Dear Colleague,
It is my great pleasure to announce that the 4th Meeting of International Federation of Foot and Ankle Societies will be held from September 21 (Wed) to 24 (Sat), 2011, at New Public Hall, Nara, Japan.
The Objective of the Meeting is not only to share our medical knowledge and experience but also to establish closer ties among participants from various countries. Scientific sessions will be arranged with plenty of time for discussion and interchange of ideas and to share our medical knowledge about foot and ankle.
We are looking forward to seeing you in Nara Japan, and hopefully all of the participants will find this congress scientifically rewarding and enjoyable.
With best wishes,
Mitsuo Kinoshita M.D.
