In Episode 2 of The Global Elbow Podcast, host Dr. Ana Catarina Ângelo sits down with Dr. Roger van Riet for an honest and thoughtful conversation beyond the podium.

Known internationally for his work in elbow biomechanics and instability, Roger reflects on the experiences that shaped his career, the evolution of modern elbow surgery, and the importance of mentorship, curiosity, and lifelong learning in medicine.

This episode moves beyond surgical techniques and publications to explore the human side of building a career in orthopaedics — including leadership, perspective, and what it means to contribute to a global surgical community like GEN.

Filmed on-site at the GEN Conference in Miami, this conversation offers a rare behind-the-scenes look at one of elbow surgery’s most respected voices in a relaxed and personal setting.

The Global Elbow Podcast is a long-form conversation series featuring leaders in elbow surgery from around the world, sharing the stories, philosophies, and experiences that shaped their careers and the field itself.

In this inaugural episode of The Global Elbow Podcast, our host Dr. Ana Catarina Angelo sits down with Dr. Shawn O’Driscoll for a rare, behind-the-scenes conversation that goes far beyond technique.

Shawn reflects on the influences that shaped his life and career — family, mentorship, curiosity — and how those experiences ultimately led to the formation of the Global Elbow Network (GEN). He speaks candidly about what GEN was meant to be from the beginning: a community built on generosity, shared learning, and lifting the next generation.

This is not a lecture. It’s a conversation about identity, legacy, and what it really means to build something that lasts.

A quiet, thoughtful look at the human side of one of elbow surgery’s most influential figures — and the values that continue to shape the global elbow community.
