Dear EFAS member,

You are invited to our next General Assembly to be held on October 28th, 2022 in the Edinburgh International Conference Center, Scotland during our EFAS Edinburgh's Congress. At this special meeting, EFAS will hold the elections for new Council members.

The GFFC with the sponsoring of EFAS is giving an excellent opportunity to a fellow to spend three weeks in three major Foot and Ankle Centers in Germany.

This way you can participate in top level surgery and contact with the patient care done in these centers. If you are a EFAS member, don’t hesitate to apply for this excellent opportunity.

You are all cordially invited to join us at the EFAS General Assembly (GA) to be held on Friday, October 28, 2022, at 11:30AM, at EFAS Congress Center Edinburgh International Conference Center (EICC).

EFAS Fellowship Committee is pleased to announce the winners of the EFAS Travelling Fellowship Programme 2022. This fellowship has been an excellent opportunity for several young doctors to follow a fully immersed training with the leading European Foot and Ankle surgeons for the period of three weeks, observing and learning first hand and to get direct contact with many renowned centers and experienced colleges. EFAS will cover travel expenses and housing.

The validation of Spanish and Portuguese versions was given high priority from the inception. Complete data from Portuguese language were available, and the EFAS Score Committee decided to publish this without delay without waiting for completed data from other languages. Following the results of the present study, it can be concluded that the EFAS Score was successfully cross culturally validated in Portuguese. As 221 million people speak Portuguese as mother tongue worldwide, the validation of the Portuguese score version is an important break- through for the EFAS Score. The eleven currently validated EFAS Score versions allow for validated assessment of almost 1 billion people worldwide in mother tongue.
