Dr. Stetson recently traveled to Costa Rica on behalf of Orthopaedics Overseas and in association with Operation Arthroscopy, a non-profit organization that he founded with his wife. The mission of Operation Arthroscopy is to “bring orthopedics and arthroscopy to a world in need.” During his time in Costa Rica, Dr. Stetson worked with Dr. Fernando Contreras pictured here on the left and his anesthesiologist (on the right) to bring new shoulder arthroscopy equipment and skills to the people of Costa Rica.

Volunteer Saturday is a branch of Operation Arthroscopy that provides orthopedic and arthroscopic surgical care to patients who are unable to afford such procedures. On Saturday, April 12th, Dr. Stetson and his team at Glendale Endoscopy and Surgery Center volunteered their time, knowledge and equipment to perform two arthroscopic surgeries. Pictured here is Monrovia High School star football player and running back Darione Jones. Hope to see you back out on the field doing what you love, Darione! A special thank you goes out to all of the volunteers as well as the companies who kindly donated supplies, including Smith & Nephew. Volunteer Saturday was featured in The American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine’s current issue of Sports Medicine Update in an article written by our pre-medical intern Nicole Goldhaber. |
