Dear colleagues and friends,

It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to the 8th Biennial International Congress of ISKAST, which will be held from February 3 to 6, 2026, on Kish Island, Iran. Despite the many challenges our country continues to face—including economic hardships and critical shortages in medical equipment and prostheses—we remain committed to scientific progress, international collaboration, and the pursuit of excellence in orthopedic care.
This year, we are honored to host around 60 esteemed international speakers who mostly will join us virtually from around the world. Their expertise will cover a wide range of topics including sports injuries in: knee, shoulder, hip, pediatric, foot & ankle. And arthroplasty.
While we are grateful for the opportunity to connect virtually, we sincerely hope for a future where we can welcome all our international colleagues and friends mostly in person, in a more peaceful and prosperous environment.

Thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to a memorable and
enriching congress together.

Warm regards

In the Name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Wise
