NOF Congress udskudt til 7.-9. sept 2022
Postponement NOF Congress to 7-9 September 2022
Due to Russia’s attack on Ukraine and the subsequently uncertain situation, also concerning Lithuania, the NOF has decided to postpone the NOF Congress 2022 (which was planned from 10-13th of May) to Wednesday 7-9th of September 2022.
We owe the Lithuanian Society of Orthopaedics and Traumatology a debt of gratitude for being able to organise this event on a new date.
We invite you all to register for this NOF Congress (click here) and we look forward to meet you all in a peaceful Vilnius!

Acta Orthopaedica: abonner nyhedsbrevet!
Kære medlemmer!
Acta Orthopaedica har pr. 1. januar skiftet forlag.
Fremadrettet vil DOS ikke længere opsætte og videresende Acta Nyhedsbrevet, men dette fremsendes direkte fra Acta, såfremt man abonnerer på nyhedsbrevet.
Klik her for at abonnere Acta nyhedsbrev
For the last 3 years you have received a bimonthly e-mail from your national society including the latest new issue of Acta with links to all articles and the issue as an e-zine.
We will now stop the production of separate issues; articles will as per usual be available online (PubMed and PubMedCentral) as soon as they are produced but will no longer be distributed using the issue model.
The new monthly Newsletter will replace the traditional Acta issue, comprising the latest published articles (10-15), some of them in a Selected Highlights section accompanied by a short commentary.
The Newsletter will also be a forum for whatever is of orthopedic interest. We welcome supplementary material; please contact me anders.rydholm@med.lu.se or soeren.overgaard@regionh.dk
Best regards,

Mindeord – Prof. Otto Sneppen
Nekrolog
Det er med stor sorg DOS erfarer, at Professor Otto Sneppen er afgået ved døden. Sneppen var selskabets formand i perioden 1984 – 1986 og æresmedlem af selskabet siden 2005.
Sneppen blev uddannet i København og arbejde som overlæge ved Rigshospitalet. Herefter fulgt 25 produktive år som Professor først ved Ortopædisk Hospital siden som ledende overlæge ved den samlede ortopædkirurgiske afdeling i Aarhus. Sneppen var primus motor i denne sammenlægning, der sikrede en specialisering efter amerikansk mønster, og en førende stilling for afdelingen i Aarhus både nationalt og internationalt. Det lagde grunden til den fagområdestruktur, der skabte faglig udvikling men samtidig bevarede ortopædkirurgi som et stærkt og samlet speciale.
Sneppen grundlagde tidligt Biomekanisk Laboratorium ved Ortopædisk Hospital, der blev et videnskabeligt springbræt for mange unge ortopædkirurger til en karriere indenfor forskellige ortopædkirurgiske fagområder. Få danske ortopædkirurger har igennem deres virke haft større indflydelse på dansk ortopædkirurgi end Otto Sneppen.
Dansk Ortopædisk Selskab og mange danske ortopædkirurger skylder Otto Sneppen en meget stor tak for hans virke for dansk ortopædkirurgi.
Æret være Otto Sneppens minde.
