Steven P. Arnoczky, DVM, was awarded the 2013 Werner Müller International Knee Prize last week. He is the fifth recipient and the first non-physician to receive the award, which recognizes lifetime contributions to the art and science of knee surgery.

The award is named after Professor Werner Müller from Basel, Switzerland whose pioneering work in knee anatomy, function, and ligament reconstruction is the foundation on which current surgical techniques of the knee are based. Arnoczky received the award at the 2013 meeting of the Magellan Society in conjunction with the International Society of Arthroscopy, Knee Surgery, and Orthopaedic Sports Medicine meeting held in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, May 12-16, 2013.
