More on James Andrews
Description from Wikipedia:
James Andrews is an orthopaedic surgeon from Birmingham, Alabama, widely considered one of the foremost surgeons in the United States for knee, elbow, and shoulder injuries. He has also been credited with performing some of the earliest arthroscopies. Some of the most common procedures performed by Andrews are Tommy John Surgery and the repair of knee damage, and generally he is considered a top specialist in repairing damaged ligaments.
Andrews was also an athlete himself, winning an Southeastern Conference Championship in polevaulting at Louisiana State University.
In 1986, Andrews and his partner Larry Lemak, M.D., founded the Alabama Sports Medicine and Orthopaedic Center (ASMOC) as well as the American Sports Medicine Institute (ASMI) in Birmingham. He practiced at ASMOC until 2005 when he moved to St. Vincent's Hospital from the HealthSouth Medical Center where it had been since 1986. His new practice at St. Vincent's Hospital is called Andrews Sports Medicine and Orthopaedic Center, where he is regularly supported by other acclaimed surgeons such as Lyle Cain and Jeffrey Dugas.
