Egyptian Arthroscopy Association (EGAA)

A group of Egyptian arthroscopic surgeons gathered under the umbrella of the Egyptian Orthopaedic Association (EOA ) to form a sub-specialty group interested in the field of arthroscopy and sports injuries. This group was called the Egyptian Group for Arthroscopy and Sports Injuries (EGASI). In December 2009, a larger group of arthroscopic surgeons who represented all universities, teaching and military hospitals attended a meeting at Ain Shams University Guest house, conference hall. They have all agreed to establish an Egyptian Arthroscopy Association. The founding members for this association were 14 surgeons who continued their meetings. The main four founders were Prof Ahmed Abdel Aziz, Prof Adel Hamed, Prof Ezzat Kamel, Prof Maher El Assal. In 13 March 2012 Intercontinental, Cairo, Egypt, the first EGAA conference came to life.
