Dear colleagues, distinguished guests, and delegates

       I am honored to welcome everyone to the 11th TOTAC meeting in Songkhla, the capital of the south of Thailand. This conference is hosted by the Thai Orthopaedic Trauma Society (TOTS) and the Department of Orthopaedics at Songkla University. It was planned two years ago. However, due to the COVID-19 situation, it was postponed twice. This year, once the COVID-19 situation starts to settle and travel opportunities become possible, we will have reunited the whole country as well as our neighboring countries. This year we have an opportunity to welcome friends from Korea, Taiwan, Japan, Singapore, and the Philippines. This conference is specifically designed for orthopaedic trauma injuries, with the main focus on general orthopaedic surgeons and trauma specialists. The advantage of this meeting is that it directly affects the daily practice of all orthopedists in treating their patients well. On behalf of the organizing committee, I would like to invite all members or anyone who has an interest to join this meeting. I hope to see everyone in February.

Best wishes,
Chanakarn Phornphutkul, MD.
President of TOTS 2022-2024
