauma center. While at UC, he served as research assistant to Joseph S. Solomkin, M.D., Ph.D., in the Department of Surgery, and Theodore Toan Le, M.D., and Michael Archdeacon, M.D., in the Department of Orthopaedics.

Mark h. Stouffer, M.d.His life experiences thus far pro-

pelled Mark H. Stouffer, M.D., towards a career in orthopaedic surgery. The satisfaction of working with his hands in construction landscaping, the discipline learned playing sports, and his church missionary work combined have shaped his goals as a physician.

Dr. Stouffer earned his bachelor’s in zoology and hu-man biology from Brigham Young University before receiv-ing his M.D. from the Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee. Working under the direction of Dr. Ken Schell-hase, Dr. Stouffer researched “Surveillance care in prostate cancer survivors and the rates of PSA test use specifically in regards to rural vs. urban prostate cancer survivors,” which he presented at the Society for Teachers of Family Medicine Conference.

Dr. Stouffer has been very involved in volunteer work both for school and his church. It was during his two-year mission term at the Illinois-Chicago South Mission among the Hispanic population that Dr. Stouffer learned Spanish.

orthotics/prosthetics courseOn March 9, 2007, the department hosted a one-day,

CME-approved Clinical Applications of Prosthetics and Orthotics conference at Miami Valley Hospital. Facilitat-ed by faculty and clinical faculty in addition to prosthetic/orthotic technicians, the course was designed to give an overview to residents and other healthcare providers. Areas of focus included normal human locomotion, principles and prosthetic options for congenial patholo-gies, and lower and upper limb amputations; as well as identifying cervical, thoracic, lumbar, and common foot pathologies and their treatments.

gradUatioNIn its second year, the June 2006 orthopaedic trauma

scientific symposium and graduation/alumni weekend featured guest speaker Robert A. Probe, M.D., chair of the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at Scott and White Clinic and Memorial Hospital and associate professor at Texas A&M University Health Science Center.

A renowned traumatologist active in the OTA, Dr. Probe completed his bachelor’s in medicine at Texas A&M University before earning his M.D. and completing his residency training at the College of Medicine with the same institution. Dr. Probe completed fellowships in orthopaedic traumatology at Baylor College of Medicine, osteosynthe-sis using the techniques of Ilizarov at the Lecco Center for Orthopaedic Traumatology in Italy, and AO internal fixation at the BG-Unfallklinik in Duisburg, West Germany, and Landeskrankenanstalt in Salzburg, Austria. He also com-pleted a fellowship in surgery of the adult foot and ankle at Southwest Medical School in Dallas.

Dr. Probe opened the resident research symposium ex-amining “What’s new in foot and ankle trauma.” The Friday morning event showcased research presentations from the 2006 chief residents along with orthopaedic trauma case presentations from then PGY-4 residents Nicolas Grisoni, M.D. and Brian Hutchinson, M.D. and PGY-3 residents Jerry Ahluwalia, M.D., David Dalstrom, M.D., and Nathan Williams, M.D.

Following the scientific program, faculty, residents, alumni and staff enjoyed a lunch and a four-man golf scram-ble tournament at the Pipestone Golf Course in Miamisburg. In spite of half their team not arriving, first place went to twosome Dr. Richard Laughlin and then PGY-1 resident Dr. Paul Peters.

Beginning with Dr. Probe’s research on “Locked plating indications & applications,” the Saturday morning orthopae-dic trauma symposium also included presentations by John Wyrick, M.D. (’91), Michael Prayson, M.D. (faculty), Mike Albert, M.D. (’84/clinical faculty), Tim Peters, D.O. (clini-cal faculty), James Binski, M.D. (clinical faculty), and Greg Reveal, M.D. (’00).

Nicolas e. grisoni, M.d.It was his father, a pediatric surgeon,

who inspired Nicolas E. Grisoni, M.D. to pursue a medical career. "I have always admired his strength and drive to help people and knew with determination I could one day do the same."

Dr. Grisoni earned a bachelor’s in biology from the University of Michi-

gan in Ann Arbor and his M.D. from Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine in Cleveland after spending two years at Ponce School of Medicine in Ponce, Puerto Rico. He did a medical student externship in the Department of Pediatric Orthopaedic Surgery at Case Western between his first and second years of medical school. Before joining the department, Dr. Grisoni completed a preliminary surgery

year at the McGaw Medical Center of Northwestern Univer-sity in Chicago. Fluent in Spanish, he served at the Ponce Homeless Shelter helping community physicians provide free medical care.

