Queridos colegas, amigos e convidados,

É com grande honra e entusiasmo que convido todos vocês para o 160 Congresso Brasileiro de Ortopedia Pediátrica, que será realizado na cidade de São Paulo, no WTC Events Center, um dos espaços mais modernos e completos da capital paulista.

Nosso congresso é um dos eventos mais importantes da ortopedia pediátrica nacional, reunindo cerca de 400 participantes, entre ortopedistas e estudantes comprometidos com o cuidado e o desenvolvimento saudável do sistema musculoesquelético infantil.

A edição de 2026 trará um programa científico dinâmico, com atualizações clínicas, cursos pré-congresso, mesas redondas e debates com especialistas nacionais e internacionais. Teremos a honra de contar com convidados estrangeiros de destaque, que certamente enriquecerão ainda mais nosso intercâmbio de conhecimento e experiências.

Além da excelência científica, São Paulo oferece uma diversidade cultural, gastronômica e social que torna o evento ainda mais especial — uma oportunidade para fortalecer laços, construir novas parcerias e reencontrar grandes amigos.

Será um grande prazer recebê-los pessoalmente neste encontro que nos inspira a seguir transformando o futuro da ortopedia pediátrica.
