The ordinary members of the Federation are the National Societies of Orthopaedic Surgery and Orthopaedic Traumatology from European countries. Each member country can determine two Delegates who form the General Assembly of EFORT.

The General Assembly meets each year on the occasion of the annual EFORT congresses. The General Assembly decides in all matters of the Federation unless such matters are transferred to the Executive Board or to committees. The General Assembly is therefore the highest authority within the Federation and ensures that the aims of the Federation are implemented.

At the moment, the General Assembly consists of Delegates from the 43 EFORT National Member Societies.

During the last General Assembly meeting in Copenhagen on 31 May 2011, the Delegates of the National Member Societies elected Dr. Manuel Cassiano Neves, Portugal as EFORT’s new Vice President, Ass. Prof. Dr. Per Kjaersgaard-Andersen, Denmark as the Secretary General, and Dr. George Macheras, Greece as a new Member at Large.  Prof. Dr. Philippe Neyret, France was re-elected to a second term as Member at Large for EFORT. Additionally, Prof. Dr. Pierre Hoffmeyer was confirmed as new EFORT President. Prof. Hoffmeyer, Dr. Neves, Ass. Prof. Kjaersgaard-Andersen, Dr. Macheras and Prof. Neyret will start their terms of office on 1 January 2012 and will serve until 31 December 2013.
