Mike collaborated with Dr. Walter R. Smith and Dr. T. Bradley Edwards of the Fondren Orthopedic Group to illustrate “Posterior Shoulder Instability and Glenoid Bone Loss: A Review and a Free Bone Graft Technique” (Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2024). The pen & ink illustrations, created in Adobe Illustrator, were designed to enhance clarity and emphasize key surgical details.
