Shoulder societies had not yet formed except in Japan, and there were few forums to discuss newer ideas or procedures. Luckily, I was able to visit Japan professionally in 1979 and experience the Japan Shoulder Society investigational approach to the science of shoulder surgery. I made a second trip in 1998 and most recently returned for the magnificent International Congress of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery meeting in Nagoya.
