The Upper Hand: Chuck & Chris Talk Hand Surgery

Chuck and Chris discuss advocacy. In this episode, we start with an adolescent elbow case as a warm up and then pivot to advocacy. Starting with a simple definition and explaining why it is so important for all of us. We use practical examples for discussion on all types of advocacy and why we should all engage in some manner.

Chuck and Chris have a good discussion based on several questions submitted by Chris Gayton at Ortho South Carolina and share why we are thankful at this time of year. We discuss when we consider carpal tunnel release and cubital tunnel surgery together, when we consider a distal ulnar tunnel decompression, and the role of dry arthroscopy in the setting of SL ligament injury.

Chuck and Chris welcome Jim Chang from Stanford University for a deep dive on two really amazing topics. First, we discuss Jim's leadership of the IFSSH Triannual Meeting in Washington DC March 24-28. And second, we discuss global reconstructive surgery and Jim's work in this area, specifically with Resurg International. Join us for interesting conversation (and then join us in DC). Jim had much to share about psychic compensation and 4 tenants to successful international work: finding the right host, being a good guest, making a lasting impact, and not competing with other organizations.
