2002 - University of Washington Bone and Joint Sources

Visiting Lecturers
Robert A. Winquist, M.D.
This year at our annual LeCocq
Lecture on January 24 and 25,
we were most honored to have
one of our fellow alumnus as our
lecturer - Dr. Robert Winquist. Dr.
Winquist was one of our Department
of Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine’s
graduating residents in 1974 and after
a six month fellowship in Switzerland
and Germany, he joined the faculty of
the Department of Orthopaedics as an
Assistant Professor and later was
promoted to Associate Professor. He
currently is a Clinical Professor of
Orthopaedics Surgery at the University
of Washington and practices at Swedish
Hospital and Medical Center where he
has been the Chief of Orthopaedics. Dr.
Winquist’s work in the field of
traumaotolgy is well known and he is
well sought after to be a visiting
professor at many of the universities
throughout the world. Thus, it was a
special treat to have him accept our
invitation to be this year’s LeCocq
Lecturer. The faculty, residents, and
community physicians were treated to
3 innovating lectures from Dr.
Winquist: “Intramedullary Nailing of
the Femur,” “Design Implant: A Toy
Story,” and “Intramedullary Nailing of
the Tibia.”
Joseph Buckwalter, M.D.
This year at our annual Residents’
Research Days on May 16 and
17, we were honored to have Dr.
Joseph Buckwalter, Professor and Head
of the Department of Orthopaedic
Surgery at the University of Iowa
Hospitals and Clinics, return to be our
OREF Hark Lecturer. Dr. Buckwalter
was our OREF Hark Lecturer in 1992
and due to the overwhelming response
from the residents to have him back, we
were delighted when he accepted our
invitation to return this year. Dr.
Buckwalter earned his bachelor’s degree
in psychology in 1969 and a master’s
degree in pathology in 1972. He earned
his medical degree in 1974 and
completed his orthopaedic residency at
the University of Iowa Hospitals and
Clinics. Ever since he has served as a
faculty member at the University of
Iowa Hospitals and Clinics with the
exception of serving as a Visiting
Professor at the University of Bern in
Switzerland in 1991. During the 2 days
of lectures, the faculty, residents, and
community physicians were treated to
3 lectures from Dr. Buckwalter: “Aging
and Osteoarthritis,” “Ankle
Osteoarthritis – Unique Characteristics
and Treatment,” and “Orthopaedics in
2020.” In addition to Dr. Buckwalter’s
lectures, the R3’s and the R4’s presented
the progress of their research, while the
R5’s presented the completion of their
research projects.
