This EHS story becomes a long story from my side… I participated in this Society from the very first day and namely gave a lecture at the first congress in Heraklion in 1994. Since that time, I have been committed for many lectures and symposia along with numerous EHS members who are for most of them very good friends of mine worldwide…

My involvement in Hip matters has been strong for years, as my surgical practice has been exclusively devoted to hip and knee replacements for more than 25 years!… Moreover, I have been from the first day a member of the SFHG (Hip and Knee French Society, as a partner of the SOFCOT society), and have been its vice president (2011-2013), then president (203-2015). I am currently within this Society the past president, member of the Board, and at the same time the webmaster of the www.sfhg.fr web site. I am also in charge of several observational registries within the SFHG scientific committee (resurfacing, Dual mobility cups, short stems). I am fully involved in the area of hydroxyapatite coatings in arthroplasty, unicompartmental knee replacement, highly-crossed linked polyethylene matters, and hip mobile bearings outcomes. I have participated in numerous books and publications, including several books as editor.

My second major activity regards Computerized and Outcomes Studies in Orthopaedics. I am the founder and CEO of the ARIA Ltd Company, devoted to developments of software suites, monitored clinical studies and consulting matters in Orthopaedics. Within the frame of ARIA, I have founded in 1991 the Orthopaedic Research and Imaging Centre in Arthroplasty (CRDA), located in Bruay-France, and on the other hand since 1996 the OrthoWave software suite, devoted to Outcomes Studies and Evaluation in Arthroplasties which currently features a web-base online
program as a “cloud computing” worldwide system.

I am based in France, and speak English fluently.
