Message From the Chair
With the recent move, the Department of
Orthopaedic Surgery, Sports Medicine and
Rehabilitation is—for the first time—united in both
its clinical and educational departments. Our research
and clinical operations continue to grow and this
reorganization of space was essential to make our
departments easier to manage.
I want to thank our new faculty and staff for their
outstanding effort this year in making our Middletown
office a success. This fall, we look forward to moving
into the new hospital facility as the Atrium Hospital campus nears completion.
Starting in August, Dr. Joel Sorger, an orthopaedic oncologist will be
seeing patients in our office. Dr. Sorger has been providing our residents with
this orthopaedic oncology education requirement for the past four years and has
agreed to develop a clinical service at Miami Valley Hospital. The department
is grateful for his continued support and we look forward to working closer
with this outstanding orthopaedist and educator. [See Dr. Sorger, page 2.]
Finally, the Dayton orthopaedic community was relieved to hear that Dr. Pompe Van Meerdervoort underwent successful lung transplantation
surgery. At last report, he is home and recuperating well. We all hope to see
Dr. Pompe and Minnie at the annual reunion in San Francisco during the 75th
annual academy meeting.

orthopaedic NEWS Message from the Program Director
This past year our department has seen many of the
changes made come to fruition. We will graduate two
residents this year, Nicolas Grisoni,
M.D., and Brian Hutchinson, M.D.
Nic will be taking a spine fellowship with the Center for Spinal
Disorders in Denver, and Brian will
be taking a hand fellowship at the
University of Southern California in
Los Angeles. Both have been excellent residents and we have encouraged them to return to the area when
they begin their practices.
We recently participated in
the NRMP match and are proud to have matched with Dr.
Mike Anderson, Dr. Ben Kleinhenz, and Dr. Mark Stouffer.
Mike comes from Wisconsin and is the younger brother
of Dr. Chris Anderson, a 2006 graduate of our program.
Ben Kleinhenz is originally from Dayton and is the son of
Dr. Steve Kleinhenz, a 1986 graduate of our program and
a 1981 graduate of the Wright State University School of
Medicine. Mark Stouffer comes to us from Wisconsin and
is the first resident to match in our six-year categorical spot.
This is the first year we offered a six-year categorical spot,
which includes one year of research that Mark will take after his intern year. This extra year is made possible through
salary support from the Veterans Affairs Medical Center and
will greatly enhance our research efforts.
As I look back on my 13 years in Dayton, it’s great to
see the progress of the department. The growth of all the
orthopaedic groups in town greatly enhances the residents’
experience and it is a credit to all of our clinical faculty that
several of the residents that have trained here have chosen
to return to begin their practice. We all benefit from this
continued growth and look forward to the future.

orthopaedic NEWS welcome new residents!
Michael J. Anderson, M.D.
With his M.D. from the University of Wisconsin School
of Medicine and Public Health in Madison now in hand, Michael J. Anderson, M.D., joins the same residency program
from which his brother, Christopher G.
Anderson, M.D. (’06), graduated. “I
was awaiting match day with a great
sense of anticipation, and was very
happy to hear from Mike that he and
[his girlfriend, Dr.] Krista [Swenson]
had both matched at Wright State. My
parents were elated also, as they know
from my experience what a tremendous organization he will be joining.”
While his brother’s career path has been a great source
of help, his own experiences during medical school brought
Dr. Anderson to the field of orthopaedic surgery. “During
medical school I tried to be open-minded as I considered
various careers, but I quickly found myself gravitating
towards orthopaedics. I participated in a wide array of
procedures…and it was the orthopaedic cases that interested
me the most. My third year rotation left little doubt and my
fourth year rotations have confirmed that orthopaedics is the
specialty for me.”
The diligent work ethic necessary for his residency
training is nothing new to Dr. Anderson. Earning a football scholarship to Michigan Technological University in
Houghton, he successfully completed double majors in
biological science: pre-professional as well as business administration, graduating magna cum laude while competing
on the Husky varsity football team.
