We were privileged to have Prof Ralph Hertel visit us on tues 24 june. He came to a/prof Engs operating theatre. He is visiting Australia to support shoulder education. Many ideas were exchanged and he was incredibly generous with his time and his ideas. He is the professor of shoulder surgery in Bern, the design surgeon for the medacta shoulder replacement , and has over 150 publications on shoulder surgery. His commitment to education and exchange was greatly appreciated.
