AO Foundation Receives Contribution

The following individuals made a meaningful contribution to the AOTrauma Education Commission: Jesse Jupiter, Fiesky Nunez and Renato Fricker. They did this in their capacity of editors of the latest book released by AOTrauma entitled, ‘Manual of Fracture Management-Hand.’

Professor R. Geoff Richards became Director of Research and Development at AO Foundation in September 2009. Since then he has been boosting collaborative efforts between the AO surgeon network and its clinical divisions, while making more tenacious academic connections to universities and societies throughout the world. Further, he has been instrumental in augmenting the AO Foundation’s academic noteworthiness by continuing to enhance its quality of publications such as the one mentioned above.

Of this publication, Kodi Kojima, AOTrauma Education Commission’s Chairman profusely thanked the authors but “not just for the development of this fine publication but also for their ongoing commitment towards AO education.” He added that it was his “honor to congratulate them and all those involved and [he] look[s] forward to their continued contribution in the future.”

Thereafter, the editors went up to the stage with Kojima to cut the ribbon from the first book and it was then launched for sale.
