Congrès du GEM 2026 : top départ !

Après le stimulant congrès de Laurent Obert sur « L’erreur » en chirurgie de la main… ne perdez pas la main ! Le congrès 2026 mettra un coup de projecteur sur VOS compétences non techniques et transversales !

La main, cet organe complexe et essentiel qui nous relie aux autres est notre passion. Il exige de nous une haute technicité. Mais nous sommes TOUS aussi CHIRURGIENS de l’HUMAIN !

Et c’est bien là l’essentiel : comment nous abordons le patient, nous posons une indication, comment nous l’accompagnons, comment nous gérons une complication, … Mais aussi : comment nous fonctionnons en équipe, nous interagissons avec les autres disciplines et en interprofessionnel, nous intégrons dans nos pratiques les innovations, le numérique, et notre intelligence collective…

Sur la forme, comme l’année passée, des chirurgiens confirmés feront des « mini conférences » sur leur gestion de problématiques qui « donneront le ton » des sessions. Au cours de ces interventions » Comment je gère… « , ils nous donneront des clés sur le plan technique et non technique pour résoudre des problèmes qui se posent au chirurgien de la main au quotidien.

Bien sûr, les communications particulières s’appuieront sur des travaux scientifiques et techniques comme à l’accoutumée ! Mais cette année l’objectif est aussi d’ouvrir ces communications sur des domaines divers de notre hyperspécialité : anatomie, gestion de la peau et des tissus mous, du tissu adipeux, innovation et numérique, troubles fonctionnels neurologiques, kinésithérapie de la main, gestion de la douleur, mais aussi relations interdisciplinaires, gestion des complications, médico-légal, organisations en chirurgie de la Main, FESUM et urgences main, compétences non techniques « soft skills » des chirurgiens, aspects sociétaux ou humanitaires, formation, …

Alors venez partager vos travaux sur tous ces sujets !

Une session particulière sera dédiée à « ma thèse en 180 secondes« . Alors, que tous les membres juniors envoient leurs projets de communication dès à présent !

Les jeunes seront largement mis à contribution pour l’organisation de ce congrès, qui sera donc trans générationnel ! Avec Tout le bureau de la SFCM, avec MCO congrès notre précieux PCO, ainsi qu’avec notre irremplaçable Juliette, nous avons le plaisir de bâtir ce congrès du GEM 2026 avec VOUS !

Fin : 16 octobre 2026 à 00:00

AO Trauma Course—Fracture Care in Older Adults (With Human Anatomical Specimens)

Goal Participants will learn how the overall care of the fragility fracture patient can be substantially improved. Since the fracture represents only one aspect, orthogeriatric co-management of the patient from admission to completion of rehabilitation is the optimal approach. This course delivers the latest evidence as well as practical details on the comprehensive management of fragility fractures in older adults, with the aim of changing attitudes and improving the care of this patient group.

Target participants General trauma surgeons, orthopedic surgeons, geriatricians, and medicine physicians who want to: − Improve their surgical and medical care of patients with fragility fractures − Make improvements in their hospital's and department's approach to fracture care in older adults

Participants should be actively involved in fragility fracture care. In addition, surgeon participants should have completed the AO Trauma Courses—Basic Principles and Advanced Principles of Fracture Management.

Objectives At the end of this course, participants should be able to: • Surgically manage fragility fractures either with osteosynthesis or arthroplasty techniques to avoid revision surgeries • Recognize and address comorbidities and polypharmacy during preoperative optimization through to postoperative follow-up • Manage a fragility fracture patient with preexisting anticoagulation • Prevent, identify, and treat medical complications such as delirium • Organize secondary fracture prevention • Set up and manage challenges coming along with an orthogeriatric co-management model • Aim for early restoration of musculoskeletal function, functionality, independence, and prefracture quality of life

Description A combination of case-based and evidence-based lectures, case presentations, small-group case discussions and practical exercises on cadaveric specimens will be used to deliver the content and to discuss the key surgical, medical, and system-of-care issues in a co-managed care approach, as well as the latest surgical techniques. Facilitated by an expert faculty consisting of both surgeons and medicine physicians, an important focus will be placed on small group work and discussions. Active engagement by all participants is critical to the effective delivery of this educational event.

Chers membres,

La dernière édition de notre congrès commun à Angers a été un franc succès tant par la qualité des présentations scientifiques que par l’ambiance chaleureuse qui y régnait. Il est toujours difficile de s’améliorer, d’innover, mais pour la première fois de notre histoire nous allons franchir notre frontière et mettre l’accent sur la Francophonie. Ce sont nos amis belges qui nous accueilleront en septembre 2026 à Bruxelles, et cela risque d’être mémorable à différents titres. C’est une joie personnelle de pouvoir organiser cela avec la Société Belge de Médecine du Sport et ses représentants : Nicolas Vandenbalck et Jean François Kaux, mais également avec le nouveau président de la SFMES, Philippe Le Van. Pour la première fois également le congrès de la société Belge sera complètement intégré à notre congrès, laissant une large part de responsabilité à nos hôtes à la fois sur le programme scientifique mais aussi sur les festivités (à boire avec modération…) Concernant plus spécifiquement la SFTS, nous poursuivons le travail au travers des différents objectifs que nous nous sommes fixés : Partenariat avec les sociétés nationales : Nous avons été invités par la SFA pour leurs congrès de décembre 2025 à Nantes, avec toute une demi-journée qui nous a été confié pour parler de médecine et traumatologie du sport. Plusieurs programmes de recherche sont lancés avec eux et avec d’autres sociétés (GRIIP, SIMS, SOFMER, ESSKA, SFMKS) Partenariat international : Algérie, Québec, Tunisie, Roumanie, États unis d’Amérique avec un speaker venu de l’Université de Stanford lors du congrès d’Angers. Un émissaire de la SFTS interviendra lors du prochain congrès de l’ESSKA à Prague en mai 2026, sur leur invitation. Formation des jeunes : nous intégrons dans notre bureau des membres du CJMS, qui sont forces de propositions et qui produisent de nombreux documents pédagogiques sur notre site. Par ailleurs l’une de nos fierté est l’organisation du Travelling fellowship avec la SFMKS et la SFA qui propose à 3 jeunes de voyager et visiter sur 3 jours différents service de médecine du sport en France. Enfin, comment ne pas finir en évoquant notre collaboration historique avec la SFMES, qui permet chaque année la réussite de notre évènement commun. Déjà, des liens forts avaient été tissés avec l’ancien bureau dirigé par François Lhuissier. Il est désormais fort à parier, qu’avec le bureau fraichement élu à Angers, sous la houlette de Philippe Le Van, que ces liens seront encore beaucoup plus fort à l’avenir. Ceci afin de vous proposer de manière cohérente, le meilleur de ce que vous attendez en termes de science, de recherche, d’enseignement mais également ce qui nous tient à cœur : de convivialité et de panache.

FESSH Congress 2026

Début : 03 juin 2026 à 08:00

Fin : 06 juin 2026 à 18:00

City : Basel, Suisse

The theme of the FESSH Congress in Basel 2026 explores the complex interplay of structures required for a balanced optimal hand function. Skeletal stability, joint congruency and harmony between intrinsic and extrinsic ligaments and muscles all contribute to balance. Innervation, vascularity, and central nervous control regulate and maintain these functions. The prerequisite to contribute to this congress with an abstract is by focusing on the significance of balance in hand function. We invite you to consider the "balance" in any form in your abstract and your presentation.

We invite all colleagues to submit abstracts for the upcoming FESSH-EFSHT congress. This is an opportunity to share your latest findings, innovative approaches, and impactful case studies with a diverse and engaged audience. Join us in advancing the field and contributing to the collective knowledge and future directions of hand surgery!

For compliance reasons, brand names are not allowed in the title. Any submissions containing brand names will be edited without prior notice.

Swiss Session at the FESSH Congress 2026 The Swiss Society for Hand Surgery (SGH) will offer its residents and trainees a dedicated session within the FESSH Congress 2026.

These short presentations are an important step toward obtaining the specialist title and are usually held in the "gong show" format at the SGH Annual Meeting.

Since there will be no separate SGH Annual Meeting in 2026 due to the FESSH Congress, we would nevertheless like to give our young colleagues the opportunity to present their work.

When submitting your abstract, please select "Swiss Session" track.

We look forward to many exciting contributions!

Début : 14 mai 2026 à 08:00

Fin : 16 mai 2026 à 19:00

Chers Confrères, chères Consœurs,

En 2026, Marseille organisera les Journées de Printemps de l’AFCP mais s’expatriera sur l’île de beauté. Notre congrès annuel se tiendra au Palais des Congrès d’Ajaccio du 14 au 16 Mai.

