ISAKOS By the Numbers
The International Society of Arthroscopy, Knee Surgery and Orthopaedic Sports Medicine continues our 20th Anniversary Celebration! ISAKOS was formed in 1995 by the merger of the International Arthroscopy Association (IAA) and the International Society of the Knee (ISK) at the IAA & ISK Combined Congress in Hong Kong. ISAKOS will return to our roots in 2017 for the 11th Biennial ISAKOS Congress in Shanghai, China.
ISAKOS was established to advance the worldwide exchange and dissemination of education, research and patient care in arthroscopy, knee surgery and orthopaedic sports medicine. This continues to be evident in our diverse membership committed to education and patient care.
ISAKOS recently had the opportunity to survey our members about their thoughts about ISAKOS. ISAKOS membership ranges from those members under 30 to those over 70, with a majority (35%) averaging between 51 and 60 years of age. ISAKOS currently has 3,029 members from 93 different countries. When polled, members stated that their primary reasons for joining ISAKOS were expanding their expertise to become a better professional; gaining global scientific knowledge, learning from global educational offerings and because ISAKOS is a premier global group within the specialties of arthroscopy, knee surgery and sports medicine.
ISAKOS’ global perspective is most evident at the ISAKOS Congress. Our 11th Biennial ISAKOS Congress will be held in the global city of Shanghai, China. More information on the ISAKOS Congress can be found on page 3 of this Newsletter, and also in the recently released ISAKOS Congress Preliminary Program + Call for Abstracts – www.isakos.com/2017. Our Congress faculty includes more than 250 surgeons from 40 different countries. A variety of educational opportunities will be available ranging from live surgical demonstrations, instructional courses, symposia, debates, lectures, and scientific papers.
If you are interested in participating in the Scientific Program, make sure to submit your abstract by September 1, 2016! Abstract submissions and award applications can be completed online at www.isakos./2017congress.
ISAKOS would like to recongnize past-President Dr. John Bergfeld
on his appointment as an Honorary Member of the Spanish Knee Society.
