“WALKING WITH GIANTS®”: MY PERSONAL JOURNEY

Current Concepts in Joint Replacement (CCJR) – Winter 2013



Abstract

Much is made of the role of good judgment in the reduction of error, although it is undeniable that error has a role in the development of such judgment. Hence retrospectives from those with experience have merit if we can assume they have introspection and insight as well.

In this panel discussion we will explore the experience of a group of renowned surgeons in the field of hip and knee reconstruction, and we will seek their wisdom on new techniques and technology, honed over a few decades of exciting discovery and oft-times unexpected disappointment.

In addition, as the session title suggests, these revered colleagues will be invited to reflect on those they encountered, in person or otherwise, by happenstance or design, who profoundly influenced their careers and how that influence shaped their lives and the lives of those entrusted to their care.