Under the direction of Dr. Laughlin, Dr. Grisoni re-searched gait analysis, an antegrade and retrograde fracture surgical technique study along with former faculty member Dr. Lakatos, and bilateral hip fractures. Dr. Grisoni won second place in the 2003 DAGMEC Resident Research Forum for his research with Dr. Laughlin, and presented his bilateral hip fracture research at the 2005 Mid-America meeting in Florida.

Besides the pride and joy of receiving his diploma, Dr. Grisoni and his wife Jamie welcomed two daughters into their family: Emma Marie and Lauren Eva. In July the Grisoni family will be heading to Denver where Dr. Grisoni will complete a one-year spine fellowship at the Center for Spinal Disorders. Upon completion they will return to Day-ton where we are pleased to announce Dr. Grisoni will join the department as an assistant professor, and will practice as a spine surgeon for Wright State Orthopaedics, Sports Medi-cine, and Rehabilitation at Miami Valley Hospital.

Brian K. hutchinson, M.d.Chances are Army basic training

was a breeze compared to the rigors of Dr. Brian K. Hutchinson’s orthopaedic surgery residency training. Military service taught Dr. Hutchinson the value of education and gave him the means to attain it, introducing him to his future career. Orthopaedics caught his attention while working as an Army scrub tech after military operating room training.

A California native, Dr. Hutchinson attended Sacra-mento City College before enlisting in the Army. After the Army, Dr. Hutchinson worked as an operating room tech before completing his bachelor’s in microbiology at Penn-sylvania State University. Dr. Hutchinson received his M.D. from Milton S. Hershey Medical Center at Pennsylvania State University where he also received the Mellinger Medi-cal Student Research Award.

Dr. Hutchinson presented his research with Dr. Stills, “The healing effect of platelet rich plasma in rats with acute bone fracture,” at the 2004 Wright State University Central Research Forum and 2005 DAGMEC Resident Research Forum; and his research with Dr. Binski, “Taylor spatial frame for treatment of tibial shaft fractures,” at the 2005 Mid-America meeting. His research with Dr. Laughlin was included in “Post traumatic infections in the foot and ankle” in Fractures of the Foot and Ankle.

In 2003 Dr. Hutchinson, his wife Sandra, and big broth-er Ian welcomed Mia Kazumi into their family. Following graduation, the Hutchinsons head to sunny California for Dr. Hutchinson’s hand fellowship at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles.

A mother whose son was careflight-ed to Miami Valley Hospital in January, mentioned Michael J. Prayson, M.D., director of Traumatology in her letter of thanks to the hospital. “We want to thank the whole trauma team for their spec-tacular job and help… Dr. McCarthy and

Dr. Prayson told us everything, from good to the bad. They made us feel no question was a stupid question for them to answer.”

department covers Ncaa tournamentIn a recent Dayton Daily News article, staff writer

Kevin Lamb mentioned Dr. Corey Ellis and Dr. Michael Herbenick’s (’06) Wright State University team physician coverage at the 2007 NCAA Tournament at Buffalo’s HSBC Arena.

“While other fans could turn Wright State University’s NCAA tournament appearance into a more leisurely adven-ture, two team physicians had to scramble to reach HSBC Arena for warm-ups Thursday night. Dr. Corey Ellis, a sports medicine specialist who played baseball at Wright State, had to prevail upon other doctors to tend to his regular patients’ sprained muscles and broken bones.

At the 2007 AAOS meeting in San Diego, Residency Coordinator Peggy Baldwin was selected to receive the second annual ARCOS Educational Grant in the amount of $1,500. ARCOS, the Association of Residency Coordina-tors in Orthopaedic Surgery, provides orthopaedic residency coordinators the opportunity to network with other coor-dinators and keeps them up to date on the ever-changing residency program requirements.

1st Vice president crosbyAt the April 2007

annual meeting, Dr. Crosby was named 1st Vice President for Mid-America Orthopaedic Association. He will as-sume duties as President at the April 2008 annual meeting. Mid-America is a 20-state regional ortho-paedic association.

dr. Laughlin Joins aoaAt the 2006 annual meeting, the American Orthopaedic

Association (AOA) accepted Richard T. Laughlin, M.D., as an active member. According to the press release, AOA membership “signifies honor and accomplishment in ortho-paedics as well as the beginning of a commitment to active leadership in the specialty,” in which members “work to ex-pand an already prestigious list of contributions that benefit all in the orthopaedic community.”

dr. Laughlin honored in the insiderDr. Laughlin was honored by his surgery patient, Larry

Collopy, in Miami Valley Hospital’s publication, The Insider. “…I have never had a more positive experience when

being hospitalized. I can’t say enough about my satisfaction with Dr. Laughlin…I would like to thank you for the profes-sionalism and skill of the nurses and doctors. Even though your hospital is further away than the local hospital, I will make the trip to Miami Valley on any future hospital stays for my family and myself.”
