Event Overview
Welcome message:

Dear Friends,

We are proud to announce the 2nd World Congress on Controversies, Debates and Consensus in Bone, Muscle and Joint Diseases (BMJD), which will take place November 21-24, 2013 in Brussels, Belgium.

Over the years, the fields of bone, muscle & joint diseases has undergone enormous expansion in clinical and basic data, as well as that of field-related technology. With the problem of bone, muscle & joint diseases reaching epidemiological dimensions, treatment possibilities have digressed diversely. This development has created a need for debates and discussions on the numerous controversial issues, and to attain clinical conclusions.

The 2nd edition of BMJD aims to continue facilitating effective debate on unresolved clinical and therapeutic dilemmas, supported by evidence-based medicine and expert opinions resulting in agreement on timely issues. The program provides an effective forum for discussing and debating such unresolved controversies, by allowing ample time for speaker-audience discussions with world authorities in the fields of Osteoporosis, Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Muscles and Joint Diseases.

We look forward to your participation and contribution to the 2nd World Congress on Controversies, Debates and Consensus in Bone, Muscle and Joint Diseases (BMJD), and to welcoming you to one of finest cities in the world – Brussels.

Sincerely,

Santiago Palacios, Yves Henrotin and Juan Jose Scali
Congress Co-Chairpersons
