When You Speak, We Listen!
Dear VOS members,
 |
|
|
Outgoing President Jeff Godwin presents incoming President Janet Van Dyke with the ceremonial bell used to call the meeting to order.
|
It is with great humility that I assume the presidency of VOS. My thanks to
Jeff Godwin, who did a terrific job as president for the past year. He worked very hard to address the needs of this amazing organization, using your feedback to help identify what VOS could be doing better to serve its membership and advance its mission.
Jeff tasked the board of directors with addressing member requests compiled from last year's post-conference survey. And the board responded!
You asked for an app to make it easier to navigate the multitude of scientific presentations and social events at the conference.
Katja Lin worked tirelessly to make this possible. The feedback I got last week was very positive - that even the "old members" were using it.
You were looking for a better return on investment for your membership dues.
Cheryl Tano and
Nina Kieves reached out to the exhibitors and sponsors at this year's conference, asking if they could offer a yearlong benefit to our members - not just the "show special." The response was very positive and you will find many of these new discounts outlined in this newsletter. Watch this space for additional member benefits. And be sure to keep your VOS membership current so you don't miss out!
Many of you said that you liked the equine, complications/revisions, and radiology rounds sessions.
José Garcia-Lopez and
Caleb Hudson created a scientific platform that included all of these along with great orthopedics, sports medicine and regenerative medicine segments.
You requested more hands-on labs during the conference. We had two great labs this year that both sold out quickly so we plan to offer more next year. Please let us know what topics/procedures you would like to have included in 2020 so we can start working with our sponsor companies. Your input matters!
It came as no surprise that you wanted us to try to keep the meeting as affordable as possible while continuing to offer top-notch presentations and excellent skiing. To that end, Jeff negotiated with several event-planning organizations this past year to find the best fit for VOS going forward. The team from the NC State College of Veterinary Medicine CE department got our thumbs-up, and they will transition in gradually over the next two years as
Penny Smith and
Maralyn Probst prepare to retire.
Finally, Jeff invited
Dr. William Raasch to be our Jacques Jenny Lecturer this year. Dr. Raasch gave the audience a peek behind the curtain at managing the orthopedic injuries of major league baseball players, NBA players, and even prima ballerinas.
 VOS 2019 attendees should have already received the post-conference survey. (If you did not get an email with the survey link, please email
secretary@vosdvm.org.) As you can tell, when you speak, we listen. Please take the time to fill out the survey so we can make your membership and next year's conference as valuable as possible for you.
Mark your calendars now to attend VOS 2020: February 1-8, 2020, in gorgeous Sun Valley, Idaho!
Janet Van Dyke
President

Thanks for an Outstanding Meeting and Year!
Dear VOS members,
It has been a busy week getting caught up after returning home from the 2019 VOS Conference, but I wanted to take a few minutes to report on our recent meeting, attended by 291 members from 13 countries and 36 states. I'm sorry if you were not able to attend this year. The Beaver Run Conference center is a great facility, and the food and service were excellent. Breckenridge had great a snow base to start with, and we got fresh snowfall on Monday, Thursday and Friday.

Jeff Godwin presents 2019 Jacques Jenny speaker Dr. Bill Raasch with a plaque of appreciation.
|
The scientific meeting was outstanding as usual. We tried a couple new innovations this year like rapid fire poster presentations and a meeting app. I believe both were well-received. We had two labs by
Owl Manor /
Biovision and
Arthrex that were sold out. Our Jacques Jenny Lecturer,
Dr. Bill Raasch, was interesting, funny and informative. A lot of members had questions for him after and between his talks. I really appreciated the way he commented on our presentations as well. I was impressed by the Bloomberg presentations too. Congratulations to
Danielle Marturello for the best Bloomberg presentation,
Ming Lu for the best scientific podium presentation,
Jeff Biskup for the best clinical podium presentation,
Kayla Le for best equine presentation, and
Shelly Shamir for best poster presentation.
The Foundation had a great night on Wednesday, and we awarded a Hohn-Johnson grant to
Matt Stewart for a study on "Synovial ossification in OA: mechanisms and therapeutic targeting," and a Brinker grant to
Jannah Pye (mentored by
Sue Stover) for "Comparison of pull-out strength between 3.5mm bone screw fasteners and self-tapping AO 3.5 mm cortical bone screws in cadaveric adult equine third metacarpal bone."
Our sponsor and exhibitor support was very strong and much appreciated.
Cheryl Tano and
Nina Kieves did a great job getting them together and getting them recognized. Gold sponsors included
Arthrex,
Johnson & Johnson and
New Generation Devices.
Our Treasurer,
Raviv Balfour, reported that VOS is in stable financial condition, and
Maralyn Probst reports that our membership is holding strong at 678. One of my goals this year was to increase the value of membership, especially to the majority of members who are not able to attend the Conference every year. Two new programs will be rolling out this spring. We are contacting our sponsors and exhibitors about providing members with discounts on products or services and that has been well-received. Several have already signed on and more are interested. You will hear more about that in the upcoming months. Also, we voted to establish an online member directory. This will help us connect with each other as well as help clients connect with us.
We had two Board members complete their terms of service this year.
Cheryl Tano was our Sponsorship Chair, and she will be replaced by
Nina Kieves. Nina in turn will be replaced by
Mich Powers as Exhibitor Chair.
Dick Lau will be replaced by
Wanda Gordon-Evans as Foundation Chair.
Raviv Balfour also finishes his term as Treasurer but will stay on the board one more year as Past Treasurer. Our new Treasurer is
Cara Blake, and we also welcome back to the Board our new President Elect,
Ross Palmer.
Alan Cross leaves the Board after several years of service as I take his place as Past President, and I leave VOS in very capable hands with our new President
Jan Van Dyke.
 I want to thank all of the Board members for their hard work this year. They all did their jobs and did them well. Thanks to our Travel Agent/Meeting Planner
Penny Smith, our Assistant Secretaries
Heidi DeCamp and
Meggan Brovege, and especially to our Executive Secretary
Maralyn Probst. We could not have had such a good year without the efforts of all of you.
Until we meet again,
Jeff Godwin
Past President

SPOTLIGHT ON ...
BIOMEDTRIX
|
 |
Location:
Whippany, New Jersey
What year was the company started? 1989
What products / services does your company offer?
BioMedtrix is a technology driven company that designs, develops, and manufactures state-of-the-art veterinary orthopedic implants.
With over 36 years of development experience in human and veterinary implants, BioMedtrix has developed proprietary processes and has patents on multiple designs addressing clinical needs in the canine hip, knee, elbow and trauma. Our research and testing approaches have demonstrated improved product development cycles with designs addressing long-term clinical needs.
What should Veterinary Orthopedic Society members know about your company?
The BioMedtrix Advisory board works hand-in-hand with our Research & Development team to bring new products to market. Proposed ideas are reviewed, developed, tested and methodically brought to market only after many years of review which involves an extensive investment of time and resources. We are not a copy and paste organization.
Can you explain a challenging situation that your company was able to solve?
A young kitten,
Vincent
, was presented at Iowa State University missing his hind feet at the mid-tibia level on both legs. Unable to walk, custom hind legs were designed providing bone and soft tissue attachment sites with the distal portion of the implant passing through the skin. External feet were attached in February 2014. Five years later, Vincent continues to do well, with continually improving mobility, living the life of a curious cat.
Can you tell us about any new products or services your company is developing?
New products addressing degenerative diseases of the canine hock and elbow have been developed which share a common set of instruments with a similar milling technology preparation. Implants are inserted as a pre-assembled cartridge providing initial stability and accuracy in placement restoring joint mobility as opposed to fusing the joints.
