Well, good morning, ladies and gentlemen. My name is J.T. Tokish, and I'm the current president of ANNA. And it's my great honor to welcome you to the 2024 Specialty Day here in San Francisco. We are blessed to be joined by the world's great international organization in Issachas. And thanks to to our program chairs, you're going to find that today is incredibly engaging. I will tell you that. We can just advance the slide, please. Thank you. It's an honor to be part of ANNA and represent our over 5,800 members. ANNA, since 1982, has been an organization dedicated to two things, innovation and education. That's what runs through our DNA. And with that, over 40 years of growth and advancement, we now have nearly 6,000 members from over 75 countries. This continues to to be our DNA. Even this just this last year, we train more arthroscopic surgeons than any other subspecialty system in the world. We've transitioned to an online issue so that if you need your educational opportunities to be online or in person, we're up this year to be over 10,000 CMEs offered by 2023. And with that, we'd love to have you join our team. ANNA 2024 in Boston is coming up in May. You'll find that we will we may break an attendance record there with over a thousand attendees. We'll have 24 innovation spotlights from industry partners that are there to show new technology and innovation in person and virtual with over 110 sessions. This is credit to Rachel Frank, who's been my program chair and has absolutely knocked it out of the park. There'll be 35 special interest sessions there as well. So if you do something that is innovative, if you do something that is cutting edge, then we're your organization. With that, I'd like to welcome a good friend and fellow president from Issacoss. David's going to join us and talk to us a little bit about Issacoss and welcome you as well. David, welcome, sir. Thanks, JT. It's wonderful to be here on behalf of Issacoss. I'd like to to welcome you to what is the latest in a series of wonderful collaborations between our two societies. Issacoss, as JT mentioned, is the largest international knee orthopedic surgery, sports medicine society. And we're very proud to have these collaborations with our partner societies. This, I think, should be a wonderful day. I'd really like to thank JT and the ANA leadership for having the vision to allow us to join you and bring a more global perspective to the discussions that we're going to have today. And I really like to thank all the speakers who have come locally and from around the world to help represent Issacoss in this discussion. And also thank our wonderful program chairs who have worked tirelessly to put together what I think will be a fabulous program throughout the day today. I'd like to finish by welcoming you all to Munich next year. We're going to be in Munich, the wonderful town of Munich, in June of next year with a fantastic meeting. Many of you would have been in Boston for our meeting just last year, which I think was a fabulous event. And we're going to take it to the next level with a wonderful program. We've just called for abstracts. So please submit your papers, mark your calendars. We really look forward to seeing you and I hope you have a wonderful day today. Thank you. So, ladies and gentlemen, without further ado, I'd like to welcome our two program chairs who've done a lion's share of the work in putting today's program together. Mike O'Brien and Sachin Tapasvi. Fellas, thanks so much for all your work and we look forward to a great day. Good morning, everyone. Thanks so much for being here. Thank you to my partner in crime, Sachin, who did most of our Zoom calls at 3 a.m. India time to coordinate with everyone. We are really excited for this day. It's going to be a day of international collaboration, talking about the hottest topics in arthroscopy. And we've really tried to build this to be an interactive session full of mostly case debates and case panels. A couple of housekeeping tips for each session, for each debate. We'd like all the debaters to come up on the stage for each case panel, all the panelists to come up on stage at the same time. We're going to be using dual podiums. So as the speaker ahead of you is wrapping up, you can step to the next podium to be ready to go. All of the disclosures for all of our speakers are listed on the VVOX website, as well as the Academy website and app. We're going to be using a app called VVOX for our debates. Can we advance to the next slide, please? There we go. So if you take out your camera on your phone and hover over that QR code, it will take you to the VVOX app. So for each of the debate, we'll be voting at the end so that you can vote on who you think argues their case the best. This QR code will pop up with each debate. But if you just leave that window open on your phone, you'll be ready to go. Sachin. Thanks, Michael, and thank you to Dr. Tokish and Dr. Parker for interesting responsibility of organizing and getting the program out for this specialty day. It's a great honor for ESARCOS to partner with a fantastic organization like ANA and have a fantastic program where we have global leaders in the field of sports medicine related to both shoulder, hip, as well as knee, discuss all their ideas. And I think the whole concept of having a case based discussion is really thought provoking, and we're going to have a fantastic session. So thank you one and all. So we'll go ahead and get things started. If I can invite our first debaters up. Alan Curtis and Guillermo Arce are going to be moderating the first debates. Thank you all so much for being here.
