The Department of Orthopaedic Surgery had an extremely successful ESSKA Congress in Paris. We had a total of 35 presentations, including a highlight lecture, and won 3 awards.
100% of the presidential line was Pittsburgh trained, past past president Romain Seil ('96, Luxembourg), past president David Dejour ('93, Lyon France), President Jacques Menetrey ('98, Geneva, Switzerland), and first vice president Roland Becker ('01, Brandenburg Germany)
