I have the honor to write the welcome message for the 12th Mansoura International Foot and Ankle Course. As a part of the Mansoura Orthopaedic Department scientific program, we launched this course in 2009 as an annual course and it has been welcomed by all the participants along previous years. This year, our 12th course is planned to be in Steigenberger Ellessan Ras El Bar.