While in medical school, Dr. Anderson earned the Herman Shapiro Summer Research Award and is a member of
the Phi Kappa Phi National Honor Society and the American Medical Association.
Benjamin P. Kleinhenz, M.D.
It’s no coincidence—the name is
very familiar. Incoming resident Benjamin P. Kleinhenz, M.D., is the son of
Steven M. Kleinhenz, M.D., who not
only serves the department as a clinical
associate professor, but is also a 1986
alumni of the residency program himself. This makes the second father-son
duo of orthopaedic surgeons trained through the department.
Danny L. Reveal, M.D., graduated from our program in
1974 and currently serves as clinical assistant professor for
the program. His son, Greg Reveal, M.D., graduated in 2000
and practices in Lexington, Kentucky.
Having a local orthopaedic surgeon as a father can
certainly provide opportunities to be introduced to the field.
However, orthopaedic surgery was not Dr. Kleinhenz’s
immediate first choice. “When I entered medical school,
my goal was to remain open-minded as to which specialty
orthopaedic NEWS
I would ultimately pursue. While my radiology and general
surgery courses were interesting, it was not until I spent a
month on the orthopaedics service that I became confident
of my career path.” The professional enthusiasm Dr. Kleinhenz witnessed in his preceptors aided his choice. “From the
junior residents to the attendings, I noticed a genuine enthusiasm for their work.” Dr. Kleinhenz earned his bachelors
in economics at the University of Notre Dame. The summer
before his junior year, Dr. Kleinhenz served as Dr. Laughlin’s research assistant. The following summer, before he
started his medical education at the University of Cincinnati
College of Medicine (UC) where he earned his M.D., Dr.
Kleinhenz served as research assistant to Dr. Crosby where
he created and maintained a demographic database for all
fractures treated in a Level 1 trauma center. While at UC, he
served as research assistant to Joseph S. Solomkin, M.D.,
Ph.D., in the Department of Surgery, and Theodore Toan Le,
M.D., and Michael Archdeacon, M.D., in the Department of
Orthopaedics.
Mark H. Stouffer, M.D.
His life experiences thus far propelled Mark H. Stouffer, M.D., towards
a career in orthopaedic surgery. The
satisfaction of working with his hands in
construction landscaping, the discipline
learned playing sports, and his church
missionary work combined have shaped
his goals as a physician.
Dr. Stouffer earned his bachelor’s in zoology and human biology from Brigham Young University before receiving his M.D. from the Medical College of Wisconsin in
Milwaukee. Working under the direction of Dr. Ken Schellhase, Dr. Stouffer researched “Surveillance care in prostate
cancer survivors and the rates of PSA test use specifically in
regards to rural vs. urban prostate cancer survivors,” which
he presented at the Society for Teachers of Family Medicine
Conference.
Dr. Stouffer has been very involved in volunteer work
both for school and his church. It was during his two-year
mission term at the Illinois-Chicago South Mission among
the Hispanic population that Dr. Stouffer learned Spanish.
Orthotics/Prosthetics Course
On March 9, 2007, the department hosted a one-day,
CME-approved Clinical Applications of Prosthetics and
Orthotics conference at Miami Valley Hospital. Facilitated by faculty and clinical faculty in addition to prosthetic/
orthotic technicians, the course was designed to give an
overview to residents and other healthcare providers.
Areas of focus included normal human locomotion,
principles and prosthetic options for congenial pathologies, and lower and upper limb amputations; as well as
identifying cervical, thoracic, lumbar, and common foot
pathologies and their treatments.
GRADUATION
In its second year, the June 2006 orthopaedic trauma
scientific symposium and graduation/alumni weekend
featured guest speaker Robert A. Probe, M.D., chair of the
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at Scott and White
Clinic and Memorial Hospital and associate professor at
Texas A&M University Health Science Center.
A renowned traumatologist active in the OTA, Dr.
