 INTRODUCTION  

ISL&T is a focused meeting devoted to ligament and tendon biomechanics, biology, tissue engineering and clinical management of their injuries. We anticipate free exchange of current scientific information with lively discussion of cutting edge research at the highest scientific level. This year, the ISL&T-X will be staged at Hong Kong which allows more academic interaction among the Asia-pacific region.
