Douglas Naudie

Dr. Douglas Naudie has been a member of the adult reconstructive faculty in the Department of Surgery (Orthopaedics) at the University of Western Ontario since 2004. He received his medical training at McGill University in Montreal, Quebec, and completed his orthopaedic residency training at the University of Western Ontario. Following completion of his training, Dr. Naudie pursued additional training in adult reconstructive surgery in Bern, Switzerland and Alexandria, Virginia, with an emphasis on young adult hip disorders. He also completed a research fellowship in Goteborg, Sweden, where he learnt advanced techniques of radiostereometric analysis (RSA) to study migration and wear around hip and knee implants. Dr. Naudie is completing his Masters thesis in Medical Biophysics and serves as the Medical Director of the Musculoskeletal Imaging Unit at the Robarts Research Institute. His clinical practice includes primary and revision hip and knee replacement surgery, unicompartmental knee arthroplasty, hip resurfacing, hip osteotomies, and hip arthroscopy. His research interests are in the evaluation of implant fixation, wear, and osteolysis with advanced imaging modalities. Dr. Naudie has published 29 peer-reviewed articles, 3 book chapters, and 36 abstracts. He has received the Clinician Scientist Award from the Department of Surgery at the University of Western Ontario, the Career Development Award from the Orthopaedic Research and Education Foundation, the Insall Award (twice) from the Knee Society, the Charnley Award from the Hip Society, and was selected as a 2007 Insall Traveling Fellow. With collaborators Dr. Holdsworth and Dr. Dunning, he has been funded by CIHR for five years to develop new techniques to image the interface between bones and metal implants, and to develop new techniques for dynamic radiostereometric analysis following joint replacement. With respect to commercialization and technology transfer, Dr. Naudie is a consultant for Smith and Nephew and Stryker Orthopaedics, and has helped design and market a new unicompartmental knee implant.
