Message From the Chair
—Lynn A. Crosby, M.D.
Greetings! I would like to take this opportunity to
personally thank Dr. Ronald Lakatos for his service over
the past nine years during which he has been a faculty
member in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery. Dr.
Lakatos does not live in the Dayton area. He has commuted daily from Columbus, Ohio, causing him to spend
over two hours a day in his car. When he took trauma
call, he spent the evening on his couch in his office, or if
anesthesia would allow it, would perform an elective surgical schedule through the
night. He has decided to take a position at the Ohio State University Department
of Orthopaedic Surgery. I applaud his decision and I know he will be successful
there. I hope this allows his life to become more organized and for him to be able
to spend more time with his family. We will miss him, and we wish him well.
Dr. David Shuster, who has been a resident in our department for the past three
years, has decided to not continue in the orthopaedic program. This was a difficult
decision for Dr. Shuster and I applaud his decision to resign and not continue in a
field that was not in his interest to continue. The faculty members think highly of
Dr. Shuster and wish him the best in his future endeavors.
Four new faculty members will be starting in August of 2006. Drs. Herbenick
and Rubino will be returning to join the faculty after completion of their Sports
Medicine Fellowships. Dr. Michael Barnett will be joining us after completion of
his Foot and Ankle Fellowship. Dr. Corey Ellis will take a position in our department as a primary care sports medicine specialist with his major responsibility
being taking care of the Wright State University Athletic Department. I look forward to the addition of these outstanding young men as they begin their careers as
academic physicians.
With the addition of these new faculty members and the continued growth of
our research department, space has once again become an issue. I look forward
to working closely with the hospital and university in developing adequate future
space for our laboratory, academic, and clinical needs.
orthopaedic NEWS Message from the Program Director
This past year our department has continued to adjust to
the expansion to three residents per year. This will be the first
year we will graduate three residents: Drs. Chris Anderson,
Matthew Gorman, and Martin Janout.
All three have done an outstanding
job in their chief year. The third resident has allowed the chief residents
to expand their clinical experience to
include rotations at the VA Medical
Center and Good Samaritan Hospital.
In September, we had our site
visit and review by the Residency
Review Committee. This visit was
organized by Ms. Peggy Baldwin, our
residency coordinator. Over the past three years, Peggy has
truly embraced her job. Her attention to detail with the resident
op logs, duty hours, evaluations, and rotation and conference
schedules presented a comprehensive picture of our program
to the RRC and resulted in our obtaining a five-year accreditation. The amount of paperwork and documentation required to
maintain the Residency Program has expanded exponentially;
thus we all owe Peggy a huge thanks for her efforts in managing this.
Finally, the impact of the Orthopaedic Department on
medical students continues to grow. This year, we had a record
seven Wright State University medical students match in
orthopaedic surgery residencies. The influence that the orthopaedic faculty and residents had on these students cannot be
understated. Their career choice, no doubt, was influenced by
a positive experience with our department. The faculty—with
full-time and clinical—residents, and staff can take great
pride in the role they have played in the development of these
students.
The only constant in today’s world of orthopaedic education is change. The department will continue to evolve and
adjustments will be made accordingly; but the mission of training solid orthopaedic surgeons in a community-based program
will remain the same.
—Richard T. Laughlin, M.D.
Dr. Laughlin Chairs Orthotics & Prosthetics Course
Due to the overwhelming success of the first annual “Clinical Applications of Orthotics & Prosthetics” course in April
of 2005, the Orthopaedic Surgery Residency Program—sponsored by OrPro Prosthetics & Orthotics—hosted the second
course on February 24 and 25, 2006. Originally designed for
Dayton area residents, the course was opened to therapists and
nurses as well.
The goal of the condensed one-and-a-half-day annual
course “is to give orthopaedic residents the basic knowledge in
orthopaedic NEWS
evaluation of orthotic and prosthetic devices and prescription
writing for those devices.” According to Richard T. Laughlin,
M.D. who spearheaded this venture, “as an Orthopaedic Residency Program director, I believe our residents need a concise,
in-depth course in orthotics and prosthetics to prepare them for
their in-training exam and later their board exams. We have
created a course that focuses on these subjects and how they
are presented in standardized testing and clinical practice.”
Along with presentations by OrPro representatives, the
course consisted of lectures by our own faculty as well as
volunteer faculty who work diligently with our residency program. The department greatly appreciates the efforts of those
involved in putting this course together and looks forward to
its continued success.
