We here at Canada East Foot & Ankle are thrilled to share that our Dalhousie Medicine New Brunswick (DMNB) student Ore Alugo has won the Recherche NB Research NB 2025 Health Research Symposium poster competition in the clinical stream for her research project!

Ore’s project was to determine which posterior tibial tendon transfer route provides the greatest tendon distance in tunnel (TDIT) to the lateral cuneiform, and to assess the effect of routing the tendon over vs. under the extensor retinaculum.

Her research plays an important role in helping us optimize surgical procedures with the goal of reducing operating time, blood loss, and infection rates. Next steps are to implement these findings into the operating room!

The Canada East Foot & Ankle would like to extend our sincere thanks to our funders who supported this project. Without them, we would be unable to continue our work on improving patient care! Thank you to the Saint John Regional Hospital Foundation and the 2025 Dalhousie Medicine Health Research Award. As well, we also express our gratitude to the donors of the Body Donation Program at Dalhousie University, whose generosity makes this work possible!
