With around 1,500 attendees and a strong industry presence, the conference was a highlight in orthopaedic surgery. It was an honour for Prof. Valderrabano to be among all the outstanding faculty at such a large, high-quality conference. In addition to excellent orthopaedic skills and expertise, friendship, cordiality and kindness are true hallmarks of Mexican orthopaedic surgeons. Warm thanks go to El Colegio de Ortopedia y Traumatologia A.C..
