The 99th Annual Meeting of the Japanese Orthopaedic Association

We are pleased to announce that the 99th Annual Meeting of the Japanese
Orthopaedic Association will be held in Hyogo Prefecture from Thursday, May 21 to Sunday, May 24, 2026.

The theme of this academic meeting is “A Bridge Between Past, Present, and Future – Connecting a Century”. The year 2026 marks the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Japanese Orthopaedic Association. As we enter an era of 100-year lifespans, and a rapidly aging society, the role of orthopaedics has become more important than ever.
This program has been carefully designed to reflect on the rich history and remarkable achievements of our predecessors, while also passing the torch toward the next century.

We sincerely look forward to welcoming many of you in Kobe.
