Welcome to ESSKA

ESSKA, founded in 1984 in Berlin, has ever since been dedicated to education, research and the clinical and scientific exchange between the various European countries in the fields of knee surgery, arthroscopy and sports traumatology. 24 years later, the society is established as a European leader in orthopaedic sports medicine.
As the President of the new ESSKA Board, it will be my privilege to lead our organization for the coming two years. We will stay on course with our dedication to education, research and the exchange of clinical and scientific information.
An area which the Board will prioritize is the issue of subspeciality in Sports Tramatology and Sports medicine within the EU. Here we will work on creating a curriculum, achieving accreditation and achieving certification. This represents long term goals for the Board and we will work with many of the committees and their expertise.
Another designated area will be journal cooperation with major European Orthopaedic Sport Medicine Societies such as AGA, GOTS, SIGASCOT and SFA. The Board will work hard to strengthen our journal and increase the distribution through joint ventures.
I also take this opportunity to welcome our new editor team Rene Verdonk and Jon Karlsson. Both are distinguished scientists with a high number of publications and long term service in various journal editorial boards. They will have full support from the ESSKA Board which sees the KSSTA journal as our flag ship!
Our new website will ad substantial value for our members: there will be a members-only section, online education, educational tools, flash conferences, podcasts and much more
