Dear Colleagues and Friends,
After the outstanding success of the 2023 South-East European Forum on Orthopaedics and Traumatology (SEEFORT), we are delighted to announce the 5th edition of SEEFORT, which will once again take place in the stunning city of Dubrovnik, Croatia, at the Sheraton Hotel in May 2025.
Building on the momentum of previous editions held in 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2023, this year’s Forum promises an even richer and more diverse program. We will present the latest scientific and clinical advancements in orthopaedic surgery, along with enhanced hands-on workshops, interactive sessions, and dedicated tracks for residents, nurses, and physiotherapists.
The 2025 SEEFORT will feature focused sessions on key areas of interest, including hip, knee, shoulder and elbow, spine, foot and ankle etc. These sessions will be complemented by free paper sessions that will offer an excellent platform for residents to showcase their research findings and clinical innovations, highlighting the vibrant future of our field. This year, the best oral presentation in the free paper session will even be awarded, with details available during abstract submission.
This multidisciplinary program is designed to foster collaboration and knowledge-sharing across the orthopaedic and musculoskeletal community. Renowned domestic and international speakers will deliver comprehensive, evidence-based insights into our specialty’s most pressing and frequently encountered challenges.
On behalf of your Croatian Orthopaedic Society and Croatian Forum on Orthopaedics and Traumatology, we look forward to welcoming you to Dubrovnik, where SEEFORT continues to be a place to revive old friendships, build new ones, and engage in stimulating and rewarding discussions. We are confident that this Forum will be both professionally enriching and personally enjoyable.
Warm regards,
Damir Hudetz
President of SEEFORT
