Teamwork Pays! Ten Tips for a Great Surgeon-Scientist Collaboration

This review represents our summary of what makes a great collaboration between a surgeon and a scientist. At first, with no perspective, such a collaboration seems easy and natural. But as time goes on, with more perspective, you realize how special it is. Now, in our 60s, with approximately 35 years of collaboration and 75 coauthored papers (most of them in The Journal of Hand Surgery), we are thankful and humbled for this tremendously fruitful and, importantly, enjoyable collaboration. We are not so foolish to think that we made this great collaboration-it was a gift. However, we now recognize many characteristics that make it great and have developed the following 10 tips.

Fascial Nomenclature: Update 2021, Part 1

The fascial continuum is a topic for which all clinicians and other healthcare professionals come into contact on a daily basis, both consciously and without having the idea that the tissues they deal with can fall within the concept of fascia. The Foundation of Osteopathic Research and Clinical Endorsement (FORCE) organization includes many clinicians and health professionals, as well as researchers in different scientific disciplines. The goal is to dissect some concepts related to daily practice, such as fascial tissue, from a scientific point of view and impartially. Proof of the impartiality of FORCE is the fact that it does not sell any fascial products, no tools, and, above all, all the fascial terminology used has no copyright: research and knowledge are the right of anyone who wishes improvement for the good of the patient. The article aims to review the themes that could add new elements for a broader view of the meaning and nomenclature of the fascial system.