Le congrès aura pour thème et fil conducteur les possibilités de chirurgie conservatrice dans les différentes pathologies d’avant et d’arrière pieds. Nous accueillerons notamment dans cette optique nos confrères médecins du sport afin de nous présenter les évolutions et nouvelles techniques émergentes dans les pathologies de la cheville et du pied.

La Corse ayant toujours représenté un carrefour des civilisations méditerranéennes, nous accueillerons la Turquie comme nation invitée afin de présenter leur vision de la chirurgie du pied et de la cheville à la croisée de l’Orient et de l’Occident.

Nous n’oublierons pas bien entendu les traditionnelles sessions de cas cliniques et du Bureau des Jeunes. Le programme fera la part belle aux sessions de communications particulières afin que les journées de printemps de l’AFCP puissent rester le congrès de tous les chirurgiens du pied et de la cheville.

Le programme scientifique se complétera par les moments de convivialité qui restent à la fois des moments d’échanges importants et le ciment fédérateur de notre société. Nous espérons ainsi vous voir nombreux notamment lors de la soirée du congrès que nous organiserons cette année dans le cadre majestueux des îles sanguinaires.

En espérant succéder dignement à Bordeaux et répondre à vos attentes, nous vous attendons nombreux le Printemps prochain.

Fin : 28 avril 2026 à 18:30

City : Stockholm

The 25th anniversary of the European Congress of Trauma and Emergency Surgery (ECTES) will be celebrated in 2026 in Stockholm, a city that represents unity, innovation, and progress. The congress will be a joint venture with the 8th World Trauma Congress (WTC). 

The congress motto “TEAM -Together Each Achieve More” highlights the importance of strong teamwork in the care of trauma and emergency surgery patients. The TEAM involves not only the prehospital, ED, OR, and ICU phases of care, but also includes working together and collaborating in research, quality improvement, and education.

Stockholm is a city where history meets progress and innovation, offering a blend of cultural richness and cutting-edge advancements. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a global hub for research and technology, Stockholm is the perfect setting for building international collaboration and to exchange knowledge and innovative ideas. The city is home to the Nobel Prize and world-renowned institutions such as the Karolinska Institute, a leader in medical research and education, which further enhances the academic and scientific atmosphere of the congress.

ESTES is the largest European Society for Trauma and Emergency Surgery with both individual and institutional members. With its diversity and a holistic approach, the society is uniquely positioned to drive innovation, generate and disseminate knowledge, and develop new treatment standards to ensure the highest quality of patient care.

The World Coalition for Trauma Care (WCTC) was created in 2012 to aggregate multiple societies and professional organizations around the world, creating a true coalition focusing on trauma care. One of the most important deliverables of the WCTC is the World Trauma Congress (WTC), which occurs every two years and has been held seven times with great success.

The 8Th WTC in Stockholm, in association the 25th ECTES is an opportunity to bring the world together to discuss, learn, collaborate, and educate healthcare providers about the many facets of trauma as a disease. For the second time ESTES will host the WTC during ECTES, which reinforces our collaboration. We are delighted to continue this partnership and will work together to bring you the best and most relevant scientific content by representatives from all corners of the world.

The program will feature pre-congress courses, lunch symposia, and interactive sessions designed to foster interdisciplinary exchange and professional growth. Internationally renowned experts will deliver keynote lectures, and numerous abstract presentations will highlight the latest research findings.

Beyond the scientific program, the congress venue and social events will provide opportunities to build new connections, strengthen existing collaborations, and create lasting friendships.

We are excited to welcome you to Stockholm in 2026!

48ème Séminaire d'enseignement SOFOP

Début : 25 mars 2026 à 08:00

Fin : 27 mars 2026 à 20:00

Aujourd’hui, même si les pathologies de la main de l’enfant sont de plus en plus souvent traitées par des chirurgiens spécialisés, elles restent un domaine que tout orthopédiste pédiatrique doit connaître. Notre spécialité, depuis toujours, s’efforce de préserver une vision diagnostique et thérapeutique globale. Les anomalies de la main constituent fréquemment le premier signe clinique, orientant vers des diagnostics plus larges, des dépistages précoces et des prises en charge complexes.

Ce thème n’a pas été traité depuis le GEOP de Nice en 1998. Près de trois décennies plus tard, notre société, désormais la SOFOP a fait le choix de faire le point sur le sujet, à la lumière des avancées techniques et thérapeutiques qui ont transformé nos blocs opératoires. C’est dans cet esprit que nous avons proposé d’organiser un séminaire d’enseignement consacré à la main de l’enfant.

