Our Purpose

The Concordia Arthroplasty Research team is dedicated to advancing patient experiences and access to research. We are located on the Concordia Hospital Campus in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Our campus includes clinical arthroplasty (joint replacement) clinical care and a clinic were these patients are seen. We work in two state-of-the-art labs, including a high-tech simulation centre and testing centre.

Throughout a person’s life, they face many health challenges. The advancement of medicine through research directly results in breakthroughs to solve these health challenges. Each year, more Manitobans are affected by joint diseases who are still working, raising a family and playing an active role.

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.

New technologies, procedures, devices, care delivery methods, and external pressures will continually come up as joint replacement volumes continue to grow and patients continue to live longer and more active lives. We expect to meet new challenges and address them with science, by developing data and evidence to inform our best practices and implement those into care at Concordia.

In the next 3-5 years, we will focus on achieving additional grant funding and industry support to sustain the continuation of Concordia’s research program in partnership with the Concordia Foundation.
