The European Federation of Sport Traumatology borned 18 years ago and is tremendously growing in the Orthopaedic Sport Medicine field from prevention to resume to sport via injury and treatment.
Each scientific society has his flagship.
Our society organized an international highly regarded biannual meeting, an e-newsletter published quaterly, a US/European fellowship for team physicians. EFOST fully involved and reknown within international congresses (ISAKOS, EFORT, ECOSEP, SICOT, ESSKA,…) and in national meetings and courses all over Europe. One important highlight was missing: our own scientific journal to publish and spread our scholarly work.
We get the great opportunity Muscle Ligament and Tendon Journal becomes the official EFOST publication.
It was an expected wish coming true due to the efforts of our Vice President Nicola Maffuli. A distinguished clinician scientist with a large number of high impact publications, used to serve for a long time in the Editorial Board of various scientific journals, he will chair the Editorial Board supported by an international Editorial Board committee.
EFOST will work hard to strengthen this journal by publishing our studies, symposia and courses, by stimulating our members to submit their manuscripts and by promoting it. It is a cutting edge in EFOST developmement. The indexation will depend of our involvement. Submit scientific papers to MLT journal now!
A great advantage for MLTJ is the structure of EFOST.
As the number of national societies members of EFOST increases, their own individual members are ipso facto EFOST individual members.
Muscles, Ligaments and Tendons Journal will spread as we do for our e-newsletter through our network toward each practicioner for free.
EFOST continues to grow regularly. Lastly, EFOST invites you to its 7th Congress, which will be held in London combined with the 4th Word Sport Trauma Congress, which is held in the Olympic city every 4 years. Save the dates on your agenda: 17th to 20th October 2012.
