Congratulations to our COA Member of the Month! Director of the Western Bone and Joint Institute and Associate Professor at Western University, Dr. Matthew Teeter advances imaging and digital technologies to improve mobility and quality of life after joint replacement. His research integrates CT-RSA, weight-bearing CT, PET/CT, and radiomics to assess implant fixation, bone quality, and inflammation—bridging engineering and clinical practice to guide surgical decision-making and implant innovation. His leadership and contributions have been recognized nationally and internationally with distinctions such as the CIHR New Investigator Award, the Coventry Award from The Knee Society, and the Neer Award from the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons. A Past President of both the Canadian Orthopaedic Research Society (CORS) and the International Society for Technology in Arthroplasty (ISTA), he continues to shape the field as a member of the COA, The Knee Society and the Canadian Arthroplasty Society (CAS). Congratulations on this well-deserved recognition and thank you for your outstanding impact on orthopaedic innovation.
