Surgical management of joint problems has progressed drama tically
in the past few years. Clearer understanding of the patho genesis
of joint disorders and recent additions to our knowledge of joint
mechanics have mage formerly unimagined procedures possible.
Moreover, tremendous advancement in implant tech nology offers us a
wider variety of surgical procedures and a better chance of
obtaining satisfactory results. At the same time, alternative
bone-preserving procedures, such as osteotomy, in the
weight-bearing joints are still of great significance in selected
cases. In this context, it is clear that international
collaboration and coordination of scientific endeavours is crucial.
Over the last decade, thanks to the great assistance given by
contributors to this book, we have tried to coordinate our
endeavors on the interna tional level without being restricted to
our own societies. There fore, it was fitting that the symposium
was held in an effort to bring together experts in the field of
joint surgery to share their specialized knowledge. We hoped that
the free interchange of ideas would bring about an updated
understanding and provide knowledge essential to the treatment of
joint disease. KAzuSHI HIROHATA Table of Contents Introduction . .

A half century ago, orthopedic surgeons needed to specialize in
only the pathophysiology and treatment of the neuromuscular and
skeletal systems in order to treat patients. However, since then,
surprising progress has been made in medicine, and through the
limitless avenues for research orthopedics is now divided into many
subspecialities, with terms such as orthopedic pathology,
orthopedic oncology, orthopedic rheumatology, and orthopedic
traumatology becoming commonplace. Interdisciplinary studies in
this and other related fields are now indispensible. As a result,
the half-life of the information accumulating yearly has been
estimated at five years. In times such as these, if one stubbornly
adheres to treatment alone, progress comparable to that in other
fields will not be made. If one opens an orthopedic textbook, it is
easy to see that there are still many diseases of undetermined
etiology; in the last quarter of a century, there has been no
evidence of even one of these diseases' etiology having been
resolved internationally. This is a direct result of the ineptitude
of basic orthopedic research. Therefore, recently in the United
States, Japan and Canada, orthopedic research institutes and
associations have been established, and SIROT has been organized
internationally. This book contains the manuscripts presented by
international and Japanese speakers at the 5th Annual Meeting of
the Orthopedic Research Society of the Japanese Orthopedic
Association, and the Second Inter national Cherry Blossom
Conference of Rheumatology.
