EPHAKS (formerly EPHS) is a medical-scientific society that gathers specialized surgeons and specialists in pelvic bone, hip, and knee joint injuries and diseases. The Egyptian pelvis and hip society (EPHS) was established in 2011 after the cooperation of a group of visionary surgeons who recognized the need for a dedicated society focused on the pelvis and hip conditions in Egypt. After the successful propagation and the growing interest in knee joint diseases, in 2024, the knee joint was added to the society's agenda. It was then transformed into the Egyptian Pelvis, Hip and Knee Society (EPHAKS).
Dear colleagues,
I am honoured to welcome you to the Egyptian Pelvis, Hip, and Knee Society (EPHKS). Our society is dedicated to advancing knowledge, research, and clinical expertise in pelvic, hip, and knee surgery and ensuring that Egyptian orthopaedic surgeons remain at the forefront of innovation and excellence.
Through our conferences, workshops, and collaborative initiatives, we strive to foster a dynamic community where experts and young surgeons can exchange ideas, refine techniques, and improve patient care. With the launch of this new website, we aim to provide a valuable resource for education, networking, and the latest updates in our field.
I invite you to explore our initiatives, participate in our events, and contribute to our shared mission of advancing orthopaedic surgery in Egypt and beyond. Together, we can continue elevating the standards of care and making a lasting impact on our profession and our patients.
Best regards
Tarek Elkhadrawe
