WHO ARE WE?
The Belgian Orthopaedic Trauma Association (BOTA) is the national lead partner for medical doctors with a special interest in the musculoskeletal trauma-care.
The Belgian Orthopaedic Trauma Association has been founded in the summer of 1990. The founders were René Verdonk (Gent), Peter Reynders (Leuven) and Jan Vanmelkebeek (Antwerpen).
The current president is F. Carlier and vice-president is B. Molenaers.
Our purpose is still promotion of an evidenced based treatment plan for orthopaedic trauma. Every year we organise a national congres but we also organise casuistic meeting where every-one can present there ‘case-reports’ with a peer review. These case-reports can be very interesting, also for residents.
