New Hip Arthroscopy Section
At the Annual General Meeting of the Arthroplasty Society a new Hip Arthroscopy Section was formed.
The aim of the group is to provide a forum for surgeons with an interest in hip arthroscopy, to meet, exchange ideas and collaborate in research projects. It is planned to hold a meeting each year in association with the Arthroplasty Society Annual Meeting. Further informal meetings will be arranged depending on demand.
An email group has been formed to discuss difficult cases and any other matters.
John O’Donnell is the Convenor of the group, and Jonathon Bare the Secretary. The foundation members are Warwick Bruce, Neil Bergman, Al Burns, Richard De Steiger, Bill Donnelly, Hugh English, Michael O’Sullivan, Richard Verheul, Peter Walker, Bill Walter, Patrick Weinrauch, Bruce White and David Young.
All members of the Arthroplasty Society with an interest in hip arthroscopy are welcome to join by contacting JohnO’Donnell.