Nous aurons le plaisir de vous accueillir à Amiens du 25 au 27 mars 2026. La première journée, qui se tiendra à l’Institut Faire Faces sur le site du CHU, sera dédiée à des ateliers pratiques d’orthopédie pédiatrique générale et rachidienne, ainsi qu’au séminaire recherche. À cette occasion, vous pourrez découvrir des outils innovants en robotique chirurgicale (main, microchirurgie et chirurgie rachidienne) et participer à des ateliers interactifs dans notre centre de simulation SimUSanté.

Le séminaire paramédical, qui se déroulera sur le même site, mettra l’accent sur la pédagogie et la recherche en sciences paramédicales, avec un accès aux mêmes ateliers pratiques. Les 26 et 27 mars, le séminaire médical, entièrement consacré aux pathologies de la main de l’enfant, prendra place à la Maison de la Culture d’Amiens.

Nous vous attendons nombreux, sous le soleil de Picardie, que vous soyez spécialisés ou non en pathologie de la main, car, comme vous l’avez compris, il y en aura pour tous les goûts.

30Th Brussels Hand/Upper Limb Symposium

Début : 06 février 2026 à 15:30

Fin : 07 février 2026 à 15:30

The last two Brussels hand/upper limb symposia focused on the innovative operative use of sonography in upper limb surgery and the implementation of sono-guided procedures in an office base surgical practice. These aspects of hand surgery become more and more a reality among a continuously growing population of surgeons all over the world. Using sonography for interventional purposes allows to better understand the pathophysiology of the diseases and to improve their treatments. A lot of uncertainty remains; sonography allows to dynamically assess the diseases in natural environment, simultaneous comparison with neighbouring healthy tissue and the immediate effect of surgery. This contrasts to other methods, exploring the affections in frozen state, dissected and isolated, flattened on a table, and/or in layers ignoring their 3D structure. The purpose of this third symposium is therefore to explore how sonography helps us to better understand hand and upper limb biomechanics and pathophysiology with a direct positive effect on the quality of care given to our patient. As usual, the primary goals of the Brussels annual Hand/Upper Limb Symposium are to promote the exchange of new ideas, to establish guidelines on a consensual basis, and to foster collaborative investigations among various specialists. Much time will be set aside for the discussions.

The first day will be an introduction to the sonography where theoritical lectures will be separated by hands-on (limited number of active participants). The second day will be the symposium itself with original topics covering the thema of this edition.

Please join us in 2026!

Presentations will be by invited faculty, but a limited number of free papers will be as well accepted. Much time will be kept for discussions and practical demonstrations.

Hip Symposium Bern 2026

Début : 05 février 2026 à 08:00

Fin : 07 février 2026 à 20:00

Now in its third year, the Cleveland Clinic Hip Conference returns on 3 October 2025, with a focused one-day event at The Berkeley Hotel, London. This year’s programme will centre on the resurgence of hip resurfacing and its evolving role in modern surgical practice. Attendees will engage with expert-led lectures, structured debates, and case-based discussions exploring advances in implant technology, surgical techniques, and clinical outcomes.

The agenda will also highlight the increasing focus on optimising surgical approaches—particularly the anterior approach—and its potential to enhance reproducibility and patient recovery.

Designed for orthopaedic consultants, trainees, and physiotherapists, the conference will bring together leading national and international faculty to share insights and shape the future of hip reconstruction.

Supported by Orthopaedic Research UK, the event will be eligible for CPD accreditation.

The Bern Hip Symposium 2026 continues the successful tradition of recent years. It is a great pleasure for me to lead the symposium as the new Director of the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and Traumatology at Inselspital Bern.

The focus remains on joint-preserving hip surgery, with a special emphasis on original research and systematic reviews. One highlight will be the Pre-Course on February 4, 2026, offering practical workshops on fundamental techniques.

We are proud to welcome Prof. Reinhold Ganz as our honorary guest. Additionally, our contributions will once again be published in a Symposium of Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research (CORR).

I look forward to welcoming you to Bern and shaping the future of hip surgery together.

Revision Knee Meeting - EKS

Début : 29 janvier 2026 à 08:00

Fin : 30 janvier 2026 à 12:00

Dear colleagues, dear friends

It is with great pleasure that we announce the first edition of this innovative meeting, THE Revision Knee Meeting or THE RKM.

