The Education Academy of SICOT was created by the Executive Committee in May 2016 for consolidation of all educational efforts of SICOT and to ensure greater coordination and synergy between the committees broadly concerned with education.
The needs of orthopaedic residents, fellows and practicing orthopaedic surgeons around the world are evolving constantly. At the same time, evidence-based knowledge in Orthopaedics is expanding at a very rapid rate. Acquiring and updating knowledge in a short span of time is essential and the SICOT Educational Day was conceived with exactly this purpose in mind.
These fellowships take place in many different countries (Germany, India, United States, Egypt, and others) and cover various specialties and operating procedures. The selected candidates travel for periods of two weeks up to one year and are able to develop their skills through observations and operations alongside renowned orthopaedic surgeons.

The vision of the Young Surgeons Committee is to provide young trainees from around the world with a resourceful educational platform to guide them whilst preparing for the SICOT Diploma and similar exit exams.
These objectives provide a guide to a basic orthopaedic training or education. They set a standard for trainees to achieve and assure the trainee of an acceptable level of knowledge.
Join us for an insightful session, organised by the SICOT Limb Reconstruction Committee, on the management of post-traumatic deformities caused by partial growth plate arrest (PGA). The webinar will feature two expert talks on the evaluation, mapping, and prevention of PGA, and a comprehensive algorithm for management. Engage in dynamic case discussions, covering topics such as the management of resectable bars, distal femoral deformities, post-traumatic tibial varus, and neglected PGA with severe knee deformities. Don’t miss the opportunity to learn from leading experts and engage in discussions with your peers.
The SICOT Paediatrics Committee, in partnership with the China Orthopaedic Elite Club (COEC), invites you to our webinar on Angular Deformities of the Lower Limb in Children. Featuring renowned international faculty, the programme will include technique-based discussions on alignment measurement and deformity correction strategies, followed by case-based discussions covering epiphyseal injuries managed by guided growth or osteotomy, congenital and developmental conditions such as Blount’s disease, and rare diseases like fibrous dysplasia and osteogenesis imperfecta. A panel discussion will conclude the session, providing further insights into these challenging cases.
