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.
