Description
The William H. Harris, MD Award is presented by the Orthopaedic Research Society (ORS) and sponsored by the Harris Fellows Club. It recognizes an individual based on the quality and scientific merit of a paper accepted for publication in the Journal of Orthopaedic Research. Rather than funding a proposed research project, the award honors an accepted research contribution involving the hip.
Eligible topics include basic and clinical research related to hip reconstructive surgery, encompassing biological, mechanical, clinical, and other approaches. The award is named for William H. Harris, whose contributions to total hip replacement included surgical techniques, implant designs, the identification of the nature of osteolysis, and the Harris Hip Score for assessing pain and function after surgery.
