Dear Participant, Welcome to the EFORT Congress 2010, to be held in Madrid, Spain, in combination with the annual congress of the Spanish Orthopaedic and Traumatology Society. The EFORT Executive Committee and the Spanish Orthopaedic and Traumatology Society are delighted to invite you to participate in this Congress in beautiful Madrid – a capital known for its architecture and art. It also has a convenient and well situated congress venue. The scientific programme includes symposia and instructional lectures delivered by distinguished speakers from across Europe. Free papers, e-posters, workshops, industrial symposia and technical exhibits will all feature. There will be simultaneous translation in the combined plenary sessions whereas the congress language remains English Controversial case discussions and pro and con debates invite you actively to contribute and share your knowledge with colleagues from all around Europe. Furthermore, in our half-day ExMEx sessions you will gain specialised expertise and share information with different opinion leaders on a specific topic in a group limited to 100 colleagues. For the scientific programme we have successively increased collaboration with our speciality society partners. Along with the scientific exhibition, this congress format will cover the whole range of contemporary orthopaedics and traumatology issues in Europe. At the EFORT congress in Madrid we will share scientific findings, experience and gain a greater awareness of future trends. Our local organising committee has planned an attractive social programme that emphasises Madrid’s beauty and magnificence. Join us in Madrid and enjoy a first-class training programme.

Welcome from SECOT
Welcome address from the SECOT Local organising committee
Prof. Dr. Enric Cáceres Palou Queridos colegas, Queremos daros la bienvenida al Congreso Combinado EFORT-SECOT que se celebrará en Junio del año 2010 en Madrid – España -, donde nos encontraremos para intercambiar conocimientos científicos, construir nuestro futuro más inmediato y fortalecer la cohesión de nuestra Federación. Por primera vez se realizará un congreso combinado entre la EFORT y una Sociedad nacional como la SECOT, que supone casi el diez por ciento de nuestra sociedad ortopédica europea. Por este motivo, en el congreso de Madrid se han introducido algunos cambios respecto a la dinámica habitual del Congreso EFORT anual. Aunque la mayoría de sesiones serán en inglés, hemos dispuesto la celebración de sesiones plenarias con traducción simultánea Inglés-Español (una cada día del congreso), durante la cual no tendrá lugar ninguna otra actividad paralela y sobre cuatro temas: n Estado actual del tratamiento de los politraumatizados n Avances recientes en las infecciones del aparato locomotor n Tratamiento de la enfermedad metastásica n Registro de artroplastias poniendo al día el estado actual en Europa de estos temas. Para ello en cada una de las sesiones participarán dos destacados miembros de la sociedad científica europea y dos miembros de la SECOT. Cursos de instrucción, Simposiums y Sesiones de discusión de casos controvertidos serán organizados con la ayuda de las diferentes sociedades monográficas tanto de ámbito europeo como español. Se han reservado salas especiales para realizar las actividades habituales de nuestro Congreso nacional SECOT, como comunicaciones libres, cursos de instrucción, carteles electrónicos y exposición de los premios SECOT, así como la Asamblea de nuestra Sociedad. El programa científico está ya en una fase muy avanzada de su confección, y se han tenido en cuenta los temas de mayor actualidad en sesiones Experts Meet Experts (ExMEx) para discutir casos clínicos especialmente complejos, fórmula que se ha mostrado muy atractiva en anteriores ediciones. Los resúmenes para el congreso combinado podrán remitirse en español o en inglés indicando el deseo de participar en las actividades SECOT o EFORT a la página oficial del congreso http://abstracts.efort.org. Tras la promoción de este congreso por toda América esperamos una nutrida asistencia de miembros de las sociedades latinoamericanas, para las que también se han preparado actividades científicas de especial relevancia. Finalmente, una reunión de este tipo es una gran oportunidad para compartir inquietudes, deseos y vivencias durante los actos sociales que se han preparado de forma muy especial. Os esperamos en Madrid

LA C AS TE LLAN
Art and nightlife are the two main reasons to choose Madrid. The city‘s art galleries, including the renowned Prado and The Museo nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia (devoted to 20th century Spanish art, with works by Miro, Dali and Picasso), contain a huge number of works of art. Art-lovers, of course, will particularly revel in a holiday in Madrid, but the city has something to offer anyone who enjoys exploring the world‘s great capitals, from parks to flea markets, from flamenco shows to tiny taverns. As if this weren‘t enough, there is also the Plaza H de Toros, Spain‘s largest bullring, where regular bullfights are still held. And sports fanatics can enjoy footballing action from Real Madrid and Atletico de Madrid, Spain‘s most famous football teams.

The highest capital in Europe, Madrid is situated almost at the geographical centre of Spain on a high central plain (meseta). It is also at the heart of the Spanish economic, political and communications systems. The city is compact and easy to navigate on foot, with most of the sights of interest found in the downtown area between the Royal Palace and Parque del Retiro.
