SEEFORT

South East European Forum on Orthopaedics and Traumatology

Welcome to the SEEFORT 2017 WELCOME MESSAGE

Dear colleagues and friends,

It is our great pleasure to invite you to join us in beautiful Dubrovnik for the 2nd “South East

European Forum on Orthopaedics and Traumatology (SEEFORT)”. Inspired and ecouraged

with the overwhelmingly positive response from partners and attendants of the first SEEFORT

meeting in Dubrovnik 2015, The Croatian Forum on Orthopaedics and Traumatology (CROFORT)

and The Croatian Orthopaedic Society of the Croatian Medical Association (CrOS CMA) have

decided to continue the pursuit of the international exchange of knowledge and experiences.

The Forum will take place in Dubrovnik, a unique city which radiates with quiet elegance and

sumptuous beauty. With almost 1,300 years of rich history, the City of Dubrovnik has proudly

joined the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites. Here, where the Adriatic Sea softly kisses the

shore and the romantic spirit pervades every corner, buildings that still evoke the beauty of the

old aristocracy were erected. Even today, many centuries later, Dubrovnik, like a beautiful lady,

enjoys in her riches and fullness of life.

Once again, on behalf of your Croatian hosts, we welcome you with the conviction that our

Forum will prove to be the place to revive old friendships and form new ones, and hope that you

will find it a stimulating, informative and a pleasurable learning experience.

See you in Dubrovnik!

PRESIDENT OF SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEE

Alan Ivković, Croatia

This Forum’s goal is to present the latest scientific and clinical innovations in the field

of orthopaedic surgery and traumatology. We also propose hands-on-workshops for

clinicians, OR personnel, as well as sessions dedicated to residents and nurses. Once

more, the Forum will be a multidisciplinary program of research and practice, giving

the opportunity to interact and share clinical and research experiences with colleagues

from the orthopaedic and musculoskeletal community. Prominent domestic and

international speakers will provide comprehensive, up-to-date, research-based answers

to the most frequent questions that arise in this rapidly evolving field of medicine. As

a special opening, the 4th edition of the International Conference on Regenerative

Orthopaedics will be offered on Thursday, sharing new insights from the field of basic

and translational science.

The size and diversity of the SEEFORT meeting is reflected in the presentations covering

fields of sports medicine / arthroscopy, upper extremity, muscoloskeletal infections,

revision hip and knee arthroplasty, primary and revision ACL surgery, spine and

thromboprophylaxis. We are proud to welcome our guest societies

and partners.
