From 14th to 16th October 2010 will take place in Verona, at the prestigious"Palazzo della Gran Guardia", the 3rd National Congress SIGASCOT, biennial meeting of the Company to propose, compare, and discuss topics in orthopedic area.

Among the aims that SIGASCOT has since its foundation, it is underlined the importance of disseminating scientific knowledge in the area of specific interest: knee, cartilage, sports, arthroscopy, upper limb and orthopedic technologies. Following the great success of the previous two editions of Bologna 2006 and Bari 2008, the Scientific Committee will propose a comprehensive program divided into panel discussions, lectures, symposiums, training courses, workshops, communications and posters.

Most of the Scientific Program will be dedicated to free presentations on topics of basic research, surgical innovation, clinical outcomes for those who wish to communicate and discuss their experiences. As from now, we kindly ask you to respect the reference dates for submission of abstracts. We are developing a joint symposium with the AOSSM on issues of topical interest and scientific interest. The program will include
a course for Physiotherapists and sport practitioners with specific topics of great practical significance.
The Faculty selected in the National and International area will guarantee the quality and the scientific level of the presented works. In taking vision of this second announcement we invite as from now in the beautiful Verona for a scientific appointment of growth and educational and professional training that we think will be fascinating and exciting for everyone.
