Dear colleague,

On behalf of the Organizing Committee it is a great pleasure for me to invite you to participate in the 9th Central European Orthopaedic Congress (CEOC) from 21 to 23 June, 2012 in Portorož, Slovenia.

Starting in 1986 in Bratislava, CEOC has established itself as a prestigious congress of Central European countries. Slovakia, Hungary, Slovenia, Croatia, Czech Republic and Austria hosted the congress every two years. We are now in second turn already and 9th CEOC will come after twelve years again in Portorož.

3rd Slovenian Orthopaedic congress will join CEOC on 22 and 23 June.

We would like to follow the original idea of CEOC and show, with your cooperation that the aim of CEOC is still present today. However without your participation, without your lectures, your e-posters the congress would be incomplete. Together we can make a scientifically interesting congress.

Not just scientifically interesting, we will meet on Slovenian coast in the northern Adriatic, with a pleasant climate and the end of June, with already warm sea in a beautiful town of roses, Portorož.

Looking forward to meet you all in Portorož.
Yours faithfully,

Prim. Ladislav Šimnic, MD
President of the Organizing Committee
