Shoulder Dr BARTH Johannes
Dr. Johannes BARTH is a shoulder surgeon (+ knee arthroscopist) working in a private hospital in Grenoble. Lifelong interests in science and sports have led Dr. Barth to the use of the most advanced methods of restoring function of injured and arthritic shoulders in addition to treating sports related injuries and conditions.
He managed a project to build a private institution exclusively dedicated to muscular and skeletal diseases from 2010 to 2013 and the Centre Ostéo-Articulaire des Cèdres (a 1,500 m2 facility) opened in October 2013.
He is currently the vice-president of the Francophone Society of Arthroscopy (after serving for 2 years as scientific secretary) and a member of the SOFCOT, SECEC, ESSKA and ISAKOS.

Question :
What is the role and future of SFI in the scientific sphere of shoulder surgery?
The ISA concept is based on the solid French experience in shoulder arthroplasty, as well as on the innovation brought by a group of young opinion leaders (Shoulder Friends Institute involved in a research and training programme).
