    members belonging to wide range of fields including bioengineering and
    biochemistry, as well as anatomy, epidemiology, physiotherapy, orthopaedic
    surgery, rheumatology and neurology.

    particular current relevance. The accepted abstracts are published in the
    proceedings of JBJS. Prizes (including cash) are available to the best two
