SICOT EDGE is a transformative global initiative designed to advance orthopaedic education through focused, high-impact regional engagement.
Built on the principles of Education, Development, Global Exchange, and Excellence, EDGE represents a new model of learning—one that brings together international expertise and local experience to address real-world clinical challenges.
Delivered through a series of carefully curated 2-day subspecialty meetings across all continents, SICOT EDGE aims to strengthen regional capacity while fostering global collaboration. Each meeting is tailored to the specific needs of its region, ensuring that discussions, case-based learning, and surgical strategies are both relevant and immediately applicable to clinical practice.
WHY SICOT EDGE MATTERS?
SICOT EDGE strengthens SICOT’s role as a truly global organization by extending engagement beyond a single annual congress.
- Expands global reach across regions
- Enhances collaboration between subspecialties and societies
- Enables continuous, year-round engagement
- Supports membership growth and visibility
The programme spans key domains in trauma and orthopaedics, including Trauma, Arthroplasty, Sports and Joint Preservation, and Reconstruction/Limb Surgery and all out 15 sub-specialities under SICOT CONECT. With a faculty model that integrates leading international experts, established regional surgeons, and emerging talent, SICOT EDGE serves as a platform not only for knowledge exchange, but also for mentorship, leadership development, and innovation.
Beyond individual meetings, SICOT EDGE is envisioned as a global network of orthopaedic excellence. It will generate a continuous stream of educational content, promote collaborative research, and identify the next generation of leaders within the SICOT community. By embedding education within regional ecosystems while maintaining global standards, SICOT EDGE reinforces SICOT’s commitment to improving musculoskeletal care worldwide.
Through this initiative, SICOT continues to evolve as a truly global organisation, one that not only shares knowledge, but actively builds the future of orthopaedics.
HOW IT WORKS
SICOT EDGE operates through a structured and transparent process:

STRATEGIC POSITIONING & SICOT ECOSYSTEM
SICOT EDGE complements the SICOT World Orthopaedic Congress by extending engagement beyond a single annual event, creating a continuous and interconnected global ecosystem. This integrated structure ensures year-round knowledge sharing, education, and collaboration across the global orthopaedic community. Together, SICOT’s initiatives serve distinct but complementary roles:
