Dear Friends and Colleagues,

We are very happy to invite you to the next Journées Lyonnaises de Chirurgie du Genou which will be held from 22 to 24 September 2022.

This new session will be based on the patella and will be particularly exceptional for several reasons. It will mark the 20th edition since our first Journées Lyonnaises which took place in 1971. This year we will be celebrating the congress jubilee: 50 years of the Journées Lyonnaises have gone by, 50 years of history and science around the knee.

It will also be the 3rd edition of “The Patella”, the first having been organized 35 years ago.

This event should be able to gather surgeons specialized in sport and arthritis as well as all other health professionals who come across patellofemoral pathologies in their field.

It is with great pride that the members of the Lyon School of Knee Surgery continue this tradition which has taken a vital place in knee surgery and of which we cannot wait to welcome you.

The patella has often been pushed into the background, this congress will be the opportunity to bring it into the limelight, not as a third compartment but as the central part of the knee.

Looking forward to seeing a great number of you in Lyon.

The Congress Presidents

Guillaume DEMEY, Jean-Marie FAYARD, Sébastien LUSTIG
