Winter 2000 Newsletter Upper Limb Committee Begins New Challenges Stephen S. Burkhart, M.D. Upper Limb Committee Chairman The Upper Limb Committee is a new committee that was formed this past year. As such, we look forward to initiating worthwhile projects that will provide the groundwork for our successors. The committee's mission is to provide educational information, instruction and advice on arthroscopic and arthroscopic-related surgery of the upper extremity. We will propose a symposium presentation on arthroscopic treatment of shoulder instability at the 2001 ISAKOS Congress in Montreux. The committee also hopes to establish the ISAKOS Web site as a source of information on upper extremity arthroscopy by providing surgical photos, techniques and abstracts that will be available for download by members. We also intend to develop standardized data sheets that will be useful to the membership in evaluating the upper extremity. As a new committee, we have a unique challenge to establish our role within ISAKOS; we welcome that challenge.
