LYON25 THE EXPERTS CONTRIBUTION

THE EXPERTS CONTRIBUTION

EFORT aims to provide worthy scientific guidance via the presentation of well-established medical techniques, but also to highlight new evidence in emerging fields. Renowned experts will discuss their procedures, the rationale for their decisions, their successes and failures. At the Congress, an important source of international knowledge and experience in the prevention and treatment of diseases and injuries of the musculoskeletal system will be within your reach. The EFORT scientific sessions are training programs with high scientific value. Authors invited to contribute to the scientific content of the Congress by presenting their work orally should adhere to the same standards, as their contributions are an essential part of the core programme.

As EFORT is the biggest European platform to share orthopaedic and trauma knowledge, an active participation in our upcoming EFORT Annual Congress 2025 in Lyon, France, is the best opportunity to identify new data related to any specialty, gather useful tips and tricks to enhance daily medical achievements and expand the professional network.

LYON25 ABSTRACTS MANAGEMENT TEXT

ABSTRACT SUBMISSION FOR THE EFORT CONGRESS LYON 2025 IS OPEN!


 

ONLINE SUBMISSION PROCESS

After logging on the EFORT Abstract Online Submission Platform - https://scientific.efort.org/efort2025 - please follow the onscreen instructions through the system to guarantee a correct and complete submission. A valid email address for each co-author is mandatory. EFORT will contact authors via the email addresses given during the submission process.

Abstracts must correspond to previously unpublished work. EFORT reserves the right to reject your abstract if previously presented. Moreover, EFORT has focus on ethical research misconduct. Any kind of plagiarism or fraud like fabrication and falsification of data will not be tolerated and handed over to the corresponding responsible authorities.

Submission is defined by differentiation of Clinical Research vs. Basic Science vs. Review studies and by one presentation type among Free Paper or Clinical Report (oral podium), or as Poster. EFORT reserves the right to change your abstract(s) allocation. There is no restriction on the number of submissions from a unique author or group, but each registered participant will have a maximum of six abstracts (3 oral presentations and 3 posters) accepted. Double submissions are automatically withdrawn.

Submitters can edit the authorship information and data of their abstract(s) directly on the online platform until the submission deadline.

For any request, directly contact us at [email protected].

THE REVIEW PROCESS

Each year, members of the worldwide orthopaedics and traumatology community share with EFORT abstracts with compelling clinical and experimental results from different levels of scientific knowledge, as well as many systematic reviews. After the closure of online submission, the EFORT Science Committee selects the best work to be showcased in the congress abstract-based sessions. 

To obtain a legitimate average score and a standard deviation that allows correct assessment of the scores’ variability, every abstract receives a minimum of three scores performed by three different reviewers. A pool of dedicated reviewers with outstanding medical and educational handle the scoring with extreme professionalism. 

The review of abstracts submitted for the upcoming EFORT Congress to be held from 11 to 13 June 2025 in Lyon, France, will be performed as a blind process that is carried out exclusively through our official online scientific platform by beginning of 2025. During this process, abstracts are scored based on different parameters, as follows: 

  • scientific and clinical value; 
  • relevance to the orthopaedics and traumatology (O&T) community’s needs; 
  • suitability of methods to aims; 
  • confirmation of conclusions by results; 
  • objectivity of statements; and 
  • originality of the work and overall added value to the current knowledge in the field.

On top of these general principles, additional criteria are graded on point scales, such as problem description, design, control group, materials, methods, results and conclusions. 

All review criteria are evaluated independently and reviewers base their scores only on the information contained in the abstract (no estimates or projections allowed). The mean score is used as the cut-off point for acceptance.

EFORT reserves the right to reject your abstract if previously presented and/or change the main category and/or the type of presentation of your abstract(s).

Please note that registered participant can have a maximum of six abstracts (three orals and three posters) accepted within the scientific programme of the congress.

Any specific query related to abstract submission can be addressed by email to [email protected].
