Additional information

Note from the Editor-in-Chief:

I am pleased to introduce our latest Art in Science column, written by Ahmadreza Afshar MD and Neda Afshar MSN. Dr. Afshar is an orthopaedic surgeon with admittedly little artistic experience. Yet, after watching a documentary that highlighted the works of renowned British artist and sculptor Barbara Hepworth, he set out to learn more about her life, her art, and her connection with orthopaedics. In this column, Ahmadreza and Neda Afshar share their observations from a fascinating vantage point: The interface of art and medicine.
