  3. Lund and Leiden in February 2003 Dear member or non-member of ERASS, It will be the second time that ERASS meet in Scandinavia (Oslo was first in 1992). The XIIIth ERASS Congress in Lund, Sweden will be organized in co-operation with the Danish, Norwegian and Finnish Rheumatoid Arthritis Surgical Societies. The main themes of the congress will be surgery in younger patients with RA, evaluation of outcome, surgical complications and the effect of DMARDs on joint destruction. Joint replacement in younger patients will be loaded more heavily and for a longer time than in older patients, putting special demands on surgical technique and choice of implants. Improved methods for evaluation of outcome have to be developed, and the management of surgical complications is especially important in younger patients. New data on the effect of modern anti-rheumatic drugs are also emerging. Even if the young RA patient will be put in focus, free papers and posters on all RA-related topics are invited. In Lund, situated in the southernmost part of Sweden, just opposite to Copenhagen, summer commonly arrives in late May or early June and we hope to be able to show you this part of Scandinavia from its best. You are most welcome to spend some memorable days with old and new friends with an interest in RA-surgery. The congress will be held at a conference center just outside Lund and shuttle buses will provide a continuos link to the town center. It is also very easy to reach Copenhagen and Denmark by the new Öresund bridge . Make a reservation in your agenda for June 3-5, 2004. Welcome!
