Invest in Tomorrow’s Breakthroughs Today
INNOVATION STARTS HERE
Whether you remember Y2K like it was yesterday or an eternity ago, a lot has changed in the world and in orthopedic patient care. In the spirit of learning from the past to create a better tomorrow, OrthoCarolina Research leaders sat down to dissect the past, present, and future innovation in orthopedic patient care.
The last 25 years have been a whirlwind of discovery, just think of where we’ll be in the next 25!
The orthopedic treatments and procedures of today will not be the same as those tomorrow. OCRI is uniquely positioned to meet the opportunities and challenges of the next 25 years of innovation, but we can’t do it without your help!
Will you help us reach our goal of collecting 100 new donations of at least $25 before the end of 2025?
Orthopedic treatments like ankle replacement have revolutionized treatment options for people living with arthritis in the last 25 years. And it’s all because of groundbreaking research at OCRI. Watch and listen as Dr. Anderson and Dr. Ford discuss how times have changed in Foot and Ankle patient care thanks to research and what they hope to see in the future.
Diane’s journey brought her over 4,000 miles from Hawaii to Charlotte, with hope and determination to take control of her future.
Faced with the life-altering reality of multiple amputations after battling sepsis, Diane and her husband turned to OrthoCarolina. Doctors from an ocean away pointed the couple to Dr. Glenn Gaston and Dr. Bryan Loeffler because of their commitment to innovation through their Amputee Clinic at OrthoCarolina. We are fortunate to have these two professionals known not only for expert patient care, but for pioneering research in our own backyards.
Diane is now part of a groundbreaking study through the OrthoCarolina Research Institute, exploring how virtual reality may help reduce the burden of phantom limb pain for patients like her. This is why research matters. It’s not just data; it’s the reason Diane and so many other patients have a second chance of robust quality of life. And it’s the heart of what we do at OCRI.
