Dear Colleagues,

It is with great pleasure that I send you the Preliminary Programme for the 10th EFAS Congress which will be hosted in Barcelona on 16-18 October 2014.

The congress received an unprecedented number of abstract submissions and as a result the Scientific Committee devised a Parallel programme of Free Paper Sessions. Combining parallel free papers with the plenary session Keynote Lectures delivered by the finest foot and ankle specialists in Europe this promises to be a stimulating scientific event.

We are honoured to have our International faculty participating in the congress in Barcelona and look forward to this session and the ‘Views from Outside Europe’ on Friday 17th October.

Besides the excellent scientific and social program of the Congress, Barcelona is a beautiful Mediterranean city with a long tourist tradition that offers visitors not only fun, but also multiple visits and cultural activities.

EFAS has grown to become a family of friends and colleagues around Europe who share a common passion for foot and ankle surgery and at our congress we celebrate this so please ensure that you join in the social activities during our 3 days together.

We look forward to welcoming you to Barcelona on 16th-18th October.
