Dear Members of the Royal College of Orthopedic Surgeons of Thailand and Fellow Professionals,

On behalf of the organizing committee of the TOTAC Annual Meeting 2025 (in collaboration with the Orthopedic Trauma Section RCOST and Department of Orthopedics, Maharat Nakhon Ratchasima Hospital), I am delighted to extend a warm welcome to all of you to the conference, which will take place at the Khao Yai Convention Center (KYCC) in Nakhon Ratchasima from February 19-21, 2025.

This marks the 13th TOTAC Meeting, held in conjunction with the first Asian Orthopedic Trauma Meeting, a prestigious regional international conference featuring renowned international faculties. Additionally, we are celebrating the 40th anniversary of AO Trauma Thailand with a special academic session, honored by the presence of the President of the AO Foundation as a guest speaker. This meeting presents a unique opportunity for us to come together, share knowledge, exchange ideas, and strengthen our professional networks as we aim to advance onto the global stage.

The focus of this year’s conference is on advancing and enhancing orthopedic trauma care, as well as showcasing new techniques and innovations that will improve patient care. I am confident that this meeting will be highly beneficial to all attendees and serve as a platform for collaboration and the creation of new ideas that will continue to elevate the field of orthopedic surgery.
