Shoulder surgery today looks entirely different than it did 10 or even 20 years ago, and Drs. Quin Throckmorton and Tyler Brolin exemplify what it means to drive innovation forward. In this episode, they explain how shoulder replacements and other procedures have changed since the start of their careers. They also discuss the work they’ve done to reduce the need for opioids after surgery and share their perspective on the importance of global collaboration. Drs. Throckmorton and Brolin are two-time winners of the Charles Neer Award and specialize in shoulder and elbow surgery at the Campbell Clinic.
