The CHKR, which Dr. Macaulay founded in 2001, was honorably mentioned in 2006 in New York Magazine as a top center for total hip replacement in New York.  In 2007, Dr. Macaulay’s hip resurfacing and patients were the topic of prominent stories in The New York Times and on the CBS Evening News with Katie Curic.

The mission of The Hip Society is to advance knowledge of the hip joint in health and in distress.
