“Dear Colleagues,
I would like to invite you to register for the AO Latin America Regional Courses 2024.
For the second time in our region, the Clinical Divisions of the AO Foundation will share knowledge in an opportunity to build communication networks and friendship ties. In addition, we will have a research competition called "Latin American Research Challenge". It is open to members under the age of 40 who have original clinical research that has not yet been published or presented and/or has been published within the last 6 months. It is our mission to promote excellence in the care and treatment of our patients' musculoskeletal disorders and our commitment to educate the next generation of surgeons to create a better world.”
