Plenary lectures will be complemented by Invited Minisymposia organized by recognised experts in targeted research areas.

Please recall that only one presentation per registered participant is allowed. A second contribution will be accepted only with the aim to present it in the Fracture Benchmark MS.

The list of confirmed Invited Minisymposia follows:
