Events like the SOA meeting are invaluable—not only for staying current on the latest developments in our field, but also for building the professional connections that help us better serve our patients. We left Marco Island energized and motivated, with fresh ideas to bring back to my own practice.

✨ I'm thrilled to share that DisasterPlasty 2025 is officially here—kicking off this week at the stunning Scottsdale Resort and Spa by Hilton in Scottsdale, Arizona.

The DisasterPlasty Conference was created to help surgeons navigate complications when they occur—how to avoid, diagnose, and manage them with skill and confidence.

As one of the Conference Directors, I'm excited for a meeting that goes beyond the “good cases” and instead tackles the complicated 5% we often don’t talk about.

Here’s what makes this week unique:
🔹 Hands-on Learning & Open Dialogue – Faculty who are true practitioners, sharing real-world wisdom on infections, tough fractures, and failed joint replacements.
🔹 Immersive, Competitive Format – Interactive sessions and spirited discussions that make learning engaging and memorable.
🔹 Accredited CME – Up to 24.5 hours of CME, accredited by the Current Concepts Institute.
🔹 Networking in a Scenic Desert Oasis – A chance to connect and learn against the beautiful backdrop of Camelback Mountain.
We’ve designed DisasterPlasty to spotlight the complicated, the confounding, and the critical cases that often get overlooked. This is where innovation meets candid conversation—and that’s what makes this week so special.

Here’s to unforgettable learning, open dialogue, and professional growth.

See you in Scottsdale!

I’m proud to announce that I have joined the James A. Haley Veterans' Hospital team in Tampa as an orthopedic surgeon specializing in adult reconstructive surgery of the hip and knee.

Bringing advanced training from Mass General Hospital in the Harvard system, I will help with reducing wait times, improving efficiency, and expanding access to complex procedures such as revision arthroplasty and prosthetic joint infections.

Key initiatives I’m leading include:
• Building collaboration among Florida VA hospitals to strengthen in-system specialty care
• Introducing smart implant technology to monitor recovery remotely
• Bringing advanced surgical instrumentation from Shukla Medical in St. Petersburg
• Leveraging Tampa VA’s state-of-the-art rehab facilities to help veterans recover faster
• Working with the FIVE Labs center for our residency program.

I am deeply inspired by the team-based, patient-centered culture at the Tampa VA and look forward to advancing orthopedic care for those who served.

I’m honored to have received the Orthopedic Summit 2024 Distinguished Professor Award at this year’s OSET conference in Las Vegas! It was a privilege to share my insights on dual pivot technology in knee replacement, which I’ve been passionate about for nearly 20 years. I also announced my latest patent: the Lateral & Medial Pivoting Knee Prosthesis, which will advance patient outcomes.

A heartfelt thank you to the Orthopedic Summit and everyone who has supported my work in orthopedic innovation!
