Join Us for Annual Meeting 2021

After a difficult year of canceled plans, heightened uncertainty, and many, many Zoom meetings, we are looking forward to being together in Charlotte, North Carolina, for AOFAS Annual Meeting 2021. We are closely following national, state, and local guidelines and taking precautions to make sure our meeting is safe for all.

We recognize that this pandemic is not over and many of you are still feeling its impact. For this year's meeting, we have lowered the registration fees from our recent in-person meetings and are offering more flexible options for attendance.

The Wednesday Pre-Meeting is an optional add-on to the meeting this year so you can decide if a 3- or 4-day experience is right for you and your circumstances. If travel is not possible or practical for you at this time, you can participate in the meeting virtually and access the same high-quality foot and ankle education from your home or office.

Whether in-person or virtual, we hope to see you at AOFAS Annual Meeting 2021!

2021 Minnesota Memorial Pediatric Orthopedic Symposium

Welcome To ISHA 2021

Conference Theme: The Science of Hip Preservation

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic which was felt across the world, the Executive Board of ISHA have accepted the kind invitation to combine the ISHA 2021 Annual Scientific Meeting with the Orthopaedic Summit, and hold a combined meeting at the Bellagio in Las Vegas, USA from Saturday, December 11, 2021 until Tuesday, December 14, 2021.

It is recognized that still in many parts of the world, large gatherings an international travel is still very limited, but it is hoped that by the end of year, this combined option offers an exciting possibility to bring together two excellent scientific programmes and offers the best opportunity for the ISHA membership and the Hip Preservation community to be able to hold an in person meeting.

We appreciate that for some, travel restrictions may still be a barrier to attendance, for that reason it is ISHA’s intention to capture the content of the ISHA and Hip Sport program and have this available to members in good standing via the ISHA Academy.
