8th Congress of the
Federation of the European Societies for
Surgery of the Hand
A Collection of Free Papers

 Amsterdam, The Netherlands, May 22-25, 2002

 

FOREWORD

 

Dear colleagues,

The eighth congress of the Federation of European Societies for Surgery of the Hand (FESSH) in Amsterdam, May 22-25, 2002, has to my mind been a great success. The combination of an instructional course of the Paediatric Upper Limb, with the issue of a congress book on this subject, together with the Master Classes and Free Papers on various subjects in Hand Surgery, has provided a broad view in our field.

The meeting was organised together with the European Society for Hand Therapy (seventh congress) which added to the understanding, knowledge and interaction between hand surgeons and hand therapists.

From every meeting originate articles of the Free Papers in various journals and also a collection of articles has been assembled in the proceedings, which lie in front of you.

Hoping you will enjoy the collection of outstanding articles, yours sincerely, with kind regards,

Steven Hovius, MD, PhD.
Chairman of the organising committee of the VIIIth FESSH meeting in Amsterdam
