Grant: Knowledge Translation Supplement
Queen's University (Kingston, Ontario)
$59,512.00
Managing Osteoarthritis without Surgery
FY 2011-12
Summary
Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis, and affects 10% of Canadians. Arthroscopic debridement is a surgical procedure widely accepted for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis, however, scientific evidence to support the efficacy of this surgery for the treatment of OA was lacking. Dr. Robert Litchfield conducted and published a landmark study in the New England Journal of Medicine (Kirkley et al., 2008) in which it was shown that Arthroscopic debridement provides no additional relief of joint pain or function when added to physical therapy and medication in patients with osteoarthritis.
In this grant, we will create 2 videos: one for patients and the other for healthcare practitioners to translate the knowledge derived from CIHR-funded research on the treatment of osteoarthritis. The videos will be disseminated through many multimedia platforms through Insidermedicine: insidermedicine.com, google news, iTunes/iPhone/iPad, and the InsidermedicineTV network.
