THE TURKISH SOCIETY OF SPORTS TRAUMATOLOGY,

ARTHROSCOPY AND KNEE SURGERY (TUSYAD)

www.tusyad.org

TUSYAD was founded in 1987 in Izmir by Professor Dr Veli Lök when

sports injuries were the main focus of the society. Sports Traumatology

was added to the focus and title of the society in 1993. The

history of arthroscopy in Turkey dates back to the seventies, long

before TUSYAD was formed. The first Turkish symposium on knee

surgery was held in 1976, and the first Turkish delegation attendance

at an international arthroscopy course was in April 1977 (held

in Nice, France).The first Turkish arthroscopy course was delivered

in Ege University’s School of Medicine, Izmir in October 1977, organised

by Professor Lök with Professor Ejnar Eriksson as instructor.

Articles on arthroscopy began to appear in 1979. TUSYAD

members have contributed to KSSTA and ESSKA’s congresses.

The society now has over 300 members, spread over six branches.

These branches are named after the cities of Istanbul, Ankara,Izmir, Antalya, Aydın and Adana.

TUSYAD’s first Congress was in 1991 and is staged every two

years rotating between Istanbul, Antalya, Ankara and Izmir with

the local branches being responsible for organisation. Many

leading experts and colleagues from all over the world attend. A

pleasurable tradition of the congress is the selection of an Honorary

President. This honour is bestowed at each congress to a

prominent figure who has made an outstanding contribution to

the education of our colleagues.
