Philosophy of Care
I am actively involved in the field of orthopedic medicine at the national level,
teaching other surgeons how to best care for their patients' hand problems through
scholarly writings and lectures.
I was the co-editor of an issue of Hand
Clinics, which was dedicated to the treatment of distal radius (wrist) fractures,
a common injury to the wrist. I regularly speak at national meetings, including the
Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, lecturing on the treatment
of scaphoid fractures of the wrist.
I have also authored or co-authored
publications on the complications of distal radius fractures and principles of treatment
of distal radius fractures. I have also published on emerging treatments for scaphoid
fractures.
