He is a two-time recipient of the Teacher of the Year Award from the OSU College of Medicine and has received several honors and awards for his research, including the Resident Research Award in 2004 from the Arthroscopy Association of North America and the Richard O’Connor Award in 2010, the association’s most prestigious research award. He was awarded the NFL Charities Medical Research Grant for examining the Effect of Season and Level of Play on Articular Cartilage Health in Collegiate Linemen.
He is the author of over 40 publications and has made research presentations at numerous national and international societies of which he is a member, including the International Cartilage Repair Society. In addition, Dr. Flanigan is a member of the Multicenter Orthopaedic Outcomes Network (MOON) and the Multicenter ACL Revision Study (MARS) which are both multi-center ACL reconstruction and revision outcome research studies. He currently is enrolling patients in two clinical trials in cartilage restoration (the CAIS trial and the DeNovo ET trial).
A native of the Chicago area, Dr. Flanigan received his Bachelor of Science from Wheaton College with honors while playing four years of Division III football as an offensive lineman.
