Muscle health is more than just strength; it’s a critical driver of outcomes across the entire surgical journey.

At SPRI, our research spans regenerative medicine, biomechanics and outcomes to better understand how skeletal muscle influences recovery, performance and long-term mobility.

SPRI investigates muscle’s role in orthopaedic repair—before, during and after surgery. We’re developing new approaches to optimize patient outcomes, reduce complications and support faster, more complete recovery by harnessing the body’s own healing power.

Through collaborative, team-based science, we’re building a more complete picture of muscle health, and translating that knowledge into better care for patients at every stage of life.

Congratulations to Dr. Johnny Huard, PhD, Chief Scientific Officer of Steadman Philippon Research Institute, on receiving the second annual Arnold I. Caplan Award for Distinguished Research in Orthobiologics from the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons at its annual meeting in New Orleans.

Presented through the Orthopaedic Research and Education Foundation, the Caplan Award recognizes researchers whose work has significantly advanced the development of new therapeutic solutions in orthobiologics and medicinal signaling cells.

Dr. Huard was honored for his manuscript exploring the origin, mechanisms and clinical applications of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). His research reflects over three decades of pioneering work in regenerative medicine, including the discovery of muscle-derived stem cells and their potential role in tissue engineering and musculoskeletal healing.

Under Dr. Huard’s leadership, SPRI continues to advance translational research and clinical innovation in regenerative and orthopaedic medicine.
