Last week, I had the great pleasure of welcoming Bobby Chhabra, current President of the ASSH 🇺🇸 🇨🇦 (American Society for Surgery of the Hand ASSH ), together with Brent DeGeorge and their Fellows, Evelyn Reed and Parker Johnson, who came from the University of Virginia, USA, to visit me in Buenos Aires. 🇦🇷🤝🇺🇸
It was a real pleasure to share these days with them in the operating room and to show them the way we perform different arthroscopic techniques. We had the opportunity to work together and exchange experiences in cases involving dorsal and volar ganglions, ECU tenoscopy, arthroscopic assistance in C3 fractures, scaphoid waist nonunion, proximal pole scaphoid nonunion, 360 scapholunate reconstruction for static instability, DIC plication for the treatment of dynamic instability, and foveal TFCC reinsertion with a double band technique to reinsert the palmar and dorsal ligaments. 🔬🖐️
It was an unforgettable experience. Beyond the surgical and academic side, these days allowed us to exchange a great deal of knowledge, learn from one another, and begin what I am sure will be a great friendship. 🙏
A special thank you to my wife Nadia Santoro , for supporting me throughout these days. I am also very grateful to my scrub nurse Pau Auscarriaga , who as always was incredibly efficient in the operating room. My sincere thanks as well to Climba Traumatología and to Dr. Lupotti y Equipo for allowing me to carry this forward in such a high level environment and with such a wonderful experience. 😊
