Neff, M.D., Musculoskeletal Oncology Chair.  <\/p>\n<p>Dr. McGarry joined the UNMC faculty in 2005. He grew up in central Iowa, attending Creighton University for college and medical school and then the University of Colorado for his orthopaedic residency. <\/p>\n<p>He earned both clinical and research fellowships in orthopaedic oncology from the University of Florida. During 2005, while completing his research fellowship and serving as an instructor at the University of Florida, Dr. McGarry was called into service at UNMC  following the death of Dr. Neff. He traveled to Omaha each month for eight months so that people in the region would have a specialist at UNMC that could treat their musculoskeletal oncology problems. <\/p>\n<p>The James R. Neff, M.D., Chair of Musculoskeletal Oncology Fund was established through the University of Nebraska Foundation. This permanent endowment was funded for the purpose of advancing research, education and clinical work in the area of musculoskeletal oncology at UNMC. It is stipulated that the recipient of this chair be a full time faculty member in the orthopaedic department, have a focus on the field of musculoskeletal oncology and be widely recognized as an expert clinician and\/or researcher.<\/p>\n<p>Since 2005, Dr. McGarry has become an expert in the field of musculoskeletal oncology. He has written 20 journal articles and five book chapters dealing with orthopaedic oncology, produced 10 online education materials and presented more than 20 talks on regional, national and international platforms.  He co-chairs the Sarcoma and Melanoma Tumor Board with Nicole Shonka, M.D. This board meets twice a month to discuss and plan treatment for difficult cases as a team, including oncologists, pathologists, radiologists and clinicians from Nebraska Medicine. Finally, Dr. McGarry is a superb clinician, widely known for his focus on limb salvage.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. McGarry is the inaugural holder of the James R.