Probe completed his bachelor’s in medicine at Texas A&M
University before earning his M.D. and completing his
residency training at the College of Medicine with the same
institution. Dr. Probe completed fellowships in orthopaedic
traumatology at Baylor College of Medicine, osteosynthesis using the techniques of Ilizarov at the Lecco Center for
Orthopaedic Traumatology in Italy, and AO internal fixation
at the BG-Unfallklinik in Duisburg, West Germany, and
Landeskrankenanstalt in Salzburg, Austria. He also completed a fellowship in surgery of the adult foot and ankle at
Southwest Medical School in Dallas.
Dr. Probe opened the resident research symposium examining “What’s new in foot and ankle trauma.” The Friday
morning event showcased research presentations from the
2006 chief residents along with orthopaedic trauma case
presentations from then PGY-4 residents Nicolas Grisoni,
M.D. and Brian Hutchinson, M.D. and PGY-3 residents
Jerry Ahluwalia, M.D., David Dalstrom, M.D., and Nathan
Williams, M.D.
Following the scientific program, faculty, residents,
alumni and staff enjoyed a lunch and a four-man golf scramble tournament at the Pipestone Golf Course in Miamisburg.
In spite of half their team not arriving, first place went to
twosome Dr. Richard Laughlin and then PGY-1 resident Dr.
Paul Peters.
Beginning with Dr. Probe’s research on “Locked plating
indications & applications,” the Saturday morning orthopaedic trauma symposium also included presentations by John
Wyrick, M.D. (’91), Michael Prayson, M.D. (faculty), Mike
Albert, M.D. (’84/clinical faculty), Tim Peters, D.O. (clinical faculty), James Binski, M.D. (clinical faculty), and Greg
Reveal, M.D. (’00).
Nicolas E. Grisoni, M.D.
It was his father, a pediatric surgeon,
who inspired Nicolas E. Grisoni, M.D. to
pursue a medical career. "I have always
admired his strength and drive to help
people and knew with determination I
could one day do the same."
Dr. Grisoni earned a bachelor’s in
biology from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor and his M.D. from Case Western Reserve
University School of Medicine in Cleveland after spending
two years at Ponce School of Medicine in Ponce, Puerto
Rico. He did a medical student externship in the Department
of Pediatric Orthopaedic Surgery at Case Western between
his first and second years of medical school. Before joining
the department, Dr. Grisoni completed a preliminary surgery
year at the McGaw Medical Center of Northwestern University in Chicago. Fluent in Spanish, he served at the Ponce
Homeless Shelter helping community physicians provide
free medical care.
Under the direction of Dr. Laughlin, Dr. Grisoni researched gait analysis, an antegrade and retrograde fracture
surgical technique study along with former faculty member
Dr. Lakatos, and bilateral hip fractures. Dr. Grisoni won
second place in the 2003 DAGMEC Resident Research
Forum for his research with Dr. Laughlin, and presented
his bilateral hip fracture research at the 2005 Mid-America
meeting in Florida.
Besides the pride and joy of receiving his diploma,
Dr. Grisoni and his wife Jamie welcomed two daughters
into their family: Emma Marie and Lauren Eva. In July the
Grisoni family will be heading to Denver where Dr. Grisoni
will complete a one-year spine fellowship at the Center for
Spinal Disorders. Upon completion they will return to Dayton where we are pleased to announce Dr. Grisoni will join
the department as an assistant professor, and will practice as
a spine surgeon for Wright State Orthopaedics, Sports Medicine, and Rehabilitation at Miami Valley Hospital.
Brian K. Hutchinson, M.D.
Chances are Army basic training
was a breeze compared to the rigors of
Dr. Brian K. Hutchinson’s orthopaedic
surgery residency training. Military
service taught Dr. Hutchinson the value
of education and gave him the means to
attain it, introducing him to his future
career. Orthopaedics caught his attention while working as
an Army scrub tech after military operating room training.
