Developing the latest innovations
"I spent years developing a new arthroscopic surgery to repair shoulder injuries as well as some of the devices needed to perform the procedure. All the time and effort I spent is worthwhile, because I see patients restored to a high level of strength and mobility, quicker and with better cosmetic results (smaller incisions)
