An outstanding researcher, teacher and orthopaedic surgeon, Dr. Ian Macnab contributed significantly to orthopaedics in Canada. Following his passing in 1992 an educational lectureship was named in his honour, with the first lecture delivered by Dr. E.H. Simmons in 1994. The lectureship series continues on to this day with the Macnab Lecture presented annually during the Canadian Orthopaedic Research Society’s (CORS) program during the Canadian Orthopaedic Association’s (COA) Annual Meeting.
