Dear colleagues,

In a year with so many cancelled scientific activities and so much uncertainty at all levels, we have mobilized our efforts to offer Brazilian and Latin American Hand Surgeons a return to face-to-face scientific activities. We are aware of the difficulties we will be facing next year in many areas. Yet, these challenges are motivating us to work even harder to be able to organize a scientific event that brings back our face-to-face personal and scientific interactions. The city of Rio de Janeiro and the Windsor Hotel in the Barra da Tijuca neighborhood have been selected to host our events from December 9 to 11, 2021. We are counting on your participation so that we may all join our efforts in making a success of the 41^st Brazilian Congress on Hand Surgery, the 18^th Latin American Congress on Hand Surgery and the 12^th Congress of Hand Therapists!
