This update reviews material presented at the 2009 annual meetings of the American Society for Surgery of the Hand (ASSH), American Association for Hand Surgery (AAHS), and American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS), as well as articles published in the field of hand surgery (other than those published in this journal) between August 2008 and July 2009. Over the years, as with other maturing organizations, the trend at annual meetings has been for fewer free papers and more symposia and hands-on workshops, including many non-continuing medical education (non-CME)-credit industry-sponsored workshops in facilities adjacent to the accredited scientific meeting. In addition, both hand surgery organizations featured presentations on shoulder and elbow surgery and general microsurgery beyond the scope of this review.
