Dr. Robert Anderson Surgeon Testimonial

Speaker  If I've had a very fortunate career and had the opportunity to take care of a lot of very interesting and high profile athletes, when I started my career, we were utilizing hardware and instrumentation that was meant for the knee or for the upper extremity. We didn't have anything specific for things like the Syndesmosis or the Achilles tendon. We really had to develop those instruments to manage those injuries better. We've seen the advancement of instrumentation techniques that have helped, particularly in the active, healthy individual, over the ensuing years with the help of the Arthrex engineers. One of the biggest advancements I've seen when it comes to Achilles tendon ruptures and repairs is the use of the percutaneous or the minimally invasive type techniques. I'm very proud to have been one of the design surgeons with the pars percutaneous Achilles repair system. Watching that become a mainstay in the armamentarium to treat Achilles tendon ruptures has been exciting for me. It's been a game changer. You have things now like the TightRope, which was extremely innovative and one of its kind when it first came out in the early 2000. We're seeing more and more of the advancement in of this whole idea of flexible fixation that is really revolutionized the way that we manage the so-called syndesmotic or high sprain type injuries. Speaker  95% of my lateral ankle reconstructions. I utilize the internal brace. The whole idea of utilizing internal brace is the whole rehab opportunities that affords. It allows you to start early motion without damaging any of the local tissue repair you might have done. It's very valuable for the whole rehab process and return to play. One of the highlights of my career has been sharing my experience with others, and I've been a huge proponent on medical education. The medical education opportunities here in Naples with Arthrex has been amazing. Hundreds, if not thousands of athletes have benefited from the Arthrex products that I was introduced to and was able to utilize throughout my surgical career. It's been a great relationship that I've had with Arthrex over the past 25 years. I expect we'll see a tremendous increase in innovation over the next ten, 15, 20 years. Who knows? But I have no doubt that that innovation will continue at multiple levels over the ensuing years.
