    Summary of Direct Charitable Activities
    List the foundation’s four largest direct charitable activities during the tax year. Include relevant statistical information such as the number of organizations and other beneficiaries served, conferences convened, research papers produced, etc. Expenses
    1 BROWN CARTILAGE (CARTILAGE REPAIR & REGENERATION PROGRAM)PATIENTS, WHOSE ACTIVITIES ARE LIMITED DUE TO ARTHRITIC KNEES BUT WHOSE PAIN IS NOT YET SEVERE ENOUGH TO WARRANT A TOTAL KNEE REPLACEMENT, FACE A PAUCITY OF TREATMENT OPTIONS. THE ARTICULAR CARTILAGE REPLACEMENT PROGRAM HAS SOUGHT TO DEVELOP A NOVEL MINIMALLY INVASIVE DEVICE TO REPLACE THE LOST AND DAMAGED CARTILAGE AND BONE IN THE MEDICAL CONDYLE OF THE KNEE IN THESE PATIENTS. THIS PROGRAM BEGAN WITH A THOROUGH LITERATURE SEARCH AND ANATOMIC STUDIES OF THE KNEE. NEXT, A SERIES OF PROTOTYPE IMPLANTS AND INSTRUMENTS WERE DEVELOPED TO MEET THE DESIGN CRITERIA OF THE IMPLANT. ONCE THE DESIGN WAS FINALIZED, PROGRAMS OF EXTENSIVE MECHANICAL TESTING AND IN VIVO ANIMAL STUDY WERE UNDER TAKEN. BASED ON THE RESULTS OF THESE STUDIES, HUMAN PROTOYPE INSTRUMENTS AND IMPLANT DESIGN HAVE BEEN FINALIZED AND MANUFACTURED. AN IDE APPLICATION HAS BEEN FILED. 208,440
    2 BROWN CARTILAGE (CARTILAGE REPAIR & REGENERATION PROGRAM - PATELLA)PATIENTS, WHOSE ACTIVITIES ARE LIMITED DUE TO ARTHRITIC KNEES BUT WHOSE PAIN IS NOT YET SEVERE ENOUGH TO WARRANT A TOTAL KNEE REPLACEMENT, FACE A PAUCITY OF TREATMENT OPTIONS. THE ARTICULAR CARTILAGE REPLACEMENT PROGRAM FOR THE PATELLA HAS SOUGHT TO DEVELOP A NOVEL MINIMALLY INVASIVE DEVICE TO REPLACE THE LOST AND DAMAGE CARTILAGE AND BONE IN THE TROCHLEA AND PATELLA OF THE KNEE IN THESE PATIENTS. THIS PROGRAM IS A DIRECT OFFSHOOT OF THE ORIGINAL CARTILAGE REPAIR AND REGENERATION PROGRAM. THE PROGRAM BEGAN WITH A THOROUGH LITERATURE SEARCH AND ANATOMIC STUDIES OF THE KNEE. IN 2013 THE CLINICAL QUALITY IMPLANTS AND INSTRUMENTS WERE FINALIZED AND THE REGULATORY FILING PROCESS BEGUN. 59,808
    3 BROWN PROSTHESIS (DIRECT TO SKELETON ATTACHMENT PROSTHESIS PROGRAM)RECOVERY FROM AN AMPUTATION IS A LONG AND COMPLEX PROCESS, OFTEN PRODUCING LESS-THAN-DESIRABLE RESULTS. EVEN A REHABILITATION THAT IS TERMED SUCCESSFUL WILL OFTEN INVOLVE COMPLICATIONS SUCH AS RESIDUAL LIMB SKIN BREAKDOWN, PAIN AND POOR CONTROL OF THE PROSTHETIC LIMB. THE PROSTHETIC ATTACHMENT PROGRAM HAS SOUGHT TO DEVELOP A PROSTHETIC LIMB IN WHICH AN IMPLANT WITHIN THE RESIDUAL LIMB REACTS WITH THE PROSTHETIC SOCKET TO PROVIDE A STABLE, NON-CONTACT CONNECTION BETWEEN THE PATIENT AND THE PROSTHESIS. THE INTERACTION OF THE SPECIALLY DESIGNED MAGNETIC SYSTEMS RESULTS IN A SYSTEM OF FORCES, BY WHICH THE PROSTHESIS AND THE PATIENT'S SKELETON ARE HELD IN MECHANCIAL EQUILIBRIUM,ELIMINATING PAIN AND SOFT TISSUE COMPLICATIONS ASSOCIATED WITH TRADITIONAL LIMB PROSTHESES. A DEFINITIVE ANIMAL PROTOTYPE AND PRECLINICAL STUDY HAS ALSO BEEN COMPLETED AND HAS BEEN PRESENTED AT SCIENTIFIC MEETINGS. 441,217

    1A THE MISSION OF THE FOUNDATION IS TO EXPAND SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE IN AREAS THAT ARE TRADITIONALLY UNDER-INVESTIGATED BUT HAVE POTENTIAL TO REDUCE HUMAN SUFFERING. AS SUCH, THE FOUNDATION HAS DEVELOPED NOVEL APPROACHES TO THE EVALUATION OF ORTHOPAEDIC IMPLANTS. THE FOUNDATION RECEIVED STUDY SUPPORT FOR COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH PROGRAMS THAT ARE IN LINE WITH THE FOUNDATION'S SCIENTIFIC EXPERTISE IN THE FIELD OF EVALUATING BONE GRAFT MATERIALS, COMPOUNDS THAT REGERNATE BONE, AND EVALUATING NOVEL NOVEL ORTHOPAEDIC IMPLANTS AND MATERIALS. STUDY SUPPORT WAS RECEIVED FOR PROGRAMS THAT CONSIST OF INDIVIDUAL SCIENTIFIC INVESTIGATIONS OF BONE GRAFT MATERIALS AND COMPOUNDS CAPABLE OF HASTENING BONE GROWTH AS WELL AS ANALYSIS SPINAL RECONSTRUCTION DEVICES. GENERALLY, THESE STUDIES INVOLVE AVENUES OF RESEARCH WHICH ARE GENERALLY BEYOND THE CAPABILITIES OF INDUSTRY. FUNDS HAVE BEEN UTILIZED TO FURTHER DEVELOP TREATMENTS FOR OSTEOARTHRITIS OF THE KNEE FOR YOUNGER PATIENTS FOR WHICH THERE ARE FEW TREATMEN
