A Message From The AENS President
Peyman Elison, DPM, FAENS

Thank you to all the physicians and members that attended the 2018 Annual Symposium on Peripheral Nerve Treatment in November. Important networking and sharing of technology occurred and supported advancement of peripheral nerve treatment. In 2018, we hosted 3 introductory peripheral nerve workshops in Chicago, Texas and Florida in conjunction with state and regional meetings. We had 13 surgeons complete our Fundamental Peripheral Nerve Surgery Course in New Orleans and 10 surgeons complete our Advanced Peripheral Nerve Surgery Course in Maine. We had a very successful Annual Symposium in New Orleans with 80 doctors in attendance. We had very informative lectures on the peripheral and central nervous systems from acclaimed speakers around the world. We also had two hands-on cadaver workshops on nerve repair and muscle flaps. We are also pushing forward to start a landmark Level 1 research study on recurrence of diabetic foot ulcers after peripheral nerve decompression surgery in collaboration with the Baylor Scott & White teaching hospital in Texas. We will continue to spread the word on peripheral nerve diagnosis and treatment using education, social media and the internet. We thank all of our members, teaching faculty, board of directors and exhibitors for their time, support and dedication in advancing peripheral nerve education. Contact the AENS office or myself with any questions or suggestions.
