ISAKOS Congratulates
Award & Fellowship Winners
The International Society of Arthroscopy, Knee Surgery and Orthopaedic Sports Medicine proudly presented the following awards at the 10th Biennial ISAKOS Congress held June 7–11, 2015, in Lyon, France.
John J. Joyce Award
SPONSORED BY SMITH & NEPHEW
In 1981, Dr. John J. Joyce, III offered a monetary prize for the best arthroscopy paper read by an orthopaedic surgery resident or fellow during the Scientific Program of the 4th Congress of the International Arthroscopy Association in Rio de Janeiro. With characteristic generosity, he endowed a prize to be awarded at every IAA Congress thereafter. John Joyce created the award with the intention to stimulate and reward younger members who contribute high-quality data and presentations. A committee comprised of members of the ISAKOS Arthroscopy Committee selects first and second place prize-winning papers from manuscripts presented at the ISAKOS Biennial Congress.