For most of us THE Partial Knee Meeting is a well-known concept of succesful meetings. It has been going on for the last twelve years in a cycle of four years, about arthroplasty solutions that are not total joint replacements. In analogy, we now introduce the concept of THE Revision Knee Meeting.

Primary knee arthroplasty has been increasing year-over-year for decades. Where volume increases, unfortunately also unwished events and complications occur. Patient satisfaction and functional results are also subjective and patient dependent. Dissatisfied patients will ask for solutions from their index surgeon or one of their colleagues. Revision knee arthroplasty comes with new challenges and difficulties. To be able to help these patients as good as we can, it is important to understand the indication, the mechanism of failure, the possible technical solution, the amount of constraint and fixation needed and the surgical technique to bring these interventions to a successful end.

Education and training can play an important role to obtain all of the above and make a difference for all the National health systems and patients from surgeons attending this meeting. Therefore, we have selected the best revision surgeons from across the globe to come and share their experiences with you.

It is our great honor to organize the first edition of this fabulous meeting, THE RKM 2026 in Antwerp, Belgium. We have the venue, the program and the faculty. Now we only need you, the audience, to make this a challenging and exciting meeting.

The program as you will see will be controversial with a lot of discussions challenging our faculty to share their experiences and results with us.

Attendance is limited, so please don’t wait until the last minute for your registration. Join THE RKM movement now.

61ème Congrès de la Société Française de Chirurgie de la Main - (GEM)

Début : 18 décembre 2025 à 08:00

Fin : 19 décembre 2025 à 20:00

Thème : " L'erreur en Chirurgie de la main ! "

Chers Membres, chers Collègues, chères amies, chers amis,

C’est un immense honneur que me fait la Société Française de Chirurgie de la Main de m’avoir confié la présidence du congrès 2025. Un honneur et un plaisir car ce sont des membres éminents de notre société qui m’ont donnés envie de faire cette chirurgie, en urgence ou en réglé, pour reconstruire le plus bel outil de notre corps. Un honneur et un plaisir de pouvoir présenter les travaux et les humains de Besançon, que Philippe Vichard, Yves Tropet et Patrick Garbuio ont su rassembler hier dans une équipe d’orthopédistes et de plasticiens. Aujourd’hui Francois Loisel et Isabelle Pluvy m’aident à animer cette équipe de praticiens motivés dans un but de reconstruction globale au service des patients franc comtois.

Le thème de cette année sera l’erreur en chirurgie de la main.

Depuis plus de 10 ans nous travaillons sur la performance en chirurgie, et cela nous renvoie inévitablement à nos jours « avec » ou nos jours « sans » ; car la réussite du geste ne signifie pas la réussite de l’acte et la réussite pour le patient.

Comme notre principal système d’apprentissage est basé sur l’alternance « essai -erreur » et que nos prises de décision reposent avant tout sur le système intuitif, de nombreux biais nous compliquent la tâche pour choisir la bonne décision. Car quand nous choisissons une option, quand nous décidons, nous devrions savoir qu’il y a la « bonne raison » et la « vraie raison ».

Mais si décider en milieu incertain a été bien étudié dans le monde économique, nous ne voyons pas encore son implication dans des milieux où la décision impacte l’humain, le monde juridique, le monde médical, l’enseignement et bien d’autres.

Aussi grâce à des personnalités prestigieuses qui travaillent de longue date sur l’erreur et l’incertitude le congrès 2025 sera consacré à cette problématique et sa gestion que nous n’avons pas appris à contrôler.

Dans le déroulé du programme nous trouverons aussi :

une table ronde sur les facteurs humains en chirurgie ; une autre sur les registres en chirurgie de la main et sur l’implication que la SFCM se doit d’assumer en bonne intelligence avec les industriels ; une troisième sur le rôle des chirurgiens de la main dans la détection de l’amylose et de ses nombreux signes extra cardiaques localisés à la main ; un format original de communication par des leaders d’opinion, sur « comment rater une opération » qui sera proposé en parallèle des communications libres. Un lieu unique, prestigieux et solennel nous accueillera le jeudi soir.

Tout ceci, comme les autres congrès et les autres années, ne sera possible que grâce à l’énergie indéfectible des membres du bureau, des membres du collège et des commissions, des membres de la FESUM du GEMSOR, le PCO, notre secrétaire Juliette, nos équipes hospitalières et nos familles qui m’aident déjà et qui m’aident toujours !

Et voilà que nous sommes déjà en 2025… décembre va arriver à grands pas.

