The 2008 Shriners Hospitals for Children (SHC) Symposium, "The Science and the Surgery of Congenital Upper-Limb Malformations," was the sixth triennial symposium in this series. The concept of a series of symposia on pediatric orthopaedic topics originated with Newton C. McCollough III, MD. As president of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) in 1989, Dr. McCollough worked together with Mr. Gene Bracewell, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of SHC, to arrange for the SHC board to grant $50,000 every three years to fund a workshop that would result in a publication on prevention, treatment, and future directions for an important pediatric orthopaedic condition.
