AAOS previously honored SBOT during the 2009 annual meeting. The two groups have partnered on several occasions, including a joint education program in Rio de Janeiro in 1997 and translation of the Journal of AAOS into Portuguese.
According to the report, there are 750 Brazilian orthopedist fellows of the AAOS international affiliate members, and nearly 400 Brazilian surgeons attend the AAOS annual meeting every year. Past AAOS president John J. Callaghan, MD, as well as David C. Templeman, MD, and John W. Sperling, MD, MBA, will serve as faculty during the 2011 CBOT meeting.
