A/Prof Sumit Raniga and the Macquarie University Translational Orthopaedic Research Lab (www.mqtorlab.com.au) were honoured to host Professor Ralph Hertel.

Widely recognised as one of the leading thinkers in the field of shoulder surgery, Professor Hertel shared his remarkable depth of knowledge, experience, and perceptive insights with the team.

During the visit, A/Prof Raniga and colleagues presented the centrepiece of their Arthrokinematics Program: the eight-muscle actuated, six-degree-of-freedom ex vivo cadaveric shoulder simulator, known as the Translational Shoulder.

The visit was an inspiring and motivating opportunity for the team, who greatly valued Professor Hertel’s time and effort in joining them.
