ConferenceThe World Congress on Osteoporosis, Osteoarthritis and Musculoskeletal Diseases (WCO) is a leading international scientific meeting organised by the IOF-ESCEO. Conducted in English, the congress brings together clinicians, researchers, and policy stakeholders from around the world to address major challenges in bone and musculoskeletal health.
The scientific programme focuses on osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, fragility fractures, sarcopenia, and related musculoskeletal conditions, covering epidemiology, disease mechanisms, prevention strategies, and emerging therapies. Sessions include guideline updates, late-breaking research, and discussions on translating evidence into clinical and public-health practice.
WCO serves as a key global reference point for understanding disease burden, shaping clinical guidelines, and aligning research priorities in musculoskeletal health, complementing more procedure-focused orthopaedic and trauma meetings.
