On behalf of the East African Arthroscopy Association (E.A.A.A), I wish to humbly and warmly welcome you to the first International Society of Arthroscopy ,Knee Surgery and Orthopedic sports medicine(ISAKOS) approved meeting in this region.

EAAA was founded in 2010 with the main aim and objective being advancing the science and practice of Arthroscopy in our region.It has held several training workshops some in conjuction with the Kenya Orthopedic Association. (See history elsewhere)

It is therefore quite humbling and gratifying of ISAKOS to start supporting that initiative. ISAKOS is the largest Sports medicine physician society in the world. It has over 3,000 members which includes almost all or all of the leading sports physicians (See Web site).

It is now our primary aim to partner with ISAKOS to further advance arthroscopy and sports medicine in this region to unparalleled levels. It is therefore our pleasure to invite you to join us in these very exciting times.

The workshop at the Mater hospital as many of you are aware will not be the first.The hospital has pioneered arthroscopic surgery training for many years. This one aims to introduce and share the basic principles of knee arthroscopy and management of knee sports injuries. The participants will be exposed to the current state of management through lectures, Practical hands on demonstrations and live surgery. Recent advances in knee sports medicine will be discussed and surgical techniques illustrated through live surgeries.

It will be facilitated by both local and International faculty and the participants experience.

The intent is to open up avenues for international collaborations for members to finally get better and optimum outcomes for the patients with sports injuries. It is imperative that we aim for international standards in patient care and management as this is one of the core values of EAAA

Finally, you will get the opportunity to Join ISAKOS at a discount.

WELL COME, KARIBUNI SANA
