The New England Shoulder and Elbow Society is a fledgling organization devoted to the study and practice of upper extremity injuries and ailments. Based at the University of Connecticut in Farmington, CT, the Society is the brainchild of Dr. Jon J.P. Warner (Boston, MA). While at a shoulder meeting in France, Dr. Warner, pitched the idea to a couple of young, eager shoulder and elbow surgeons who ran with it and worked to bring his idea to life. We felt that an annual meeting and a website were essential to give our organization an identity and a presence. Both would also allow professionals devoted to the care of the shoulder and elbow to gather and share information and ideas. Within 13 months, we had both.

Our officers are made up of Dr. Robert Arciero (Farmington, CT), head of the Society, Dr. Jon J.P. Warner, head of the Shoulder section, and Dr. Andrew Caputo (Hartford, CT), head of the Elbow section. Dr. Carl Nissen (Farmington, CT) is our Treasurer. Dr. Gus Mazzocca (Farmington, CT) and Dr. Frank Alberta are responsible for the organization of the Society and the website.

Please feel free to look around the website. It is still in the development stage and we are continuously adding new features and information. We welcome your suggestions for improvement and new ideas.