Dr. Albert on AAOS Board of Councilors
Michael C. Albert, M.D., volunteer faculty and 1988
alumni, presently serves as an Ohio Representative on the
AAOS Board of Councilors. According
to the AAOS, “Each orthopaedic surgeon
who serves on the Board of Councilors
acts as your representative and liaison to
the Academy. A councilor’s goal is to represent your opinions, ideas, suggestions
and to seek input on issues that affect orthopaedic surgeons and their patients. The
Board of Councilors serves as an advisory
body and resource to the Board of Directors.” Dr. Albert’s term is set to expire in 2008.
Good Luck Dr. Lakatos!
The department would like to extend congratulations to
Ronald Lakatos, M.D., and his family as he begins his new
job with the Ohio State University Department of Orthopaedic
Surgery.
Assistant professor and chief of
Orthopaedic/Spine Trauma with Wright
State since 1997, Dr. Lakatos started his
medical career with a Bachelor of Science
in Science/Pre-Medicine from Pennsylvania State University in State College,
Pennsylvania. He received his Doctor of
Medicine from Hahnemann University
School of Medicine in Philadelphia and
began surgical residency training at Sinai Hospital of Baltimore, Maryland. After completing a Research Fellowship in
the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at the Shock Trauma
Center/Maryland Institute for Emergency, Dr. Lakatos completed his orthopaedic residency training with the Division of
Orthopaedic Surgery at the University of Maryland in Baltimore. He completed a Spine Fellowship with the Dallas Spine
Group at Dallas Specialty Hospital and a Trauma Fellowship
additions to our department
in Orthopaedic Trauma and Reconstructive Surgery at Grant
Medical Center in Columbus, Ohio
The research he has presented and published earned Dr.
Lakatos two notable awards: the Henry W. Meyerding Award
for Outstanding Paper for Orthopaedic Trauma in 1989, and
the Edwin G. Bovill, Jr., M.D., Memorial Lecture Award at
the 14th Annual Orthopaedic Trauma Association Meeting in
1998.
Dr. Lakatos is married to Jana Lakatos and has three children: Dustin, Amber, and Tessa, and they are expecting another
child. We wish Dr. Lakatos and his family the best as he begins
this new venture.

Dr. Laughlin Co-Authors Book
Richard T. Laughlin, M.D., is pleased to announce that his
book, Fractures of the Foot and Ankle: Diagnosis and Treatment of Injury and Disease, co-authored
with Jason H. Calhoun, M.D., was released to the public on March 29, 2005.
According to the publisher Taylor &
Francis, LLC, “With contributions from
an established team of experts on the
subject, this reference illustrates current
practices and techniques in the care of
patients with foot and ankle fractures—
demonstrating treatment methods for
fractures and dislocations, pediatric injuries, soft tissue management, crush injury, and post-traumatic
reconstruction.” This text “provides step-by-step guidance on:
ankle pilon, talus, and calcaneus fractures; tendon ruptures and
lacerations; chronic infection, post-traumatic reconstruction,
burns, amputation, and Ilizarov techniques; and Causalgia/Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy.”
Dr. Laughlin has been with the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery since 1994 and serves as Residency Program
Director, Associate Professor and Director of Foot and Ankle
Surgery. In 1994 he completed the E. Burke Evans Foot and
Ankle/Infection Fellowship at the University of Texas Medical
Branch in Galveston, Texas under the direction of his co-author, Dr. Calhoun. Dr. Laughlin completed a Foot and Ankle
Trauma Fellowship in 2001 at Harborview Medical Center at
the University of Washington in Seattle under the direction of
S.T. Hansen, Jr., M.D.
Dr. Calhoun is chairman and the J. Vernon Luck Distinguished Professor of Adult Foot & Ankle and Musculoskeletal
Infections in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at the
University of Missouri-Columbia. Dr. Calhoun is the author
of more than 100 peer-reviewed journal articles and numerous
books and book chapters in addition to holding several patents.
Dr. Lehner Elected State Society President
At the annual meeting in May of 2005, volunteer faculty
and 1979 alumni James T. Lehner,
MD, was elected President of the Ohio
Orthopaedic Society. The Ohio Orthopaedic Society’s Annual Meeting was
held in Columbus, Ohio at the Hilton
at Easton Town Center. Holding its first
meeting in 1940, the “Buckeye Orthopaedic Club” was founded in 1939
with a two-fold purpose that continues
today: governmental policy involvement
and technical professional advancement.
