He earned his medical degree from Virginia Commonwealth School of Medicine in Richmond, Virginia, and completed his residency at Newark, New Jersey-based Rutgers University.
He then underwent fellowship training in hand and upper extremity surgery, with advanced training in microvascular from The Hand Center of San Antonio in Texas.

This is a fascinating development. In my practice we've seen similar outcomes with the revised protocol. The key differentiator seems to be patient selection criteria. Has anyone else noticed the correlation with BMI thresholds?
Great point. I'd push back slightly on the conclusion, the sample size in the cited study is too small to draw population-level inferences. That said, the directional signal is compelling and worth a larger RCT.
We implemented a similar approach last year. Early results are promising but we're still gathering 12-month follow-up data. Happy to share our protocol if anyone is interested.
