Dear Members,
We are happy to announce the EHS Travelling Fellows 2020: Dr Nick Beckmann from Switzerland and Mr Syed Ahmed from UK. Congratulations to them both and thank you to our other applicants, who I hope will reapply next time. The host country will be Italy and the fellowship will take place in Spring of the New Year.
Meanwhile this month, we wish a warm welcome to new Full EHS Member Prof Dominic Meek of Glasgow, UK, as well as new Young Member Dr Karim Ouattara of Ivry sur Seine, France.
The EHS joint symposium with SIOT in Rome earlier this month was a great success, thanks to Dr Nicola Santori, EHS Nat Rep for Italy, for his report below. Next is the EHS-organized MAST Course on Current Concepts in Advanced Arthroplasty Surgery in Thessaloniki, 6-8th December, now in its 6th year. The New Year brings the ICJR Direct Anterior Approach THA Course in Innsbruck, Austria (30th January – 1st February), where EHS members can enjoy a 50% discount, see our report below from Martin Thaler, EHS Treasurer. More meetings are on our Hip Meetings Calendar.
Wish all our members a happy winter holiday and a nice peaceful time with their families and friends.
Best wishes,
EHS Secretary General, Professor Eleftherios Tsiridis
EHS Ambassador of the Month, Nicola Santori
The conjoined symposium SIOT/EHS took place in Rome the morning of Friday the 8th of November in the main hall of the Waldorf Astoria hotel during the 104th annual meeting of the Italian Society of Orthopedics and Traumatology. Main topics of the symposium were “uncommon reason for THR failure” and “strategies for difficult situations in primary THR” with 8 lectures and ample time for discussion.
For the EHS we had the honor to have Per Kjærsgaard-Andersen, Wim Schreurs and Martin Thaler. The SIOT lectures were given by Giuseppe Solarino, Guido Grappiolo, Luigi Zagra, Franco Benazzo and myself. The symposium was a real success and I personally received a special thanks from the SIOT president Francesco Falez, who asked me to express his gratitude and satisfaction to our international guests and to the EHS President Jean-Alain Epinette for promoting and supporting this initiative.
My special thanks go to Luigi Zagra who helped me greatly with the choice of the topics and the organization.
I really believe it is great opportunity for us all to take advantage of the educational cooperation offered from the European Hip Society. Sharing experiences and information is crucial for our continuous improvement in all fields of hip surgery and I’m sure this event has been extremely important also to increase the visibility of the EHS in my country. I hope we will have the opportunity to repeat this experience in the future!
