We are excited to announce the Short Video Session, an opportunity for surgeons to share their expertise, tips, and tricks with the EFAS community. This contest is open to videos showcasing both established and innovative surgical techniques in foot and ankle surgery.

The goal is to create a platform where colleagues can learn from each other, explore different approaches, and highlight technical excellence in surgical practice.

Submission Guidelines
  • Videos should demonstrate a specific surgical technique with clear educational value.
  • Both standard procedures and novel approaches are welcome.
  • Submissions must comply with ethical and legal standards, including patient consent where applicable.
Review Process

All submitted videos will be reviewed by members of the EFAS Youth and Media Committee, who will assess the content based on technical quality, clarity, educational value, and originality.


Visibility and Recognition
  • Selected videos will be added to the EFAS Surgical Video Library, accessible to all EFAS full members.
  • Videos may also be featured during the EFAS Congress in Augsburg.
  • The top five videoswill be showcased in a dedicated Short Video Session at the congress.
