Our mission is to accelerate arthroplasty research and promote and support innovation, research, and education.
Meet the dedicated surgeons, researchers, and students advancing joint replacement care through innovation, expertise, and a commitment to better patient outcomes.
Advancing equitable joint replacement care, improving outcomes, reducing infections, and strengthening surgical efficiency, innovation, access, and affordability.
Our focus is on research, education, community, communication, and raising awareness to drive informed decisions and positive change.
How Arthroplasty Research Effects Outcomes
Implants are a crucial component of joint replacement surgery, providing the artificial surface needed to restore function and relieve pain in severely damaged joints. By replacing worn-out cartilage and bone with durable prosthetic materials, implants help patients regain mobility and perform daily activities without discomfort. These advanced components are designed to withstand the stresses of weight-bearing loads, making them essential for the success of the procedure and the patient’s long-term recovery.
Improving quality of life for our patients is our number one priority in the lab and operating room.
To Accelerate Arthroplasty Discovery
The Arthroplasty Research Chair at Concordia is an important partner with the Concordia Hospital and Concordia Foundation in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.
One of the strategic directions of the Concordia Foundation is to promote and support Innovation, Research and Education. The Chair is governed by a Research Committee of the Concordia Foundation and we collaborate with the Foundation to achieve our mission and vision. Our mission is to accelerate arthroplasty discovery that improves health and quality of life through research, education and advocacy.
Clinical
Research
Orthopaedic research at the Concordia Campus aims to continue pushing the boundaries of how medicine improves the lives of people suffering from joint pain, and who experience poor joint function, and limited mobility.
Our research helps us meet our patients’ growing needs while invigorating the community, growing Manitoba’s economy, and advancing orthopaedic care globally. The need for arthroplasty research will persist beyond where we are now.

The Next Leaders of Arthroplasty Research
The next generation of arthroplasty researchers play a critical role in advancing joint replacement surgery, improving patient outcomes, and addressing the evolving challenges associated with arthroplasty procedures.
Research at Concordia began in 2009 at the Hip and Knee Institute located at 1155 Concordia Avenue and 1095 Concordia Avenue in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada in a 60,000 square foot facility.
We partner with Operation Walk Manitoba, which is a charitable volunteer medical service organization whose purpose is to provide surgical treatments for people who live in developing countries and have little or no access to care for debilitating bone and joint diseases.
We share best practices and seek collaborative opportunities to improve the experience for our patients – current and future. The Concordia Joint Replacement Group has had a long history of research, which has resulted in direct, tangible benefits to our patients.
Arthroplasty Research and orthopaedics are a focus of our work that has global reach and impacts thousands of people. Media inquiries or use of our marks and material should be directed to us via secure email.
The Hip and Knee Institute serves 2,500+ patients a year from Manitoba and parts of Ontario, Saskatchewan, and Nunavut. Hip and knee replacements are more effective at improving quality of life than transplants, dialysis, and bypass grafting for the heart. We are home to the Reverse Hip Replacement.
