Welcome to the Virtual EFORT Congress 2021

Watch the welcome message from Professor Klaus-Peter Günther - EFORT President 2020-2021, giving his insight of this year's main theme.

We celebrate the 30th year’s anniversary of EFORT: 30 years of European Orthopaedics &Traumatology, a fascinating story full of achievements and success, of networking & improved care for patients.

However, we are also facing challenges: increasing musculoskeletal burden needs financial restrictions, workload of nurses and surgeons can lead to burnout, environmental pollution concerns us even in hospitals and the OR.

Sustainable Professional Practice: We need sustainability for the mental health of our employees as well as our own one. It is a prerequisite for cost effective application of expensive technology.

The European Green Deal: As some topics relate closely to the European Green Deal of Commission President Von der Leyen, she will provide a greeting address during our Opening Ceremony.

The next 30 years of EFORT need your support!
