Innovations: Implementation and Evaluation

Dear Colleagues, Dear Friends,

Welcome to Orthopaedica Belgica 2027, organised by SORBCOT in collaboration with BVOT on 15 and 16 April 2027 at the Palais des Académies in Brussels.

This year’s theme is:
Innovations: Implementation and Evaluation
Implants – Techniques – Care Pathways

The congress will explore how innovations can be translated into everyday orthopaedic practice. In a “Next Practice Orthopaedics” spirit, we will consider what works, for whom, and how new approaches can be introduced safely and effectively.

Topics will include:

• Mechanical and biological implants

• Evolving surgical techniques

• Enabling technologies such as robotics

• Navigation and minimally invasive surgery

• New models of care, including ambulatory surgery, Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS), patient optimisation and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs)

Developed together with SORBCOT’s affiliated groups and societies, the programme will bring together Belgian and international colleagues for concise presentations, round tables and case discussions.

Free-paper sessions will offer young colleagues a chance to share their work and compete for the Best Free Paper Award.

The congress is more than science. Join the congress dinner at the Châlet Robinson for a great time with your peers and industry representatives.

We look forward to meeting you there!
