Richard
F. Santore is a Clinical Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery (Vol.) at the
University of California, San Diego and Medical Director of the Hip
Preservation Center of Sharp Memorial Hospital in San Diego, CA. He did an
orthopaedic residency at Massachusetts General Hospital (Harvard University),
then a Fellowship in Arthroplasty at Harvard and an AO Fellowship in Osteotomy
with Bombelli in Italy.
When he
planned his Hip Preservation Fellowship in Europe for 1982, he was advised by
his mentors at Massachusetts General Hospital that he was wasting his time as
there was no longer any role for osteotomy surgery because of the new era of
total joint replacement surgery. Nothing has made him happier than to see the
exciting explosion of interest among young surgeons all over the world in
recent years in arthroscopic and open hip preservation surgery and biologics.
His recent research has focused on the relationship between hip dysplasia and
hypermobility, with plans to open a center for hypermobility research and
patient care in San Diego.
Dr. Richard Santore states:
«The Hip Symposium Bern is one of the world’s longest-running and most highly respected hip courses. Under the succesive leadership of Maurice Müller, Reinhold Ganz and now Klaus Siebenrock, it has been a trusted forum for dissemination of new and important information about the scientific foundations, emerging technologies and innovative surgical strategies of hip related issues since the 1970’s. Every two years the information presented stimulates improvements in the assessment and care of patients with hip conditions. Friendships develop with colleagues from all over the world who faithfully come every two years to this cradle of knowledge and innovation.»

Topic: Writing for keeps – How to write a scientific manuscript
Dr. Richard A. BRAND was editor-in-chief of the orthopaedic journal « Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research® (CORR) » from 2002 until 2012. Under his leadership, CORR® became one of the most highly esteemed international orthopaedic journals. During his time as editor-in-chief, the journal's « impact factor » was boosted from 1.2 in 2002 to a value of 2.9 some 10 years later. Dr. Brand successfully guided the CORR® journal through the age of digitisation. Despite the doubling in the number of papers submitted (1600 papers annually), it was possible to cut in half the average time it takes until a paper is published to 186 days.
Through his enormous dedication, Dr. Brand instilled precise scientific thinking and writing in a great number of orthopaedic surgeons. In honour of his impressive achievements as former editor-in-chief of CORR®, the journal annually presents the “Richard A. Brand Award” for outstanding clinical research in the field of orthopaedics.
