Production of the web exhibit Joint Replacement was supported by a grant from The Ontario Trillium Foundation.

The on-line exhibit is based on the exhibit Joint Ventures which opened at the Museum of Health Care in 2001. The Museum would like to thank the project consultants who helped develop the original exhibit:

Dr. Tassos Anastassiades
Dr. Gavin Shanks
Dr. Charles Sorbie
Professor Henk Wevers
