On behalf of the organising committee, it is my great pleasure to invite you to join the 3rd AOTrauma Asia Pacific Scientific Congress & TK Experts’ Symposium in Chengdu, China, on May 27-28, 2016.

With the great success of our congresses in Hong Kong and Seoul, the AOTrauma Asia Pacific Scientific Congress & TK Experts’ Symposium is recognized as the seminal orthopaedic traumatology meeting in the region. Covering the most up-to-date scientific and technical aspects, our exciting programme of presentations, instructional lectures, case discussions and interactive sessions brings together an international congregation from the Asia Pacific and beyond. In 2016, this 3rd congress promises to provide a truly global perspective to support a culture of excellence and best practice care in trauma management.

For surgeons and researchers, this is an ideal opportunity to interact with your peers and our faculty of distinguished regional and international speakers, share experience and expertise, and showcase outstanding projects and interesting cases.

Chengdu, with its internationally acclaimed Sichuan cuisine and rich history, is the perfect backdrop for this important event. At the dawn of summer, the “City of Hibiscus” is warm and green, ideal for exploring the local delights and sites, and visiting the home of the rare giant panda!
