The Orthopaedic Trauma Association ( OTA) is pleased to offer the 2nd Annual International Trauma Care Forum October 13, 2010. This one-day forum is an excellent opportunity to address the delivery of musculoskeletal trauma care in developing and emerging regions. This meeting will be held October 13, 2010, the day before the OTA Annual Meeting (which will take place October 14 – 16, 2010). The source of content will come specifically from those who provide orthopaedic trauma care in such settings, and those from regions not typically represented at the OTA Annual Meeting. The forum will include scientific presentations and invited lectures on topics that are unique to orthopaedic care in these environments.

The leadership of the OTA recognizes the importance and benefits of sharing knowledge and experience with our international colleagues. We hope to increase presenter participation this year, and encourage our colleagues from developing and emerging nations to consider submitting an abstract application. International orthopaedic trauma surgeons interested in presenting at this forum can submit an abstract application using the instructions and on-line application above. International Forum Presenters will receive complimentary registration to both the International Forum & the OTA Annual Meeting.
