I have been the national representative of Sweden in EHS for the last three years. Before that I was a Junior Fellow and then a Fellow of the society. This relatively long-time contact has given me the privilege to be well updated about the scientific advances in the management of hip joint disorders. As a national representative, I have tried to act as a link between the EHS and my Swedish orthopaedic colleagues.
