It is a great pleasure to welcome all of you to the 2026 Combined Orthopaedic Knee Societies (COKS) meeting.
This event brings together esteemed colleagues from the British, South African, Australian, and New Zealand Knee Societies to exchange insights, share expertise, and advance our collective knowledge in knee pathology and surgery.
We are delighted to host this year’s meeting at the beautiful Millbrook Hotel and Resort in Queenstown, New Zealand—a setting that reflects our commitment to fostering innovation, collaboration, and excellence in knee care.
The meeting spans two and a half days and centers on the theme, “Tradition, Precision, and Progress: The Future of Knee Surgery.” Our program is designed to advance knee surgery through precision technology and progressive techniques, while honoring the foundational principles and established practices that have shaped our field.
We hope you find this meeting both informative and inspiring—a platform for open dialogue, idea exchange, and professional growth among peers from across our collective societies. Thank you for joining us in this shared journey toward the future of knee care. We look forward to making this gathering a meaningful and memorable experience for all involved.
