Hip Society Awards 2011
The Hip Society announces three awards for papers submitted from the various training programs or from practicing orthopaedic surgeons for presentation at the annual Hip Society open meeting. These awards are named after men who have made outstanding contributions to reconstructive surgery of the hip and will be based on the criteria that follow:
The Otto Aufranc and John Charnley Awards: Papers submitted in these categories are to be based on innovative research, either clinical or basic, encompassing important advances in the management of hip disorders.
The Frank Stinchfield Award: This prize is given to a resident or fellow in training who submits an outstanding contribution concerning hip problems.
Any or all of these awards will be granted annually at the discretion of the Awards Committee of The Hip Society. The author(s) of each winning Award Paper will receive a $2,000 honorarium.
The Hip Society is soliciting papers, which are offered in competition for these awards. All submissions should represent original work that has not been previously published nor submitted for publication. Please indicate if your submission is a resident or fellow paper for the Frank Stinchfield Award. Submitted papers must be in publishable form. These papers are evaluated "blind" so we ask that the author not have his name or the name of his institution anywhere, but on the title page. Papers should be submitted electronically and must be submitted by December 1, 2010.
GUIDELINES FOR SUBMITTING HIP SOCIETY AWARD PAPERS TO CLINICAL
ORTHOPAEDICS AND RELATED RESEARCH
All Award submissions must meet the published guidelines for Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research (https://www.editorialmanager.com/corr/). All manuscripts must be electronically submitted at the same Web site. When authors submit and upload material they must select “Society Awards” when asked for “Article Type.” Authors will then be required to selection a “Section/Category,” and should select, “2011 Hip Society Awards.” (Failure to properly select the proper article type and section/category may result in improper processing and not being considered for the intended award.) Submissions winning an award of The Society will be published in CORR with the annual Proceedings of The Society. Please call the CORR office (215-392-0270) if you have problems with the submission. All submissions must include a cover letter signed by the corresponding author
(1) documenting appropriate participation of all authors,
(2) stating all coauthors have seen and agree with the contents of the manuscript, and
(3) indicating the work has not been submitted or published elsewhere.
Please contact the CORR office (215-392-0270) for further information. Awards will be reviewed by The Society. You will be notified by The Society (not by Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research) regarding all decisions.
