5th Symposium of the International Cartilage Repair Society - ICRS

Ghent, Belgium, May 26-29, 2004
 

 


 

FOREWORD

Dear reader,
this book contains a number of papers which were presented in talks or on posters during the 5th Symposium of the International Cartilage Repair Society (Gent, Belgium, May 26-29, 2004). The authors did and still do significantly contribute to a young discipline’s development, and it is a central mission of the ICRS to foster the exchange of knowledge in the field of cartilage repair. I am sure this book will serve as an additional platform to serve this purpose.
On behalf of the ICRS I wish you interesting and enlightening moments – and, last but not least, pleasure – while reading this book.


Alexander Konstantinidis, MD
ICRS Executive Director
