Sept. 26, 2023 | LITTLE ROCK — Simon Mears, M.D., Ph.D., a board-certified orthopaedic surgeon at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS), has been elected to the prestigious Knee Society.

The academic, invitation-only national organization represents the world’s most influential surgeons and researchers in knee replacement. It is committed to advancing the care of patients with knee disorders through leadership in education and research, with a focus on total knee arthroplasty and the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis and other disease processes that lead to end-stage arthritis of the knee.

“Simon Mears is very deserving of recognition from this distinguished group, and we are so glad that UAMS Orthopaedics has him on our team,” said Lowry Barnes, M.D., chair of the UAMS Department of Orthopaedic Surgery. Barnes himself is widely recognized as one of the foremost joint replacement experts in the nation.
