We look forward to seeing you at the 99th SOFCOT Congress in 2025.
Participating in the annual congress means joining and defending the great family of French orthopedics, mixing private and public practice, learning from each other's progress, opening up to new developments in different specialties, and coming to share moments of conviviality and work with our community.
In 2025, the guest nation will be Vietnam, opening the door to these Asian countries with their galloping demographics, where orthopaedic surgery is progressing by leaps and bounds. GETRAUM will be the society in the spotlight, with the aim of restoring the prestige of traumatology, which is of interest to all of us in one way or another, and whose development has been so spectacular in recent years.
The 2 professional themes will be patient file management, with issues of data ownership, data collection for scientific purposes, use by industry and exploitation by artificial intelligence, and new technologies, so numerous today, covering tools, implants and patient pathways.
The 2 symposia, the highlights of the congress, will be devoted to the role of arthroplasty in joint fractures of the knee, and to the interrelation between pathology of the lumbar spine and the hip.
On the strength of what we hope will be an attractive program, we look forward to seeing many of you in Paris in 2025, and to welcoming you to this key event in French and international orthopedics.
