Title
2020 YIS Finalist
Bio
Each year, 10,000 Canadians are affected by osteochondral defects, an area of damage involving bone and cartilage. Currently, there is no adequate treatment for this disorder, but for his YIS submission, 16-year-old Cranbrook, BC resident Braxton Chan designed a promising and innovative treatment option.
Braxton developed a novel surgical procedure to treat osteochondral defects in particular joints, using fibrocartilage transplantation. After 7 weeks, tests proved that the fibrocartilage could withstand the load of a normal joint, making it an exciting potential treatment option for osteochondral defects.
Encouraged by early results, Braxton is eager to share his project findings with as many people and platforms as possible, and receive feedback. He is also excited to further develop his project into a real-world, clinical application.
