CALL FOR ABSTRACTS

Hospital for Special Surgery wishes to announce a “Call for Abstracts” for presentation at its upcoming continuing medical education activity, the “2022 (34th Annual) Holiday Knee & Hip Course,” which will be held onsite in NYC and virtually, December 2-3, 2022. 

Total knee and hip replacements are two of the most successful orthopaedic operations of this century. Ongoing modifications to techniques and materials further enhance their excellent outcomes. Since its inception 33 years ago, the Holiday Knee & Hip Course continues to attract an international audience and brings together distinguished faculty representing the leading thinkers in the field today. It provides attendees a comprehensive overview of current issues and developments in adult reconstruction.
 
Abstracts selected for the symposium will be further judged and eligible to win the 2022 Richard S. Laskin, MD, Research Award and a $500 prize. The winner will be presented with the award on Friday, December 2, 2022. The winner will also present his/her research during a brief 5-minute presentation on Friday, December 2.

We invite poster abstract submissions describing current original basic science or applied clinical research related to the following topical areas:
