As president of the American Academy of Orthopaedic surgeons (AAOS), secretary of the American Orthopaedic Association (AOA), president of the American College of Surgeons, and Professor and Chairman of Orthopedic Surgery at Columbia’s School of Physicians and Surgeons, he was a man of broad experience and wide vision. …he saw the potential for a major role of total hip replacement surgery in the management of end-stage arthritic problems of the hip."
    – William H. Harris, MD, D.Sc, Founding Member and Past President of The Hip Society

  • The Hip Society Lifetime Achievement Awards

  • Clive P. Duncan, MD, FRCSC
    Recipient of the 2016 Lifetime Achievement Award

    To say that Dr. Duncan has a deep passion for hip surgery is an understatement. Ever since becoming an orthopaedic surgeon, he has been working on improving hip health. From the time he moved to British Columbia, Canada from his native Ireland, via the United Kingdom, Dr. Duncan has been one of the leading hip surgeons in Canada. A gifted surgeon, he has dedicated his career to improving techniques of revision total hip arthroplasty. When the rest of the world regarded that an infected hip replacement bed needs to be free of any foreign material, Dr. Duncan developed the concept of a mobile spacer, which revolutionized the treatment of the infected hip replacement. He also established one of Canada’s and North America’s premier arthroplasty units, and has trained young surgeons from all over the world. The impact of his wisdom and knowledge has served to improve lives and mobility of millions of patients worldwide.
     
    Congratulations, Dr. Duncan!
