A messAge From our ChAirmAn
SCArBOrOUgH
It is with great enthusiasm that I take over as chair of the Department of Orthopedic and Rehabilitation at the
University of Florida. Over the past fifty years, this department has been led by outstanding leaders and has
produced excellent physicians, scientists, products and discoveries. I am humbled, honored and thrilled with the
opportunity to continue this legacy. The future outlook for the department is exciting because of the foundation
that has been laid down by many different leaders in the department. Dr. Peter Indelicato retired yesterday. Dr. Pete
did his last arthroscopy in a Shands OR with Ms. Gladys Ellis handing him instruments and singing her praises. It’s
a long way from the ureteroscopes they started with nearly forty years and four operating suites ago. Dr. Indelicato
left his mark on our program, dozens of our residents have completed sports medicine fellowships after being
inspired by him. Thanks Pete.
Clinically the department continues to provide excellent primary and tertiary orthopedic care to patients but we
have welcomed numerous new primary care musculoskeletal providers and Orthopedic surgeons. Their profiles are
featured in this edition of iNSIGHTS. We graduated our first trauma fellow and our second shoulder reconstruction
fellow. The vision is to grow the department clinically. This is in the tradition of Dr. Bill Petty who significantly
expanded the scope of our clinical practice and established the foundation for excellence in clinical care and
research. The department recently started an after hours orthopedic clinic, ORTHOcare, providing immediate care
for musculoskeletal problems with ease of access to care. This patient centered easy access clinic provides a great
service to the community and turns out to be educational as well. The departmental strategic plan is to continue to
expand our cadre of primary care musculoskeletal physicians and orthopedic surgeons.
Educationally the department is thriving. With the foundation laid by Dr. VanderGriend and Dr. Jim Atchison we
anticipate continuing to produce the finest orthopedic surgeons, and PM&R physicians. Educating that very special
rare breed of orthopaedic surgeon, “the physician scientist” is in the very capable hands of Drs. Gibbs, Ghivizzani
and Decker who have stimulated our residents and medical students with their exciting work.
The research emanating from the department is resulting in significant discoveries. This success again can be
attributed to the foundation laid by Drs. Enneking, Gearen and Wright as they sheparded the resources of the
department and made investing in discovery their highest priority. These discoveries have been multi-dimensional
and have included the biological research of Drs. Ghivizzani and Gibbs, the biomechanical research of Drs. Kevin
and Heather Vincent, Conrad and MacMillan and clinical research of Drs. Wright, Moser, Farmer, Decker, Vlasak,
Gibbs, MacMillan, Horodyski and others. One measure of research success is NIH funding level. This department
is currently ranked 19th in the USA in NIH funding by orthopedic departments and is on track to become a top 10
program within a few years.
The research division is prospering and we plan to expand this division further by hiring two new Ph.D. scientists
with expertise in molecular orthopaedics and human dynamics.
Our goals are to advance the department from GREAT to the BEST. It will be a lot of work but the desire is there
in everyone who walks through the door. Thanks to the leaders who came before me, to our grateful patients and
friends of the department, we have the foundation to make this happen.
Go Gators!

What better way to start the alumni
news than to acknowledge our
four graduating Residents.
Jim Rice is doing a spine fellowship at
West Virginia University. Sean Griffin
is doing a trauma fellowship in Carolinas
Medical Center. John McCormick is
doing a spine fellowship at the University
of Virginia, and Dave Ryan is doing
a sports fellowship at the Orthopaedic
Research Virginia program. Kudos to
these four great residents.
We would like to re-start an annual dues. We historically had
collected dues in the past which were used for resident educational
purposes. The utilization of the dues have been and would be
specifically for resident education as well as purchases such as
individual lead aprons. Further funds would be used for books
and travel through an internal grant system. We would like to set
the dues at $200 annually. Checks can be made out to:

I started at another school but then became a part of the Junior
Honors Medical Program. As a result when I graduated with my
four-year degree, I had also completed one year of medical school.
WHAt IntErEStED yOU In tHE FIELD OF
OrtHOPAEDICS? I had an interest in ortho due to some
personal experiences as a child, treated by Dr. Croft also a UF
Ortho alumni but it was crystallized during a summer high school
scholarship program. I got the opportunity to be in the operating
room for a hip and knee replacement. I knew then I wanted to
become an orthopaedic surgeon.

that was stressful at times. The professors and attendings set
high expectations which forced you to be prepared to meet those
expectations - all to treat patients correctly. This would be a
tremendous help to me as a physician and surgeon. There were
many fun times as well and always new things to learn.