SFA 2025

Début : 03 décembre 2025 à 08:00

Fin : 05 décembre 2025 à 18:00

Chères Amies, Chers Amis, Chers Collègues,

Cette année, la SFA a choisi de faire escale à Nantes. C’est pour nous une grande joie et un immense plaisir de vous accueillir dans cette belle ville portuaire et historique de l’Ouest.

Ce n’est pas un hasard si l’on recense près de 900 chansons dédiées à cette ville, parmi lesquelles : Sur le pont de Nantes, Dans les prisons de Nantes, Il pleut sur Nantes et bien sûr Jean-François de Nantes (nous vous invitons à relire les paroles relatant les mésaventures de ce pauvre marin).

Le congrès reste le temps fort de notre société. Sur le plan scientifique, la qualité sera, comme toujours, au rendez-vous.

Ne soyez pas en retard : le congrès débutera le mercredi 3 décembre après-midi avec les symposia épaule et genou, qui porteront respectivement sur les ruptures partielles de la coiffe des rotateurs et les lésions de rampes.

La hanche sera également à l’honneur cette année, avec les résultats d’un symposium consacré au nouveau registre Datalake sur le conflit fémoro-acétabulaire.

Après les Jeux Olympiques, nous avons cette année décidé d’inviter non pas un pays, mais une société savante : la SFTS. Merci à son Président, Hervé Collado. Le programme sport débutera le jeudi après-midi par une session inédite sur l’arthrogenic muscle inhibition, et se poursuivra tout au long de la journée du vendredi.

Une escale, c’est un moment de pause privilégié pour le marin, l’occasion de se ressourcer avant de reprendre la mer. La SFA, c’est aussi cela : le moment de se retrouver entre copines et copains. L’esprit qui anime notre société depuis sa création, sa marque de fabrique, c’est : l’amitié, la simplicité et la bonne humeur. Nous avons besoin de ces moments d’humanité pour tenir bon dans notre métier.

Pour cela, nous vous avons préparé une belle cérémonie d’ouverture et une Fête de la SFA qui laissera de beaux souvenirs. On se souvient mieux de la science quand elle est associée à d’agréables moments !

Réservez dès à présent vos dates : du mercredi 3 au vendredi 5 décembre 2025 !

Amitiés,

Olivier Courage & Ronny Lopes, Présidents du congrès!

26th EFORT Congress- MODERN TECHNOLOGIES IN ORTHOPAEDICS: CHALLENGING ETHICS & OUTCOMES

Début : 11 juin 2025 à 08:00

Fin : 13 juin 2025 à 12:00

WELCOME TO LYON! Dear colleagues,

The main theme of the EFORT Annual Congress 2025 to be held in Lyon, France, is "MODERN TECHNOLOGIES IN ORTHOPAEDICS: CHALLENGING ETHICS & OUTCOMES".

We live in a rapidly evolving orthopaedic world, where technological advancements are significantly transforming both education and clinical practice. The pace of technological improvement is accelerating, presenting the challenge of ensuring that we have the means to keep pace with this evolution.

One notable trend is the shift in patient behaviour and expectations. Modern patients are increasingly well-informed, often turning to online resources and simply googling information about their conditions and potential treatments. This can lead to fast-tracked decisions that are not necessarily tailored to the individual patient's needs. This raises the question: how do we (re)-define the role of the orthopaedic specialist in this context?

Investments made by the implant and pharmaceutical industry are increasingly geared towards the individual user experience, and educational dissemination is being explored through new methods.

How do we interpret the truthfulness, reliability, and impartiality of such a flow of information?

Recognizing these challenges, the European Federation of National Associations of Orthopaedics and Traumatology (EFORT) is committed to tackling these issues openly. Building on a dialogue that scrutinizes the ethical and outcome-related implications of modern technologies in orthopaedics, we are excited to announce the theme of the 26th EFORT Annual Congress in Lyon 2025: “Modern Technologies in Orthopaedics - Challenging Ethics and Outcomes.”

EFORT invites orthopaedic and trauma professionals from Europe and around the world to participate in this important event. Together, we will shape our community platform to engage in meaningful discussions, share diverse perspectives, and critically assess the impact of technological advancements.

So please – come and network. Listen to top class educational content and debate it. Hear the science and assess how it fits in your practice with your team. See how others work together and go back to your own teams and develop them.

Better still, submit your own abstract and share your own ideas and findings! Let’s collaborate for success!
