Cleveland/Akron/Canton 05-737 PUBLISHER from the Late fall and early winter present an increased risk for orthopedic injuries. Not only does Northeast Ohio get its fair share of slippery ice and heavy snow, but the pursuit of seasonal sports — whether in an organized league or in a backyard — also presents heightened opportunity for injury. Paul R. Fleissner, Jr., MD, is a pediatric orthopedist at Crystal Clinic Orthopaedic Center who treats the trauma brought on by nasty weather and athletic activity. In this issue we learn about his innovative approach to improving outcomes by being the first in the nation to commercially use the Reveille® Cartilage Processor to perform single- stage repair for cartilage defects. Also treating the season's musculoskeletal challenges is Steven B. Jackson, DO, fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeon with Western Reserve Hospital Physicians Inc. He too champions orthopaedic innovation, including the use of anti-inflammatory medications, injections, visco- supplementation, stem cell treatments, weight reduction, and physical therapy as alternatives to surgical treatment. Our end-of-the-year publication is rounded out with extremely timely articles on maximizing cybersecurity, the Ohio "Apology Statute," partnerships with private equity firms and the importance of buy-sell agreements. From all the folks at MD News Cleveland/Akron/Canton, please enjoy a wonderful holiday! Ted DiFiore ...............................................
