An Invitation
We are pleased to announce we will be hosting the 20th Annual New Technology in Upper Extremity Surgery: The Cutting Edge With Translational Research together with Hand and Wrist Biomechanics International (HWBI) Symposium in Cleveland, Ohio, June 14-17, 2020.An Invitation
As is usual at this meeting we will explore what is new and on the horizon, in some cases, challenge the status quo, and maybe even questioning what is “current dogma" in Hand & Upper Extremity Surgery and Research. We will look back over 20 years of providing a glimpse into the future of technology in our clinical and scientific sphere, evaluate what has transpired and peer into the future to evaluate directions in which we need to pursue answers to unsolved questions.
We will continue to hold our Alan Wilde Residents/Fellows/Postdoc Research Symposium for trainees to share their current cutting edge research to open our program on Day 1 (Sunday, June 14). The best two papers in each of the clinical and basic research categories will be awarded and be presented during the plenary session during the next 3 days.
We will ask some of our well-known long term faculty to review some of their predictions from the past, evaluate the fruit of those predictions, and provide insight into where our profession needs to go in the next 20 years. We will again have morning didactic lectures covering all aspects of hand, wrist, forearm, elbow, and shoulder pathological problems, surgical options, and scientific research. Afternoons will provide concurrent anatomy, surgery hands-on workshops for surgeons, splinting and hands-on workshops for therapists, and sessions for biomechanics researchers. We anticipate a unique collegial and intellectual interchange of surgical, rehabilitation, and scientific ideas.
Individual and group invitations to participate will be sent out shortly with specific requests for topics, and in a few cases for specific charges to prepare key presentations.
We look forward to your participation and contribution to this unique landmark event.
