International OTA

IOTA was established on October 11, 2017 in Vancouver, Canada to fulfill the following goals: 

• Promote international orthopaedic and musculoskeletal trauma care, including patient care, education, and research. 
• Allocate venues for and monitor progress of a triennial International Orthopaedic Trauma Association Annual (IOTA) Meeting. 
• Organize a face-to-face meeting at each triennial meeting and each Orthopaedic Trauma Association (OTA) Annual Meeting. 
• Provide a means for Member organizations to enhance international collaboration in research, education, teaching, and program development. 
• Support the development of Orthopaedic Trauma organizations globally.

Additional details are also available in the IOTA Charter.

We are thrilled to announce that registration is now open for the 2nd Triennial Meeting, taking place October 21-25, 2025 in the vibrant city of Guadalajara, Mexico.
