Hailing from the great state of Mississippi, my education includes a B.S. degree from Mississippi State University and a M.D. degree from the University of Mississippi. My hospital training comprised an internship at Parkland Hospital, residency at UTHSCSA, one fellowship at the Princess Margaret Rose Orthopaedic Hospital in Edinburg, Scotland and a second fellowship at the University of Virginia School of Medicine. Currently, I am an active member of the following committees: American Society Surgery to the Hand; American Orthopaedic Association; American Academy Orthopaedic Surgeons; and I am President of theTexas Orthopaedic Association. My primary research interests are in traumatic injuries of the distal radius, the carpus, and the metacarpals. This includes fractures, degenerative diseases and vascular entities such as avascular necrosis of the lunate and carpal bones. Another facet of upper extremity problems in which I am interested are fractures of the distal humerus and fractures in and about the elbow. My main concern is union of these fractures, including distal humerus fractures, proximal radius and ulna fractures and fractures of the diaphyseal portions of the radius and ulna.
