Dear Colleagues, Friends, and Healthcare Professionals,
At the intersection of surgical precision, clinical innovation, and scientific rigor, the European Federation of National Associations of Orthopaedics and Traumatology (EFORT) continues its commitment to advancing musculoskeletal care across Europe and beyond. As preparations gather momentum for the EFORT Annual Congress 2027—to be held in Athens, Greece, from 19 to 21 May 2027—the global orthopaedic and traumatology community is invited to actively contribute to the scientific narrative through the submission of original research and expert clinical insights.
Bridging Established Practice and Emerging Evidence
The cornerstone of the EFORT scientific programme lies in its dual dedication: providing rigorous guidance on well-established medical techniques while systematically highlighting novel, evidence-based methodologies in emerging subfields. The upcoming congress in Athens serves as a premier international platform designed to translate high-level clinical research into tangible, practical value for everyday surgical practice.
Oral presentations represent an indispensable pillar of this educational mandate. Invited authors and contributors are held to the highest standards of scientific communication, ensuring that every session yields actionable insights. Attendees will gain access to first-hand analyses from renowned international experts detailing procedural rationales, clinical decision-making strategies, and critical evaluations of both treatment successes and complications.
Why Contribute? The Value of International Exchange
As the largest European platform dedicated to orthopaedic and trauma knowledge sharing, the EFORT Annual Congress offers authors and clinicians an unmatched opportunity to:
- Enhance Patient Outcomes: Present high-impact findings, clinical tips, and surgical refinements that directly inform and elevate daily medical achievements.
- Inform Core Scientific Guidelines: Contribute directly to the structured educational curriculum that defines European standards in O&T care.
- Expand Professional Networks: Engage in critical peer-to-peer discourse, foster international research collaborations, and connect with global leaders across all orthopaedic specialties.
Call for Abstracts: Submission Guidelines
EFORT warmly invites researchers, academic faculties, and practicing surgeons to submit their original abstracts for consideration in the core scientific programme. Contributions addressing foundational techniques, prospective studies, long-term outcome analyses, and innovative technologies across all O&T disciplines are welcome.
- Congress Dates: Wednesday 19 to Friday 21 May 2027
- Location: MEGARON, Athens, Greece
- EFORT Abstracts Submission Portal: Submissions must be finalised and submitted online through the official EFORT portal.
Join us in Athens to share your expertise, evaluate emerging scientific data, and help drive the future of orthopaedic and traumatological care forward.
