Proceedings of the
9th Congress of the Federation of the European Societies for
Surgery of the Hand

FREE PAPERS

Lisbon, Portugal, June 25-28, 2003
 

 

 

FOREWORD

This Congress for Hand Surgery is of major scientific importance to the Federation of the European Societies.

A high quality scientific program in a prestigious setting is planned. We hope that the scientific program will be to your satisfaction.

Our program has been prepared by the Scientific Committee and will cover all aspects of surgery of the hand.

We took great care in selecting topics of interest. We have received more than 600 abstracts for papers from all over the world; an international scientific committee made an anonymous selection of the three hundred most interesting abstracts.

The papers recorded in this volume will mark the directions of particular interest to Hand surgeons.

This volume is intended to be used during the Congress for Hand Surgery as well as to stand as some record of the papers. It has a significant part to play in the Congress and its appearance before the Congress is a tribute both to the publishers and to those participants who have co-operated by submitting their papers in time for this production.

Intended to play a living part in the progress of these Congress, members can read beforehand the entire papers.

Though we learn much from the precedents of previous Congresses, every Congress must be an exercise in itself, adapting to new conditions of time and place. This occasion has called for close teamwork and devotion from a small number.

Finally this Hand Congress offers these Transactions as a record of the present position in hand surgery.
