In May 20, 1985, Bong Gun Kim (Kyung Hee Univ.) and Sung Jun Kim (Han Yang Univ.) founded a society based on people who were interested in fracture research. The first general meeting and scholarly conference were held at Ambassador Hotel in June 24, 1985, and founders declared the purpose of fracture society and voted for committee members and committee of arrangements, and 40 promoters get in on the society, including Hak Hyun Kim, Dae Yong Han, Jung Bin Ju, Myung Ki Mun, Byung Mun An, Myung Sang Mun, Bon Young Kim, Bon Hong Choi, Hee Beck Park, Ju Chul In, et al..
On same day, the promoters set regulation up and named the society as the Fracture Researcher's Society, and they voted Hak Hyun Kim as the first chairman, Bong Gun Kim as the second chairman, and Chung Nam Kang as the secretary. However, the committee of the Fracture Researcher's Society decided to change official name as the Korean Fracture Society on the second general meeting in May 1986. After the first scholarly conference in June 24, 1985, 21 journals were presented on the second conference on November 1985. After that scholarly conferences were held bi-annually, spring and fall, on the night before the general meeting. In addition, the scholarly conferencegrew up not only the quality-wise but also participants-wise; 400 members attended every year and numbers steadily increased over years.
In addition, as the most active subdivision society of orthopedic, from 1995 the Journal of The Korean Fracture Society waspublished quarterly instead of bi-annually, in order to follow up with expended numbers of member and to informand update the members on many fracture thesisses. In order to contribute to research and scholarly information of subdivision society, conferences were held in as a Symposium type and, also, many famous professors and members, who invented internal fixator, were invited as guest speakers for the scholarly conference.
Currently, the Korean Fracture Society as a role model and has about 800 members, which is the mist active society in the orthopedic subdivision. The 19th chairman is Sang Su Kim (Seoul Micro Hospital), and Su Bong Han (Yon Sei Univ.) was elected as the 20th chairman on April 2004. |

The Korean Society for Surgery of the Hand (KSSH) was established on October 29, 1982 when 18 orthopedic surgeons and 7 plastic surgeons combined their efforts to promote developments in the practice of surgery of the hand.
Since its foundation, the society has been led by 13 presidents (Ed- this full list of names is unnecessary in such a publication and would be very tedious to read). In the 22nd annual meeting held on November 19, 2003, the society was merged with the Korean Society of Hand Reconstructive Surgery without changing the society's name. The combined society revised its bylaws and appointed the first chairman of the board of directors, Kim Poong-Taek (2003-2004), and the first director, Tak Kwan-Cheol (2003-2005).
Following the first academic conference held on April 1, 1983, the society held its 22nd conference in 2003 at the auditorium of the Clinical Research Center in Seoul National University Hospital. The society holds a joint annual symposium with the Korean Microsurgical Society every Spring and publishes a book on the symposium contents.
The membership base has grown to 695 (545 plastic surgeons, 148 orthopedic surgeons and 1 general surgeon), from 46 at the time of establishment. The society joined the International Federation of Societies for Surgery of the Hand (IFSSH) and the Asian Pacific Federation of Societies for Surgery of the Hand (APFSSH). The journal of KSSH has been published biannually since 1996. |
