Dear Colleagues

The time has come for those of you who have not already registered for the annual O rthopaedic Congress in September to do so!

The venue is the idyllic Drakensberg.

The congress is being held from M onday’ 31st August to F riday, 4th September 2009 at the Champagne Sports Resort in the Central Drakensberg and we look forward to having you all there.

The academic programme will include three Instructional Courses with invited speakers from overseas. The invited speakers are as follows:

Prof Phillipe N evret from Lyon, F rance - The Knee and Arthroscopy

Dr S Rajasekaran from Coimbatore, India - The Spine Prof Bennnie Lindeque from Denver, USA - Bone Tumours and Sepsis

In addition, there will be the free papers and workshops which promise to be very interesting.

When the working day is done, you can enjoy the plentiful leisure activities that the Resort and the surrounding areas has to offer.

Accompanying persons are very welcome and a fun and enjoyable programme has been arranged for them. Remember to take advantage of the early bird registration (15 July 2009)


Yours sincerely
