About JSRA
Greeting from Board Members
President
I am Shuichi Matsuda, professor of Kyoto University. I have succeeded Dr. Kengo Yamamoto as president of the Japanese Society for Replacement Arthroplasty (JSRA). I am humbled to serve as president of this historic society.
The JSRA was founded in 1971 as a society for the study of prosthetic joints, and has grown into a large organization with more than 3,800 full members today. Looking at the clinical outcomes of replacement arthroplasty, thanks to the efforts of many of our predecessors, we have seen major improvements in the durability of prosthetic joints, and the number of surgeries in Japan is rising year after year. We have not solved all challenges related to arthroplasty, however, and from patients’ point of view, surgeries that are less invasive, deliver greater durability, and impose fewer limitations on post-surgery activities are needed. We in the JSRA must deploy our scientific abilities to help solve a number of challenges through the advancement of knowledge.
