Henri Horoszowski Award

This award was established in 1998 in memory of Professor Henri Horoszowski, former chairman of the Musculoskeletal Committee. The award was established to encourage musculoskeletal specialists to become involved in Hemophilia care.

The prize is named in honour of Dr. Vincenzo Pietrogrande, a leading orthopedic surgeon and director of the Institute of Clinical Orthopedics at the University of Milan, Italy.
