Welcome to the Hong Kong International Wrist Arthroscopy Symposium and Workshop!

Dear Esteemed Colleagues, Distinguished Speakers, and Honored Guests,

It is with great pleasure and anticipation that we welcome you to the Hong Kong International Wrist Arthroscopy Symposium and Workshop, held from December 13 to 15, 2025. This event, set against the vibrant backdrop of Hong Kong, is a unique gathering of leading experts, enthusiastic practitioners, and brilliant minds all under one roof, united by our shared passion for advancement in wrist arthroscopy.

The theme for this year, "One Step Forward," encapsulates our collective endeavor to push the boundaries of what is possible in wrist arthroscopy. We are here not merely to exchange knowledge but to forge new paths that will enhance patient care and outcomes, setting new standards for the future of orthopedic surgery. This theme reflects our commitment to advancing the field through innovative techniques, collaborative efforts, and cutting-edge research.

Our symposium on December 13 specifically addresses ulnar wrist pathologies—a critical area marked by common yet complex conditions such as TFCC tears, ulnar impaction syndrome, and distal radioulnar joint osteoarthritis. Throughout the day, you will have the opportunity to delve into the latest research findings, engage in discussions, and explore novel treatment strategies led by some of the world's most distinguished experts in wrist arthroscopy. Their insights will undoubtedly provide valuable perspectives and foster deeper understanding of these challenging conditions.

Following the symposium, our workshop sessions from December 14 to 15 offer a comprehensive educational experience with both an intermediate course and a two-day advanced course. Whether you are looking to consolidate your foundational knowledge or expand your expertise with advanced techniques, our courses are tailored to meet diverse learning needs. Each course is meticulously designed to ensure that you not only gain theoretical knowledge but also enrich your practical skills through hands-on training.

We are privileged to host an array of internationally renowned speakers who will share their invaluable insights and expertise throughout the symposium and workshop. Their presence affirms the significance of this event as a pivotal platform for learning and collaboration within the global medical community. We encourage you to engage actively with our speakers and participants—these interactions are invaluable opportunities to gain new perspectives and foster professional connections.

As you participate in this symposium, we hope that you will also take the time to enjoy the dynamic and culturally rich environment of Hong Kong. The city's blend of tradition and modernity provides a perfect setting for our theme, "One Step Forward," as we look to the future while respecting the legacy of our past achievements.

In conclusion, we would like to express our deepest gratitude to all who have contributed to making this symposium a reality—the organizing committee, our distinguished speakers, sponsors, and each of you, our valuable participants. Your commitment and passion are the driving forces that propel our field forward. We are confident that the interactions and knowledge shared over these days will leave a lasting impact and inspire further advancements in wrist arthroscopy.
