ConferenceThe 45th Annual Meeting of the European Bone & Joint Infection Society (EBJIS) convenes the European community dedicated to the prevention, diagnosis and management of bone and joint infection.
As the society’s core annual congress, the meeting traditionally centres on fracture-related infection (FRI), prosthetic joint infection (PJI) and osteomyelitis, with a strong focus on clinical decision-making, evolving evidence and implementation of consensus definitions in daily practice. Particular attention is typically given to diagnostic strategies, interpretation of microbiological data, surgical and antimicrobial treatment pathways, and outcome assessment.
The EBJIS annual meeting provides a platform for multidisciplinary exchange between orthopaedic surgeons, infectious disease specialists, microbiologists, researchers and allied professionals. Compared to joint or externally partnered editions, the standalone EBJIS congress emphasises European research contributions, registry insights, guideline development and harmonisation efforts across healthcare systems.
The programme is generally oriented toward structured scientific sessions, abstract presentations and discussion of emerging data rather than hands-on workshops. It is particularly relevant for clinicians, researchers and policy-involved stakeholders seeking alignment on definitions, standards and evidence frameworks in musculoskeletal infection care.
Further details, including programme structure and abstract deadlines, are expected to be announced.
