It is with great pride that the NOF announces that the General Assembly on June 14th, 2018, appointed Bart Swierstra (Co-editor Acta Orthopaedica since 1990) and Bjarne Møller-Madsen (Secretary General Nordic Orthopaedic Federation 2006 – 2012) as honorary member. With this honorary membership the invaluable contribution of Bart Swierstra and Bjarne Møller-Madsen for orthopaedic surgery in general and Nordic orthopaedics in particular is recognised and valued.
