Dear members & friends of the European Hip Society,

I am delighted to welcome you to the thriving, beautiful city of Thessaloniki, in Northern mainland Greece, for the 16th EHS Congress, 16-17th October 2025.

This year, for the first time, we’ll be joined by the prestigious American and Japanese Hip Societies, as well as the hip section of ESSKA, SICOT and ISHA (Hip Preservation Society), and faculty from our long-term partner EFORT.

We are a very specialized, focused society and we invite all hip surgeons to come along and meet world experts from Europe, North and South America, Australasia, China, Middle East and Japan. Our collaborative scientific programme will stimulate all levels of surgeon and researcher, and according to our tradition, we leave plenty of room for discussion at each session, where you are invited to join the debate and be part of the evolution of our practice.
