ConferenceThe 28th EFORT Annual Congress will take place from 19 to 21 May 2027 at the Megaron Athens International Conference Centre in Athens, Greece. Organised by the European Federation of National Associations of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, the congress is one of the major annual scientific meetings for orthopaedic surgery and traumatology in Europe.
The EFORT Congress brings together orthopaedic surgeons, trauma specialists, researchers, healthcare professionals and industry representatives from across Europe and internationally. Its scientific programme covers the full breadth of musculoskeletal care, including orthopaedic trauma, fracture treatment, joint replacement, sports medicine, spine surgery, hand and upper-extremity surgery, paediatric orthopaedics, musculoskeletal oncology and rehabilitation.
The meeting combines scientific sessions, instructional lectures, expert discussions, abstract presentations and professional education. Topics relevant to trauma and bone care typically include complex fractures, bone healing, non-union, reconstruction, implant-related complications and musculoskeletal infection. The programme also examines new surgical techniques, implant technologies, digital tools and emerging clinical evidence.
Alongside the educational programme, the EFORT Annual Congress includes a large technical exhibition and opportunities for international exchange between clinicians, researchers, professional societies and companies active in orthopaedics and traumatology. The 2027 meeting in Athens provides a broad overview of current developments in European orthopaedic practice, research and innovation.
