Founded in 1988 by orthopaedic surgeon Dr. J. Richard Steadman, the Steadman Philippon Research Institute (SPRI) employs scientists, researchers, fellows, visiting scholars, and interns.
Known throughout the world for our research into the causes, prevention and treatment of orthopaedic disorders. We are committed to preventing orthopaedic disorders that limit an individual's ability to maintain an active life.
Recognizing that the body's innate healing powers can be harnessed and manipulated to improve the healing process has led to exciting advances in surgical techniques. Today, SPRI is recognized worldwide for Dr. Marc Philippon's pioneering research for the treatment of sports related injuries to the hip.
Our Primary Areas of Research and Education are: Basic Science Research, Clinical Research, Department of BioMedical Engineering, Imaging Research, and Education and Fellowship Program.
