Spotlight on the AAHKS 2024 Rand Award Paper

Congratulations to Charles P. Hannon, MD, MBA on receiving the 2024 James A. Rand, MD Young Investigator’s Award for the original research paper, “What is the Safest and Most Effective Dose of Intravenous (IV) Dexamethasone in TKA? A Multicenter Prospective RC”, at the AAHKS 2024 Annual Meeting in Dallas, TX. This award recognizes young investigators who demonstrate clinical excellence in knee-related research. Dr. Hannon’s study found that a high dose of IV dexamethasone in TKA leads to reduced opioid consumption and vomiting in the first 24 hours after surgery, with comparable outcomes beyond 24 hours for all doses. Read more about this research in Orthopedics This Week.  The Knee Society provided funding for the study.
