Dedication

The second edition of Orthopaedics for Physician Assistants is dedicated to all my hard-working colleagues who strive to provide exceptional healthcare to their patients and to the following people who made this book possible:
Jennifer Hart for her perpetual loyalty to me and this book.
Alex Wix, who suddenly and serendipitously came into my family’s life during the coronavirus school shut-down of 2020 and provided me time to focus amidst the chaos.
The contributing authors who devoted time they did not have and energy they could not waste to this project.
Dr. Bobby Chhabra for encouraging me to conceptualize and co-edit the first edition of Orthopaedics for Physician Assistants years ago, and who is still uplifting my career as a mentor.
I am deeply indebted to all my colleagues who I have worked with over the years in Virginia and Colorado. You have ALL made me a better PA.

And thank you to: my parents, who got me started off on this journey; my daughter, Asha, for understanding at such a young age that this project was important to me; and to my husband, Corey, for continuing to walk by my side—I love you all.—SR
This book is for my PA colleagues who work hard to deliver exceptional care to their patients every single day. This new update is thanks to the continued efforts of all of us who strive for success in this endeavor. I am thankful for the support of great supervising physicians, enthusiastic students, and supportive PA colleagues throughout the years. And I am forever thankful to my husband Joe and our family for supporting the years of training, work hours, and writing that is behind all of it.
—JAH
