WELCOME

Early April is the ideal time to visit Adelaide and enjoy our warm mediterranean climate, beautiful city and environs, premium food and wine, and of course a great Hand Surgery conference. The Intercontinental Hotel is ideally located on the banks of the River Torrens and adjacent to the CBD, providing first class conference facilities.

It is with pleasure we welcome Guillaume Herzberg as our Guest Speaker. He is currently Head of Orthopaedic Surgery - Hand and Upper Extremity,at the University Hospital, Lyon, France, and is renowned for his expertise in wrist and carpal surgery. His presentations will include wrist fractures, Kienbock’s, total wrist arthroplasty and perilunate injuries.

We also warmly welcome our guest society, the Singapore Hand Surgery Society (SHSS) and their president David Tan. Their expected large contingent and active participation will undoubtedly enrich the quality of our meeting. Scientific sessions will cover the broad spectrum of Hand Surgery, with emphasis not only on free papers, but some themed sessions including a Presidents forum on care, hand imaging, Kienbock’s, ethical problems and surgical complications.

A variety of social activities have been selected showcase the best Adelaide has to offer with the highlight event the final dinner in the tunnels of Penfold’s Magill Estate Winery. There will also be a dedicated coffee area provided for associates to meet each morning to facilitate activities. We look forwards to welcoming you to the AHSS ASM 2019 in Adelaide!
