Purpose:

• Few other areas of orthopaedic surgery and traumatology have undergone such a dramatic evolution in the last 10 years as knee surgery, arthroscopy and sports traumatology.
• As the Editors of the KSSTA Journal, our commitment to produce and diffuse the latest and the highest standards of scientific knowledge in these areas largely depends on the expertise of our reviewers.
• Therefore, it is a pleasure to invite you, the reviewers of the KSSTA Journal to the Journal Review Course during the 2009 ISAKOS meeting. The course will be presented in collaboration with the Editors of the Arthroscopy Journal.

The course will cover the following subjects:

• How to write a top-quality manuscript, including:
• Common pitfalls, study design, and statistics
• How to review a manuscript based on knowing how to write one

The session is open to:

Arthroscopy and KSSTA reviewers and manuscript authors

Contact/Registration:

• Register for the Journal Review Course when you sign up for the courses of your choice at ISAKOS (www.iskaos.com)
• The Course will include a lunch box.

ESSKA-ISAKOS Standard Terminology project:

definitions, classification and scoring sytems for arthoscopy

Download ESSKA ISAKOS Standard Terminilogy Project
As a chairman of the ESSKA Arthroscopy Committee it was André Frank that launched the idea of a standard terminology within ESSKA. As his successor on the ESSKA Arthroscopy Committee I soon experienced the magnitude of this task. Moreover I felt it would be important to involve ISAKOS. Speaking the same scientific language is a worldwide wish. I therefore made it my primary goal to get this project running. I am very pleased to present you the result of our combined efforts. I am particularly happy with the collaboration of ESSKA and ISAKOS in this project.
