On behalf of the Executive Committee and the Science Committee, we would like to invite you to participate in the 24th EFORT Congress in Vienna, Austria from 24 to 26 May 2023. The annual meeting of EFORT is the largest platform for European Orthopaedics to exchange knowledge and experience within Europe but also with colleagues from other parts of the world.

This year our main theme is “Building the Future of Orthopaedics and Traumatology“. By deliberately choosing this broad statement, we wanted on the one hand to be able to cover the breadth of the O&T specialty and on the other, to inspire some stability, if possible, especially in these uncertain times as we strive to find new visions.

EFORT is the biggest European platform to share orthopaedic and trauma knowledge. Be active in our upcoming 2023 Congress by submitting your work to enrich scientific data related to your specialty and contribute to the educational exchange.
