“I have spent the last thirty years operating on the upper extremity, both open and arthroscopically, and enjoy sharing my experience and maybe even a pearl or two, with surgeons interested in learning the techniques. Nothing is as exciting and fulfilling as helping someone learn a new technique and watching the ‘aha’ moments!”
– John V. Ingari, MD, FAAOS
