Dr.Insall was a founding member of the Knee Society.
His foresight created the Insall Scott Kelly®
Institute for Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine
at Beth Israel Medical Center in New York City
in 1991. ISK® been the fastest growing orthopaedic
center in New York orthopaedic history since that
time.
In addition to his pre-eminent knee textbook
Surgery of the Knee (Churchill-Livingstone, 2000),
Dr. Insall wrote approximately 150 peer-reviewed
articles, 41 book chapters and 5 books. He has
also trained over 200 Orthopaedic residents and
100 national and international Knee Fellows throughout
his academic career.
Since 1974, Dr. Insall's initial total knee design
and its subsequent refinements have been the most
successful knee replacements worldwide. Almost
300,000 patients undergo knee replacements annually
and Dr. Insall's contribution is to the millions
of patients who have benefited from the use of
his design and surgical expertise. It's not just
older arthritic patients either - former athletes
such as Yankees players Whitey Ford and Clete
Boyer are among his innumerable patients.
While most celebrated academically for his contribution
in the treatment of the arthritic knee, Dr. Insall's
career also encompassed the treatment of all aspects
of knee disorders. Included in these discoveries
was the groundbreaking Anterior Cruciate Ligament
surgery eventually performed on Bernard King in
1985. Dr. Insall initially described this surgical
technique.
