Our long-time member and one of the former presidents of BHAAAS, prof. Dr. Eldin Karaiković, is coming to Bosnia and Herzegovina again. After participating in the knowledge transfer project and the 17th BHAAAS Days, prof. Dr. Karaiković is coming this time as a lecturer at the 4th Congress of Orthopedists and Traumatologists of Bosnia and Herzegovina with international participation, which will be held from November 12 to 14 at the Holiday Hotel in Sarajevo.
The Congress is organized by the Association of Orthopedists and Traumatologists in Bosnia and Herzegovina, a long-term partner of BHAAAS, and will bring together numerous domestic and international experts in the field of orthopedics, traumatology and spinal surgery. Prof. Dr. Karaiković will participate in a professional program dedicated to spinal surgery, in which he will talk about modern approaches to the treatment of complex diseases and spinal deformities.

Prof. Dr. Sci. Eldin Karaiković is an excellent orthopedic and spinal surgeon, clinical lecturer at the University of Illinois Chicago and associate professor at the Faculty of Medicine SSST University of Sarajevo. He specializes in orthopedic traumatology and spine surgery for adults and children, and his professional, scientific and educational work is recognized in the United States and around the world.
Becker's Spine Review included him on the list of "50+ Spine Surgeons to Know in 2023", noting his many years of experience, scientific publications and numerous international lectures. According to available professional data, his scientific works have been cited in more than 1,400 publications in the field of spinal surgery worldwide.
The special value of his professional activities is represented by his continued commitment to Bosnia and Herzegovina. Prof. For years, Dr. Karaiković has contributed to the development of spinal surgery in our country, the education of young doctors and the introduction of modern operative methods. During his visits, he participates in the performance of complex surgical procedures, expert consultations and exchange of knowledge with local medical teams, providing concrete support to health institutions and patients in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
His engagement was particularly significant at the 17th Days of BHAAAS, where he was one of the leaders of the International Symposium of Orthopedics and Traumatology, organized in cooperation between BHAAAS and the Association of Orthopedics and Traumatologists in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is precisely these long-term partnerships that confirm how connecting experts from the diaspora with colleagues in the homeland can contribute to the development of medicine, the education of new generations of doctors and the improvement of health care.
We are extremely proud of the successes of our members, whether it is their professional career, scientific research work or engagement in the community. BHAAAS is more than an organization: it is a community of top professionals who achieve significant results in their fields, and at the same time invest extra effort to transfer part of their valuable knowledge, experience and international connections to Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Prof. Dr. Eldin Karaiković is one of the best examples of the values on which BHAAAS rests - expertise, selflessness, connection and permanent dedication to the development of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
