Greetings and welcome to the World Orthopedics 2024 conference
Dear participants and colleagues of the conference. It is a great honor and, at the same time, responsibility for me to be not only a participant of this conference, but also to give a keynote presentation in the section Orthopedic Trauma. In recent years, progress in the development of our specialty is evident and is primarily related to the implementation of new technologies in daily practice. These include artificial intelligence, computerized technologies for preoperative planning and execution of surgeries, and many other innovations. Nevertheless, the success in treating our patients has been and continues to be based on the fundamental principles of fracture treatment. They are based on adherence to the basic principles of management of musculoskeletal injuries, which comprise a balance between the biological and mechanical components of osteosynthesis. I believe that exactly these principles will lie at the heart of our presentations.
Dear friends, communication between colleagues is a prerequisite for professional development. This communication is especially useful when we share our experience with colleagues from other countries, continents, and surgical schools. The World Orthopedic Conference gives us this unique opportunity. I wish you all a productive participation in the conference, which will result in the improvement of your professional expertise and the quality of treatment of your patients.
