Dr. Lasun Oladeji, Year 2 Resident Physician and PhD candidate, received the Littlejohn Legacy Research Award at this year’s Comparative Orthopaedics Day.

After receiving the award, Oladeji presented his team’s research about the use of hyperosmolar saline during arthroscopy. Results of the work suggest that hyperosmolar saline irrigation fluid may provide a safe alternative to standard isotonic saline irrigation fluid and could improve inflammatory responses after standard-of-care knee arthroscopy.

The Littlejohn Legacy Award was established to honor the life and legacy of Dr. Robert Littlejohn and support orthopaedic learners in pursuit of advances that change health care for the better.

Congratulations, Dr. Oladeji!
