I salute your leadership and accomplishment with EWAS. It continues to amaze me that as I began to explore the possible reliable application of arthroscopy and arthroscopic surgery to the wrist twenty years ago that it would prove so useful to so many surgeons and patients. I am impressed with the continued improvements and techniques that have been developed, and I thank you for sustaining the growth and expansion of these techniques through education and fellowship.
Sincerely yours,
