<p>Wudbhav N. Sankar, MD</p>
<p>Sankar 博士接替因醫療原因辭去骨科中心主任職務的 John M. &#34;Jack&#34; Flynn 博士，後者將繼續在 CHOP 任職。作為 CHOP 的醫生已有 30 年，Flynn 博士擔任主任超過十年，領導了兒童骨科的變革性進展。在他的領導下，CHOP 的骨科團隊使脊柱側彎手術變得更快更安全，開發了大幅減少截肢需求的肢體保留腫瘤治療，開展了顯著減少術後麻醉藥物使用的研究，引入了挽救生命的胸部功能不足評估和治療，並推動了圖像引導脊柱導航技術的進步，提高了全國範圍內畸形手術的安全性。</p>
<p>“在我們即將進行這一過渡之際，我們慶祝 Flynn 博士在持續創新和安全性提升方面的遺產，以及將繼續惠及幾代兒童的護理改善，” CHOP 首席外科醫生 N. Scott Adzick 博士表示。“我們非常幸運，Sankar 博士作為一名敬業的臨牀醫生和研究者，在我們的團隊中發揮了關鍵作用，將負責該中心。在他的領導下，我們將繼續增強在骨科護理方面的全球地位，加快早期診斷，提供更安全的干預措施，並追求有益於患者和家庭的創新。”</p>
<p>CHOP 的骨科中心在運動醫學、骨折護理以及兒童、青少年和年輕成人的複雜上肢、神經肌肉和脊柱疾病方面提供深入的專業知識。CHOP 以卓越的治療效果和以家庭為中心的護理而聞名，始終在_U.S. News 6 World Report_評選的全國兒童醫院骨科、運動醫學和骨骼健康領域中名列前茅，並被_Newsweek_評選為最佳兒童骨科項目之一。</p>
<p>Sankar 博士目前擔任年輕成人髖關節保護項目的主任，並領導 CHOP 的髖關節疾病項目。他為患有各種髖關節疾病的嬰兒、兒童和年輕人提供護理，包括髖關節發育性發育不良（DDH）、股骨髖關節撞擊（FAI）、Legg-Calvé-Perthes 病和滑脱性股骨頭骨骼（SCFE）。</p>
<p>“能夠招募、指導和提升那些推動我們項目在全國名列前茅的傑出骨科教師，是我職業生涯中的一大榮幸，” Flynn 説。“自 2009 年加入 CHOP 以來，Sankar 博士在提高兒童髖關節和脊柱疾病的護理標準方面發揮了重要作用——推動臨牀進展，培養下一代，並改善無數患者和家庭的結果。”</p>
<p>在 CHOP 任職期間，Sankar 博士開創了針對未能接受 Pavlik 吊帶治療的嬰兒的非傳統支具，開發了用於脱位髖關節的術中和術後血流評估技術，並引入了門診超聲以加快診斷和決策。他還幫助創建了專門的脊柱團隊，縮短了手術時間並改善了脊柱側彎的治療效果，並在開發 CHOP 的脊柱側彎快速康復路徑方面發揮了重要作用，該路徑最大限度地控制疼痛和早期活動，最小化阿片類藥物的使用，使許多兒童在重大脊柱矯正手術後幾天內能夠回家。</p>
<p>Sankar 博士的研究重點是髖關節發育不良的公共衞生改善、針對嬰兒 DDH 的新型超聲技術、滑脱性骨骼和患有 21 三體綜合症兒童的髖關節不穩定的最佳管理。他是國際髖關節發育不良研究所（IHDI）的副主任，在包括國際 Perthes 研究小組（IPSG）和 ANCHOR 在內的多中心研究小組中擔任重要角色，並在 Legg-Calvé-Perthes 基金會的董事會中任職。</p>
<p>“我對 Flynn 博士的遠見卓識領導、指導和不懈追求卓越深表感激，” Sankar 説，他還是賓夕法尼亞大學佩雷爾曼醫學院的骨科外科教授。“我很榮幸能在一個以勤奮、同情和跨學科合作而聞名的項目中擔任 CHOP 的骨科主任。與我們傑出的團隊一起，我致力於加速創新、改善康復，併為我們服務的每個兒童和家庭提供最高質量的結果。”</p>
<p>Sankar 博士獲得了康奈爾大學的工程學學位和賓夕法尼亞大學醫學院的醫學學位。他在賓夕法尼亞大學完成了骨科外科培訓，在洛杉磯兒童醫院和洛杉磯 Shriners 兒童醫院完成了兒童骨科研究員培訓，並在波士頓兒童醫院接受了青少年和年輕成人髖關節保護的高級培訓。他已發表超過 150 篇同行評審的文章、章節和評論，並撰寫和編輯了兩本書。</p>
<p>Sankar 博士還是費城兒童醫院（CHOP）骨科研究員項目的主任，該項目被公認為全國頂尖的研究員培訓項目之一。他積極參與多個專業協會，包括美國骨科醫師學會（AAOS）、美國骨科協會（AOA）、脊柱側彎研究協會（SRS）以及北美兒科骨科協會（POSNA）。在 POSNA 內，他曾擔任董事會的初級成員和秘書，目前負責全球最重要的兒科骨科教育活動：國際兒科骨科研討會，簡稱 IPOS。</p>

</div><p>Dr. Sankar succeeds John M. &#34;Jack&#34; Flynn, MD, who will remain on staff at CHOP while stepping down as Chief of the Orthopedic Center for medical reasons. A CHOP physician for 30 years and Chief for more than a decade, Dr. Flynn has led transformative advances in pediatric orthopedics. During his leadership, CHOP's Orthopedics team made scoliosis surgery faster and safer, developed limb‑sparing tumor treatments that greatly reduced the need for amputations, led research that sharply reduced postoperative narcotic use, introduced lifesaving evaluations and treatments for thoracic insufficiency, and advanced image‑guided spine navigation techniques that have improved the safety of deformity surgeries nationwide.</p>

Scott Adzick, MD, CHOP's Surgeon‑in‑Chief. &#34;We're very fortunate that Dr. Sankar, a dedicated clinician and researcher who has played a pivotal role on our team, will oversee the center. Under his leadership, we will continue to strengthen our global standing in orthopedic care, accelerate earlier diagnosis, deliver safer interventions and pursue innovations that benefit patients and families.&#34;</p>
