The documentary, called “On the Shoulders of Giants: The History of NYU Langone Orthopedics” goes through NYU’s orthopedic history from its roots in the 1850s to its position in the community today, according to a May 16 news release shared with Becker’s.
“It has been a privilege to work on the legacy of the NYU Langone Orthopedics,” filmmaker Peter Sanders said in the release. “The nearly forty interviews that were conducted with specialists in the various subspecialties have created a rich tapestry of ideas and discussions of procedures in a wide range of areas of expertise. The film is both an oral history of the department and its hospitals and its institutional predecessors and a document that preserves the contributions of clinicians and scientists.”
NYU Langone Orthopedics plans to host a private viewing of the film June 12.
At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 11-13 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
