APAS President Welcome
David Choon
President
Since its inception in 1997, APAS has been a society built on identifying and addressing the needs of arthroplasty in Asia. From its early days of “roughing it” to becoming a significant organization with far-reaching influence, APAS has remained true to the vision of our founders: WK Chung, Ray Randall, and Jim Sutherland.
Our guiding principles have always been:
• To introduce the foundations of arthroplasty to surgeons across the region.
• To train surgeons in mastering arthroplasty techniques.
• To establish systems and centers that advance the field.
• To foster enduring friendships among arthroplasty surgeons in Asia and around the world.
Today, APAS continues to grow in both friendship and influence, uniting generations of surgeons in a shared pursuit of excellence. Our excellent new website has been designed to foster easier communications between members and learners and we hope that greater online interaction will stimulate fellowship and learning. Here is the link to the APAS website.
While technology enhances our communication, nothing replaces the value of live interaction. Life is better when shared, and APAS is enriched by the camaraderie of its members. The value of the website is that we can share our thoughts and knowledge and memories easily.
So, join us for an unforgettable meeting where innovation, learning, and friendship come together.
Please do register and make yourself known! Its certainly a far cry from our humble origins.
