The AO Trauma and AO Trauma Greece: mission, history, and perspectives

Abstract

AO Trauma is the world’s biggest universal trauma and orthopedic community promoting excel- lence in the surgical management of trauma and disorders of the musculoskeletal system. It is part of the AO and is the biggest global group of dedicated orthopedic and trauma surgeons, operating room personnel and researchers, committed to excellence and volunteering for a common goal. It offers an unparalleled route to education, research and community development opportunities re- lated to fracture management and orthopaedic trauma surgery.
