The 30th Japanese-Korean Combined Orthopaedic Symposium (JKCOS) will be held at Nagasaki for two days from April 10(Friday) to 11 (Saturday), 2020. 

This symposium is very special for us, because Emeritus Prof. Katsuro Iwasaki (4th president) and Emeritus Prof. Hiroyuki Shindo (18th president) have

already hosted this meeting twice at Nagasaki.

The first JKCOS/KJCOS annual meeting was held in 1990. For 30 years since then, the JKCOS/KJCOS played a significant role in providing venues for

presentations and discussions on research achievements of orthopaedic surgery. All the member and attendee are "One team", not only for improving

medical skills and research, but also for deepening mutual understanding and friendship.

Nagasaki is located in the southwest part of Japan. Historically, Nagasaki played an important role in Japanese international relations.

This area has served as a gateway to foreign countries. Nagasaki prospered as a center of cultural exchanges and trade with the world since ancient times.

Nagasaki is full of historical, traditional, and cultural riches. Thanks to its proximity to beautiful ocean, we also have delicious food and beautiful golf courses.

Now, we open the web site calling for Abstract.
