THE PORTUGUESE LEADERS IN ESSKA (2018-2020)
During the ESSKA Congress in Glasgow, in May, new leaders, coordinators
and members of the several sections of ESSKA for the period of 2028-2020
were nominated. One of the most important sections of ESSKA is the Euro-
pean Sports Medicine Association (ESMA), whose objectives are “the inter-
disciplinary cooperation to solve the most important health problems of
the athletes, especially the sports injuries”, but also the creation of the-
matic and specific working groups involving several sports. The organiza-
tion of events and the publication of scientific papers are also objectives of
this ESSKA section. We have the honor and the privilege that the chairman
of this section is our colleague and President of SPAT, Dr. Henrique Jones.
It is of all interest that the community of Sports Medicine joins ESMA in
order to participate on the ongoing initiatives, but also to help the consoli-
dation of ESMA’s role in the European sports medicine.
ESSKA – ESMA CHAIRMAN: Dr. Henrique Jones
The new President of ESSKA is Dr. David Dejour, from
Lyon, France, that replaces Dr. Roman Seil, from Lux-
emburg, which naturally takes the seat of past-Presi-
dent. The 1 st vice-President is the Suisse Dr. Jacques
Menetrey, and the 2 nd vice-President is Dr. Roland
Becker, from Germany. Dr. Hélder Pereira got up the
hierarchy of ESSKA to become an effective member of
the board, being now the Treasurer, a task with respon-
sibility that will ask for a big effort from him. He left
the position of chairman of Ankle and Foot Associates
(AFA) and became the past-chairman of this section. He finished his role as
past-chairman of the Science and Basic Committee (SBC). However, the
SBC still have a Portuguese representation, that is Prof. Miguel Oliveira. In
this committee the President is Dr. Laura Girolamo (Italy) and Dr. Caroline
Mouton (Luxemburg) is the vice-President.
ESSKA TREASURER: Dr. Hélder Pereira
Dr. Nuno Gomes continues to extol Portugal with is
growing role at the Shoulder section (ESA) with the
responsibility with the Education in this section. The
chairman is Giuseppe Milano (Italy) and the vice-chair-
man is Ladislav Kovacic (Slovenia).
Dr. José Filipe Salreta, past-President of SPAT, hon-
ors Portugal by his quality of member the Osteotomy
Committee, whose President is Dr. Ronald van Heer-
waarden (Holland) and the vice-President is Dr. Matt
Dawson (United Kingdon). Dr. Manuel Vieira da Silva
is a member of the Patela Instability Committee, and Drs. Petri Sillanpaa
(Finland) and Florian Dirisamer (Austria) are, respectively, President and
vice-President. The Portuguese representative in the Committee for the
Elbow and Wrist is Dr. Enrico Guerra, and Dr. Paolo Arrigoni (Italy) is the
President of the committee and Dr. Denise Eygendaal (Holland) is the vice-
President. Dr. André Sarmento will keep hios place in the Committee of Hip
Arthroscopy, and Dr. Fillipo Randelin (Italy) is the President and Dr. Vikas
Khanduja (United Kingdon) is the vice-President.
ESSKA has three administrative committees (Education, Associates and
Nomeation) and eight scientific committees. Besides those already indi-
cated, there is the Arthroscopy, Cartilage and under-45. ESSKA explains the
reason for the existence of these committees, because they “stimulate sci-
entific activity, … help in the spread of the scientific knowledge and they
are a forum where the specialists can show their work to their pairs”. The
four sections are: ankle and foot, knee, shoulder and sports medicine.
