26th European Federation of National Associations of Orthopaedics and Traumatology (EFORT) Annual Congress Lyon 2025

26th European Federation of National Associations of Orthopaedics and Traumatology (EFORT) Annual Congress Lyon 2025 is organized by European Federation of National Associations of Orthopaedics and Traumatology (EFORT), MCI Suisse SA and will be held from Jun 11 - 13, 2025 at Lyon Congress Center, Lyon, Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes, France.

Main Theme: “Modern Technologies in Orthopaedics: Challenging Ethics and Outcomes”.

Description:
EFORT aims to provide worthy scientific guidance via the presentation of well-established medical techniques and new evidence in emerging fields. Renowned experts will discuss their procedures, the rationale for their decisions, as well as their successes and failures, bringing their international experience to your reach. The EFORT scientific sessions are therefore training programs with high scientific value for the prevention and treatment of diseases and injuries of the musculoskeletal system.

Authors invited to contribute to the scientific content of the Congress by presenting their work orally should adhere to the same standards, as their contributions are an essential part of the core programme.

As EFORT is the biggest European platform to share orthopaedic and trauma knowledge, an active participation in our upcoming 26th EFORT Annual Congress Lyon 2025 is the best opportunity to identify new data related to any specialty, gather useful tips and tricks to enhance daily medical achievements and expand the professional network.

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.
