A series of productive discussions at this scientific event, born through the exchange of knowledge between medical personnel from different specialties, will contribute to the improvement of patient follow-up outcomes.

In other words, the conference agenda revealed how diverse orthopaedics are, but the field’s long standing interactions with other disciplines, an indispensable element of modern medicine.

During the 3-day programme, the scientific presentations by leading experts provided a perfect amalgam of novel orthopaedic therapeutic techniques that could be transferred to the operating room.

The outcome paved ways to new therapy approaches that could raise hope for our patients.
