EHS President Prof Eleftherios Tsiridis did a fantastic test run of the EHS 16th Congress (2025) venue this year for the EHS-organised MAST 11 Course (Masterclass in Arthroplasty Surgery Thessaloniki), held in conjunction with the 80th Congress of the Hellenic Orthopaedic & Traumatology Society’s Congress (HAOST), for which Prof Tsiridis is also President.
Over 1,500 delegates enjoyed the fantastic, top quality scientific sessions, as well as the beautiful seafront of Thessaloniki – home to Alexander Great and his teacher, Aristotle.
Fifty faculty members from abroad attended in person, with many more joining seamlessly via the TedEx format live TV studio.
It was a wonderful success!
Thanks to everyone who presented their amazing cases and latest data, as well as all the delegates who breathed life into the science with their exciting debates on hot hip topics and top tips for difficult decisions.
We heard from the experts of today from Europe, USA, Japan, India, Australasia, South America, Hong Kong and more. Topics included but were not limited to:
1. Personalised arthroplasty
2. Robotics / Navigation / New technologies
3. Complexities for primary & revision arthroplasty
4. Complications including infection & periprosthetic fractures
5. New implant designs: 3D & customised
6. Νational & local registry data
7. New PROMS & outcome measures
Meanwhile, the HAOST congress featured more English-language symposia than ever before with an enrichened international faculty joining our distinguished Hellenic experts, plus a wonderful and memorable 80th Gala Dinner with outstanding key note speakers.
Thanks to all who came. I was delighted to welcome you all to Thessaloniki and we were lucky with the weather – ideal for staying a few days and exploring the myriad cultural attractions including UNESCO sites in this beautiful ancient city and surrounding area, as one Dutch member did.
See you all next year 16th EHS Congress Thessaloniki 16-17 October 2025.
