About the event

The 49th NOA meeting brings surgeons, trainees, allied health professionals and health leaders together at the Nigerian Army Conference Centre and Suites. Its dedicated conference website focuses on barriers to orthopaedic care and opportunities to improve services through training, technology and collaboration.

The published outline combines research presentations and association business with an exhibition and industry sessions. Pre-conference courses cover complex knee replacement, revision surgery and arthroscopy. The organisers also describe an orthopaedic and trauma outreach programme in the Federal Capital Territory.

Topics and programme

Access to orthopaedic services, including workforce and infrastructure constraints.
Robotics and artificial intelligence in orthopaedic practice; collaborative private practice models.
Knee replacement and arthroscopy courses, scientific papers, plenaries and the association meeting.

Audience

Orthopaedic and trauma surgeons
Residents and trainees
Physiotherapists, theatre nurses and other allied health professionals
Hospital leaders, researchers and industry participants

Participation and practical information

The published 23–28 November range covers the whole conference week, rather than six full days of scientific sessions.

Conference and pre-conference workshop registration use separate forms.

The dedicated conference site lists 10 November 2026 as its abstract deadline; prospective presenters should confirm this with the secretariat because the central association portal carries different abstract information.
