MESSAGES FROM THE PROGRAM CHAIRS The 2007 annual meeting of the <strong>American</strong> <strong>Association</strong> for Hand Surgery will be held at the Westin Rio Mar Beach Golf Resort and Spa in Puerto Rico from January 10 to 13, 2007. The theme is Hand Treasures of the Caribbean and promises the attendee an adventurer’s chest of clinical pearls, educational rubies, diamonds of friendship, and exciting nuggets of gold. The program begins on Wednesday, January 10 with a speciality day program emphasizing the techniques that insure rapid recovery from hand and wrist injuries. The afternoon lets you rate your golf swing against a pro, take a bioskills course, and enjoy the amenities of the resort. Save your energy for the welcome reception that night. Thursday, January 11, begins bright and early with six instructional courses, a panel on the Evolution of the Hand, chaired by Amy Ladd, MD and featuring noted anthropologist Mary Marzke, PhD and neurologist Frank Wilson, MD author of The Hand: How its use shapes the Brain. Richard A. Berger, MD, PhD updates the state of wrist and hand prostheses. After free papers, the morning session concludes with the keynote speaker, Bob Jamison, ABC national and former White House correspondent. Following lunch, the learning opportunities continue with six more ICLs and an update on coding strategies by Daniel Nagle, MD. Friday, January 12, continues the adventure with six more ICLs, dual free paper sessions, a panel challenging the experts on distal radius fracture cases, and two keynote lectures by Robert D. Beckenbaugh, MD and Eduardo Zancolli III, MD. The afternoon is dedicated to Peter Murray, MD’s popular Comprehensive Hand Surgery Review that updates every aspect of hand surgery. Friday evening is not to be missed. It begins with a performance by Richard Kogan, MD, a psychiatrist and concert pianist who analyzes the tortured creativity of Gershwin through his letters, medical problems, and music. Step directly from there into the <strong>AAHS</strong> dinner dance and party that would make the Pirates of the Caribbean jealous. Saturday, January 13, is our collaborative program with the <strong>American</strong> Society for Reconstructive Microsurgery and the <strong>American</strong> Society for Peripheral Nerve. Panels include Upper Extremity Injury in Modern Warfare detailing the recent advances in caring for severe extremity wounds and a Brachial Plexus panel full of practical management tips and nerve transfer specifics. Richard Gelberman, MD will be the Presidents’ keynote speaker. The afternoon golf tournament underlines the fact that outside your front door there are championship golf, tennis, multiple pools, and an ocean beach. When feeling less athletic, enjoy the world class spa, five gourmet restaurants, and casino. Close by, explore the natural beauty of El Yunque rain forest, visit the forts of Old San Juan, and salsa dance to the Latin nightlife. Thank you for being a part of this exciting, educational, and enjoyable experience. A. Lee Osterman, MD Jorge L. Orbay, MD <strong>AAHS</strong> 2007 Program Chair <strong>AAHS</strong> 2007 Program Co-Chair Thank you for attending the 16th annual <strong>American</strong> Society for Peripheral Nerve scientific meeting at the luxurious Westin Rio Mar Beach Resort in Rio Grande, Puerto Rico. On Saturday morning, joint sessions with the <strong>AAHS</strong> and <strong>ASRM</strong> will convene. A panel on Upper Extremity Injuries in Modern Warfare will begin the conference. Dr. Richard Gelberman will deliver the Presidents Invited Lecture on: Identifying Targets for Clinical and Research Excellence in 2007. Outstanding nerve papers from the 3 societies will be presented. A panel of international experts will review new trends and perspectives in Brachial Plexus Surgery 2007. Saturday afternoon will include 3 invited speakers: Xavier Navarro Acebes on Tube Repair: Advances Towards an Artificial Nerve Graft; Jianguang Xu on C7 Nerve Transfer: Past, Present, Future; and Rolfe Birch on Iatropathic Injuries of Peripheral Nerves. There will be one session with clinical and research papers. On Sunday, a host of instructional courses will start off the day: on brachial plexus birth palsy, cortical reorganization, reinnervating muscle, peripheral nerve tumors, and intraoperative monitoring. An <strong>ASRM</strong>/<strong>ASPN</strong> panel on Free Functioning Muscle Transfer is planned. Invited Speaker Tessa Gordon will discuss Emerging Strategies to Improve Outcome of Nerve Injury. Free papers will be admixed in the morning and afternoon sessions. In addition to the outstanding scientific program, a lively social agenda and beautiful weather is being forecasted. The <strong>ASPN</strong> Welcome Reception on Saturday evening will foster informal interactions with family and friends. Additional recreational opportunities can be anticipated at various venues – including the golf course, pool, beach, spa, or restaurants, not to mention the other attractions on the island. All in all, this meeting promises to be a memorable experience. Robert J. Spinner, M.D. <strong>ASPN</strong> 2007 Program Chair The 23rd annual meeting of the <strong>ASRM</strong> this January 2007 promises to be one of our best yet. Our meeting venue returns us to beautiful Puerto Rico, this time to the incomparable Westin Rio Mar Beach Golf Resort and Spa. The meeting has a longstanding tradition of presenting cutting edge topics in microsurgery, panel discussions, and instructional courses applicable to the clinician as well as the researcher and this will continue. Structural changes to the instructional part of the meeting as well as marquis entertainment for the social portion of the meeting will mark the 2007 meeting as one not to be missed. This meeting will reflect suggestions the membership has made over the years to improve the <strong>ASRM</strong> meeting experience. One often noted complaint was not enough family and free time during the day to enjoy the venue and camaraderie outside the meeting. This complaint has been addressed by significantly restructuring the meeting. This year’s meeting will have significant free time each afternoon and plenty of activities to fill them with. Over 20 hours of free afternoon time have been programmed in. No reason to “skip” presentations or panels now. By one o’clock each afternoon, instructional activities will be curtailed and the free time begins! While we have chosen to make this prime time available for your enjoyment, our goal has been to maintain the high level of educational content and to avoid the reduction of CME available for the meeting. We have done this in a number of creative ways. While the number of presentations will remain constant, the time for presentation has been curtailed to 3 minutes. This has been partially offset by a necessary and requested increase in discussion time for each paper. Evening panels have been added. Self-study computer modules will also be available throughout the meeting for additional and valuable patient safety CME. Our speakers will continue to be top notch. Our president’s invited speaker will be Past President Ronald Zuker, MD. The Buncke lecturer will be one of the founders of our society, James Urbaniak, MD, who still practices microsurgery. Elisabeth Beahm, MD will preside over the 2007 Master’s Series which will present interactive video presentations from leaders in their fields. Panel discussions will feature facial transplantation, optimization of results in head and neck reconstruction, and new ideas in limb salvage. Other members have asked for more presentation and discussion of complications and their management. Others still would like a forum to present interesting and unique individual cases which would be of interest to us as microsurgeons. These single cases do not often warrant formal presentation on the podium. Both of these interests will be served in evening sessions. First, we will be presenting an award for the “Best Microsurgical Save” of the year. Submitted cases will be judged by an expert panel that will score cases based on degree of complication, originality of the microsurgical salvage, and the overall value of the case. The ultimate winner will be decided by the membership present. No formal attire is required and yes, the bar will be open. This should allow exposure to and discussion of complications in a fun and relaxing format. The second award will be for the “Best Microsurgical Case” of the year. We all do great cases throughout the year. Here’s your chance to share one with your colleagues and have bragging rights for a year by winning. Again panelists will critique the cases and the membership present will pick the winner. Solicitations for these awards will be sent throughout the year and can be submitted to me via the <strong>ASRM</strong> website. Perhaps most exciting is our announcement of Branford Marsalis as our featured entertainer. Monday night will feature a night of jazz with Branford Marsalis and his band. Branford has been very active with Harry Connick Jr. providing much needed relief for musicians affected by Hurricane Katrina through Habitat for Humanity. Our <strong>ASRM</strong> concert will benefit these efforts. This will be a night remembered for all time. Our Puerto Rican venue offers plenty of activities for our indulgence. Beautiful beaches, lush rain forests, daytrips to San Juan, golf, and poolside lounging are only a few of the attractions that await us.
