The EFORT Congress Awards are selected among the many high-quality papers and posters presented at the congress. The best-rated free papers had the opportunity to compete for the “EFORT Free Paper Award.”
For the first time, in 2017, EFORT divided the Free Paper Award competition into orthopaedics and trauma, and presentations were rated by the audience during two respective Free Paper Award Sessions. For the chance to be awarded for your work, abstract submission for the 19th EFORT Congress in Barcelona begins on 15 September 2017.
The following are the winners and presentations from the 2017 EFORT Free Paper Award competitions.
