ASES News – June 2022
Presidential Message From Xavier A. Duralde, MD
Atlanta!
I am very excited to welcome the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons to my hometown of Atlanta for the 2022 Annual Meeting! We have an outstanding academic program being formulated by Drs. Joaquin Sanchez-Sotelo and Matt Provencher that you will hear about more as we get closer to the October meeting date. I want to focus on the social activities that will make this a meeting to remember and will strengthen your sense of belonging to our great society. In the tradition of our Closed Meetings from years ago, I want this to be as much a social as an academic experience for all of us. We will have plenty of academic content and will start our days early with ICLs and move into stimulating symposia and paper sessions. However, each day will end mid-afternoon to allow attendees to see the sites of Atlanta and enjoy the pleasant fall weather in the company of old friends and new acquaintances in ASES.
Our hotel is located within walking distance of Olympic Centennial Park and its environs which include the Civil Rights Museum, the World of Coca-Cola, the College Football Hall of Fame, and CNN headquarters. The Georgia Aquarium is also there and will be the site of a function open to everyone on Saturday night. This will include access to the entire Aquarium during the afternoon followed by a gathering in their Oceans Ballroom with food stations and an open bar. Everyone including family members are welcome. The Hall is lined with huge floor-to-ceiling glass walls that give one the feeling of being inside the great fish tanks looking up at the Beluga whales and sharks as they swim past! It is a breathtaking view and a wonderful venue to get to know your fellow ASES members better. Friday night will feature a function at the High Museum of Art for the Neer Circle members and Guest Nation, Spain. For everyone else, it will be a free night to explore Atlanta cuisine and we are in the process of creating a list of the best restaurants in town from which to pick. Atlanta is a foodie town with eclectic tastes to suit everyone. For those interested in a little more exploration of the town, the Martin Luther King Historic Site and Ebenezer Baptist Church are within a mile of our hotel. Stone Mountain Park makes a great half-day trip for the family and gives incredible views of the city.
Strengthening the bonds between us improves our ability to collaborate and advance the science of shoulder and elbow surgery even further. We must take advantage of our Annual Meeting not only to learn of the latest advances in our field but also to get to know each other better socially and strengthen our working relationships. I look forward to seeing all of you in Atlanta in October!

Neer and Morrey Award Submissions
Submissions for both the Neer and Morrey Awards are due by Friday, July 1st, 2022.
The Charles S. Neer Award
In the past, The Neer Award papers have been selected from abstracts accepted to the ASES Annual Meeting or Specialty Day programs. Each year we receive many quality papers that are not considered for The Neer Award due to the papers not being selected by the meeting’s Program Planning Committee. To remedy this, the Executive Committee approved the creation of a new independent award submission process last year that will allow more papers to be considered for the award. Additionally, going forward only shoulder paper submissions will be accepted for this Award.
Click here for more details regarding the new submission process.
The Bernard F. Morrey Award
ASES is very pleased to announce the Morrey Award, a new award established last year in honor of Dr. Bernard Morrey who is one of the founding members of our society. The award has been created to provide recognition for outstanding clinical or basic science investigations contributing to the understanding, care or prevention of injuries to the elbow. The Morrey Award will be awarded each year to the best elbow (clinical or basic science) paper.

2022 Fellow's Symposium Re-Cap
On Friday, June 17th ASES held the 2022 Fellow’s Symposium which took place during the San Diego Shoulder Institute (SDSI). Chaired by Drs. Albert Lin, Michael Amini, and Justin Griffin. This unique educational and networking event provided an opportunity for graduating fellows to present their research, further their orthopaedic knowledge, and interact with experts in the field.
Two awards were presented during this symposium. The Robert H. Cofield, MD, Award for Best Oral Presentation was presented to Jeffery Horinek, MD while the Richard J. Hawkins, MD, Award for Best Poster Presentation went to Justin Greiner, MD.
Congratulations to Drs. Horinek and Greiner, and their co-authors on excellent research projects.
ASES plans to continue this offering in years to come and we will be contacting the 2022-2023 fellows soon regarding submission of their abstracts for the 2023 Fellow’s Symposium taking place next year in June. Please encourage your 2022-2023 fellows to submit an abstract for this great opportunity!

Dear Fellow ASES Member,
As summer approaches, we thought we would update you on one of the important initiatives at the ASES Foundation. A few years ago, we decided to support and grow initiatives that supported our education and research goals. We are also committed to expanding member involvement and support initiatives that reached out to our community of core constituents, being our patients, communities, industry partners as well as our members.
One of those Initiatives was the establishment of ASES Foundation’s National Shoulder and Elbow Week or “Lift Up”, established in the 3rd week of September to be held every year. We now are well into planning for our Second Year, the week of September 19 – 25, 2022. Save the Date!
I just wanted to make you aware of the tremendous amount of work and the exceptional programs being organized in 10 different sites across North America. The ASES member volunteers are too numerous to mention, but they deserve our gratitude for their tireless efforts. Please have a look at what is planned. Click here to see the agenda for an event near you.
Please get involved, attend, make patients aware, or donate here if you prefer. Watch for an announcement soon for the opening of attendee registration.
We are also planning a membership-wide kickoff on Monday, September 19, 2022, so we can all “Toast” to the Health of Our Patients, members, and supportive business partners in the advancement of Shoulder and Elbow Care!
See more exciting details like maps, photos, and video of “Lift Up 2022!” at www.ases-assn.org/foundation/.
Stay tuned and have a great summer!
Sincerely,
A. Miniaci, MD, ASES Foundation Chairman
Ian Byram, MD, Chairman, ASESF Patient-Centered Initiatives Committee
JR Rudzki, MD, Co-Chairman, ASESF Patient-Centered Initiatives Committee
