Venue
Congress will be held in Ankaran, at Valdoltra Orthopaedic Hospital.
Recognized as Slovenia’s leading center for orthopaedic surgery, Valdoltra has a long-standing tradition of excellence in hip and joint reconstruction. Its modern surgical facilities, advanced imaging capabilities, and high clinical volume make it a reference institution for both hip preservation techniques and primary arthroplasty. This strong clinical foundation aligns seamlessly with the congress theme, offering participants direct insight into contemporary surgical practice.
Live surgery sessions—central to the congress program—will be performed in fully equipped operating theatres and transmitted in real time, allowing participants to closely follow key procedural steps such as arthroscopic access, labral repair, and total hip arthroplasty via the direct anterior approach.

Our hospital was founded in 1909 as a sanatoryum for bone diseases for the Austro-Hungarian Empire. After World War I it was renovated by the American Red Cross. In 1920 it was taken over by the Italian Red Cross and after WW II Valdoltra became part of Yugoslavian health systeme. It turned to orthopaedics and in early 1961 was renamed Valdoltra Orthopaedic Hospital.
