As
one of the most prestigious international awards for surgeons of eminence who have richly contributed to the field of surgery by original
research or innovations, recognising significant
contributions made to surgical, anaesthetic or dental science, it has been
awarded to Professor Shetty for his research on stem cells in articular
cartilage repair. On being awarded with the highly – regarded annual award in
the field of surgery, Professor Shetty, Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon,
comments, “I’m honoured to accept the
Hunterian Professorship and Medal for 2017 from the Royal College of Surgeons.
Using stem cells to support the growth of new cartilage in joints has the
potential to broaden the possibilities of treatment for patients who require
knee replacements. The research we have undertaken demonstrates that the
re-growth of cartilage in damaged knees can delay the need for knee replacement
surgery and in some cases prevent it. This could have a significant impact on
patients, especially younger people, if they do not have to undergo surgery.”
