2017 ISAKOS CONGRESS
On behalf of the entire ISAKOS Program Committee and Board of Directors, I would like to cordially invite you to attend the 11th Biennial ISAKOS Congress. The 11th Biennial ISAKOS Congress will be held in Shanghai, China on June 4–8, 2017.
The 11th Biennial ISAKOS Congress will focus on discussions of new initiatives in medicine and technology as they relate to arthroscopy, knee surgery and orthopaedic sports medicine. Participants will be able to evaluate clinical cases and advance the practice of evidence-based, informed orthopaedic care. Our more than 300 international faculty will demonstrate the application of current techniques, procedures and research, as well as identify and analyze current research data pertaining to the management of ankle, foot, knee, hip, wrist, elbow and shoulder problems, and to sports medicine. ISAKOS will also present live cadaveric surgical demonstrations from international leading faculty.
Known for our broad perspective, the ISAKOS Congress is a unique opportunity to learn from a diverse faculty. Past Congresses have included faculty from nearly every continent, and the 2017 Congress will strive to strike a balance between Eastern and Western perspectives.
Unique opportunities will be available at the Congress in Shanghai, including six different pre-courses! These pre-courses will be held on Saturday, June 3rd and will range in topic from the use of Biologics in Sports Medicine, to Knee Arthroplasty. Registrants will have the ability to pay one registration fee and attend any of the six pre-course sessions offered. More information on the pre- courses can be found in this Newsletter on Page 7.
The ISAKOS Congress currently seeks abstract submissions. Abstract submissions are accepted for Scientific Paper or e-Poster presentation, and must be submitted online through the ISAKOS website by September 1, 2016. Also available are a variety of ISAKOS Awards and Traveling Fellowships – for more information, please visit www.isakos.com/awards.
The city of Shanghai is known as a showpiece of modern China. A popular tourist destination, Shanghai features such historical landmarks as The Bund, City God Temple and Yu Garden. Other cultural highlights include the Shanghai Museum and the China Art Museum. Shanghai is well recognized for its extensive Lujiazui skyline featuring many skyscrapers.