surgeon gives $1.1 million to help Fund

sCArborough nAmed As First to hold the ChAir
By Melanie Stawicki AZam
Orthopaedic surgeon and entrepreneur William E.
Anspach Jr., M.D., recently gave more than $1.1
million to the UF College of Medicine to help fund
the William F. Enneking, William E. Anspach, and
Orthopaedic Alumni endowed chair.
Anspach Jr., who completed his orthopaedic residency at UF in
1969, holds multiple patents for medical devices and founded two
successful medical device companies. He received the university’s
Distinguished Achievement Award in 2005.
The chair is named in honor of the two great physicians who impacted
his life the most, Anspach Jr. said. They include his late father,
William E. Anspach, M.D., who was a radiologist in Chicago
and associate professor at Northwestern University, and William F.
Enneking, M.D., the world-renowned UF orthopaedics physician
and scientist who was Anspach Jr.’s mentor during his orthopaedics
residency at UF.
“My father and Dr. Enneking were physician’s physicians,” he
said, adding that they genuinely cared about each patient and adhered
to the highest standard of ethics.
Mark T. Scarborough, M.D., has been named the first holder of
the William F. Enneking, William E. Anspach, and Orthopaedic
Alumni endowed chair. Chairman of UF’s department of orthopaedics
and rehabilitation, he is an orthopaedic oncologist who has
been a faculty member for 20 years. His clinical focus has been on
complex limb salvage in the treatment of conditions such as bone
cancer.
“Personally, it’s an honor to be in that chair because Dr. Enneking
has been my mentor forever,” said Scarborough. “And it’s an honor
to have the respect of Dr. Anspach.”
A Gainesville native, Scarborough earned his medical degree at
UF in 1985, then completed his residency in orthopaedic surgery
at the University of Texas Medical Branch, and a fellowship in
orthopaedic oncology at Massachusetts General Hospital and Boston
Children’s Hospital. He returned to UF in 1991 to work in the
department of orthopaedics and has held several leadership positions
over the years. He was named the Eugene Jewitt professor of
orthopaedic surgery in 2004.
Dr. WILLIAM F. EnnEKIng
For the department, which celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2010,
Anspach’s gift will help further its goal of becoming one of the top
10 NIH-funded orthopaedics programs in the U.S, Scarborough
said. The department currently ranks 19th.
Anspach Jr. would like the chair to carry on the legacy of his father
and mentor, who were true leaders in their fields.
William E. Anspach was one of the first radiologists in Chicago,
serving several hospitals, trained many residents and specialized

in pediatric radiology. The younger Anspach described his father
as “quiet with a great sense of humor” and a doctor who took the
time to listen to his patients.
Enneking was William E. Anspach Jr.’s role model and the reason
why he said he switched his orthopaedics residency location
midstream from the Mayo Clinic to UF. He went beyond just
rote memorization, teaching students how diseases worked and
the body responded, so they could use their own logic to treat a
patient.
“Dr. Enneking was a truly great and inspiring teacher,” Anspach
Jr. said. “Plus, he really cared about us—he didn’t just treat us like
hired help.”
A world-renowned physician and scientist specializing in
musculoskeletal pathology and tumor surgery, Enneking joined
the UF COM faculty in 1960. He became chairman of UF’s
orthopaedic surgery department, boosting its size and prestige
during his long tenure.
Now a distinguished service professor
emeritus of orthopaedic
surgery at UF, he became an international
leader in his field, developing
pioneering treatments for
bone and muscle diseases, including
limb-saving procedures for
patients with for bone cancers.
“
“Of course, I was completely surprised
and obviously pleased,”
said Enneking, when asked about
the gift in his honor. “I’ve know Dr. Anspach (Jr.) for a long time
and I’m a great admirer of him.”
The Enneking Endowment was created by orthopaedic resident
alumni and colleagues in 2005, to honor Enneking’s retirement
and establish an endowed chair in his honor. Anspach’s gift of
$1.127 million, plus more than $300,000 contributed by other donors,
established the endowed position, which will fund research
and salary support for the orthopaedics department in perpetuity.

This is not the first time that Anspach Jr. has donated to UF in his
mentor’s name. Anspach Jr. also provided funds for the UF’s Enneking-
Anspach Study Center, which is dedicated to the study of
muculoskeletal pathology and disease in honor of Enneking.
Anspach Jr. wishes his father, who died in 1964, could have seen
him succeed as a doctor and manufacturer. Growing up in Chicago,
the younger Anspach was more interested in building street rods
and engines than studying.

— William E. anspach Jr.
“I was suspended four times
from three high schools in my
first two years for insubordination
and goofing off,” he said.
“My mind saw only carburetors
and girls.”
He initially mowed lawns as a
teenager to support his interests
but then formed a house painting
business that, for a while,
outearned his father.
“William, you have way too much money,” his mother said.
He bought his first car, a 1934 Ford, for $10 when he was in the
seventh grade. He fixed it up and eventually was old enough to
actually drive it.
In the 70’s, Anspach would drive his home modified Formula C
racer to two national championships.
He attended Stanford University for medical school, ( UF turned
him down ) completed an internship at Philadelphia General