A California native, Dr. Hutchinson attended Sacramento City College before enlisting in the Army. After the
Army, Dr. Hutchinson worked as an operating room tech
before completing his bachelor’s in microbiology at Pennsylvania State University. Dr. Hutchinson received his M.D.
from Milton S. Hershey Medical Center at Pennsylvania
State University where he also received the Mellinger Medical Student Research Award.
Dr. Hutchinson presented his research with Dr. Stills,
“The healing effect of platelet rich plasma in rats with acute
bone fracture,” at the 2004 Wright State University Central
Research Forum and 2005 DAGMEC Resident Research
Forum; and his research with Dr. Binski, “Taylor spatial
frame for treatment of tibial shaft fractures,” at the 2005
Mid-America meeting. His research with Dr. Laughlin was
included in “Post traumatic infections in the foot and ankle”
in Fractures of the Foot and Ankle.
In 2003 Dr. Hutchinson, his wife Sandra, and big brother Ian welcomed Mia Kazumi into their family. Following
graduation, the Hutchinsons head to sunny California for Dr.
Hutchinson’s hand fellowship at the University of Southern
California in Los Angeles.

Dr. Prayson Honored by
Patient’s Family
1st Vice President Crosby
A mother whose son was careflighted to Miami Valley Hospital in January,
mentioned Michael J. Prayson, M.D.,
director of Traumatology in her letter of
thanks to the hospital. “We want to thank
the whole trauma team for their spectacular job and help… Dr. McCarthy and
Dr. Prayson told us everything, from good to the bad. They
made us feel no question was a stupid question for them to
answer.”
At the April 2007
annual meeting, Dr.
Crosby was named 1st
Vice President for MidAmerica Orthopaedic
Association. He will assume duties as President
at the April 2008 annual
meeting. Mid-America is
a 20-state regional orthopaedic association.
Department Covers NCAA Tournament
Dr. Laughlin Joins AOA
In a recent Dayton Daily News article, staff writer
Kevin Lamb mentioned Dr. Corey Ellis and Dr. Michael
Herbenick’s (’06) Wright State University team physician
coverage at the 2007 NCAA Tournament at Buffalo’s HSBC
Arena.
“While other fans could turn Wright State University’s
NCAA tournament appearance into a more leisurely adventure, two team physicians had to scramble to reach HSBC
Arena for warm-ups Thursday night. Dr. Corey Ellis, a
sports medicine specialist who played baseball at Wright
State, had to prevail upon other doctors to tend to his regular
patients’ sprained muscles and broken bones. He flew to
Buffalo with Dr. Mike Herbenick, his Miami Valley Hospital colleague and the team’s orthopedic surgeon, after
Herbenick finished a surgery before noon Thursday.”
At the 2006 annual meeting, the American Orthopaedic
Association (AOA) accepted Richard T. Laughlin, M.D.,
as an active member. According to the press release, AOA
membership “signifies honor and accomplishment in orthopaedics as well as the beginning of a commitment to active
leadership in the specialty,” in which members “work to expand an already prestigious list of contributions that benefit
all in the orthopaedic community.”
Residency Coordinator Wins Grant
Dr. Laughlin Honored in The Insider
Dr. Laughlin was honored by his surgery patient, Larry
Collopy, in Miami Valley Hospital’s publication, The Insider.
“…I have never had a more positive experience when
being hospitalized. I can’t say enough about my satisfaction
with Dr. Laughlin…I would like to thank you for the professionalism and skill of the nurses and doctors. Even though
your hospital is further away than the local hospital, I will
make the trip to Miami Valley on any future hospital stays
for my family and myself.”
At the 2007 AAOS meeting in San Diego, Residency
Coordinator Peggy Baldwin was selected to receive the
second annual ARCOS Educational Grant in the amount of
$1,500. ARCOS, the Association of Residency Coordinators in Orthopaedic Surgery, provides orthopaedic residency
coordinators the opportunity to network with other coordinators and keeps them up to date on the ever-changing
residency program requirements.
