As a first year orthopaedic surgery resident at New Jersey Medical School in Newark, New Jersey, I first met Michael J. Pappas, PhD, my biomechanics teacher from New Jersey Institute of Technology, (NJIT) (also in Newark, N.J.). It was early in 1974 when my orthopaedic chairman, Anthony F. DePalma, MD (a feisty, world renowned shoulder surgeon and founder of Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research) decided that his orthopaedic residents needed to have an understanding of engineering principles as they applied to bone and joint surgery. To that end he enlisted two mechanical engineering volunteers from NJIT, Harry Herman, PhD and his junior associate Michael J. Pappas, PhD. |