Hospital and began his orthopaedics residency at the Mayo Clinic.
Nine months after starting his residency, he was drafted into the
U.S. Air Force. It was during the Vietnam War, but he was not sent
overseas. Instead he was stationed for two years at Strategic Air
Command Headquarters in Omaha, Nebraska.
He didn’t want to return to his Mayo residency and luckily was
accepted into UF’s orthopaedic residency program.
“I was so lucky that Dr. Enneking took me,” Anspach said. “And I
was scared to death of him—he doesn’t suffer fools lightly.”
During his three years at UF, Anspach said he was thrilled to be
able to spend one year doing research, which involved studying
ways to accelerate bone healing.
After residency, Anspach went into private practice in West Palm
Beach and continued to do research, focusing on the prevention of
postoperative wound infection. These studies led to his appointment
as an instructional course lecturer for the American Academy
of Orthopedic Surgery and the founding of Laminaire Corporation,
a company which manufactured air filtration systems and negatively
pressurized surgical suits.

His second company started by happenstance. Anspach needed a
power tool to remove a broken total hip implant that cost about
$10,000 and decided to create his own for $100 instead. It worked
so well that other surgeons asked him to make one for them.
When he was overwhelmed with requests, he started his own
company, The Anspach Effort Inc., in 1977. This company
eventually grew to be one of the largest manufacturers of
neurosurgical and robotic power tools in the world. He sold the
company to Synthes in 2010. Synthes is currently being acquired
by Johnson & Johnson.
His son, William E. Anspach, III, M.D., who is an orthopaedic surgeon
in private practice in Stuart, started another company, TMJ
Concepts. Located in California, the company makes custom temporomandibular
joints.
Now retired, Anspach lives with his wife Kenna in North Carolina,
outside of Asheville. He has three grown children with his late
wife Judy.

Padraic Levings attended the University at Stony Brook where he
majored in Biochemistry and graduated with honors in 1998. He
received his doctoral training at the University of Florida under
the mentorship of Jorg Bungert. The primary focus of his doctoral
research was the study of gene regulation using the human
beta-globin gene locus as a model system. During the course of
his graduate studies he received extensive training in the use of
techniques to study epigenetic gene regulation, transcription, stem
cell biology, and development. Dr. Levings also received extensive

include the generation and use of viral vectors for gene transfer,
cancer cell biology, and the development of in an in vivo model
to study tumorigenisis in osteosarcoma. He recently published a
research paper in the journal Cancer Research, identifying tumorigenic
sub-populations within osteosarcoma xenografts. In the past
year he has expanded upon his previous data and has been able to
elucidate the molecular basis for tumorigenesis in osteosarcoma as
well potential mechanism for the induced reversion of this capability

On average, one in four persons in the United States has a
musculoskeletal condition (1). The majority of musculoskeletal
conditions documented are caused by traumatic
events due to a sudden impact to the body from an external force
(2). The most common traumatic events experienced by Americans
include motor vehicle accidents, falls, knife and gunshot
wounds, and accidents due to sport or recreational activities (3). In
2010, 1,898 cases were treated within the Division of Orthopaedic
Trauma at the University of Florida for orthopaedic injuries caused
by traumatic events. Similarly in 2011, 1,864 cases were treated.
Attending surgeons Drs. Kalia Sadasivan and Richard Vlasak
offer expert knowledge and training to both resident and fellow
physicians to ensure successful administration of surgical procedures
to treat traumatic orthopaedic injuries. They also recognize
the importance of clinical research and have promoted this notion
to their fellows and residents.
Members of the Division of Orthopaedic Trauma have become actively
involved in identifying, recruiting, and enrolling of patients
into new and exciting clinical research studies. Some studies that
have been or are currently being conducted include retrospective
design studies that examine past patient medical record data to answer
specific research questions. Earlier this year a retrospective
design study had been conducted to examine the effect of minimally
invasive surgical procedures on ankle fracture patients who
were 55 years or older. Another study will evaluate obesity in patients
with acetabular (hip ball and socket joint) fractures and its
overall impact on healthcare costs. Yet another study will compare
the effect of standard versus emergent methods of treating syndesmosis
(fibrous joint) injuries.
A sponsor-funded prospective research study is currently being
conducted in the Division of Orthopaedic Trauma at the University
of Florida and at seven additional sites in the United States and
Canada. This study compares radiation exposure levels in both patients
and surgeons during the utilization of either of two surgical
techniques to treat femoral shaft fractures. The results of this study
will be of importance to surgeons as they are repeatedly exposed to
radiation during their careers. Identification of a surgical technique
that reduces or eliminates radiation exposure may contribute to
surgeons’ future health status.
The Division of Orthopaedic Trauma at the University of Florida
plans to conduct more studies in the future months. Recently, Dr.
Sadasivan collaborated with stakeholders at an inaugural meeting
of the Florida Fracture Consortium held during the Annual Meeting
of the Florida Orthopaedic Society. It was discussed that a research
study proposal will be developed and the research will be
implemented at multiple sites throughout Florida. If approved, this
study will research a noninvasive method of identifying patients at
risk for compartment syndromes. A pre-application has been submitted
to receive grant funding for this project.
