DKOU - German Congress of Orthopaedics and Traumatology 2016

It is a fact that orthopaedic and orthopaedic trauma surgery have a long lasting tradition in German-spoken countries. More than 100 years ago the basic foundation for conservative fracture management was laid here. This challenge is reflected in this meeting’s motto – “Back to the future”. Past and Future – these terms fit a lot of different countries. They are particularly underlined by our two guest nations, Israel and Switzerland. Besides the scientific topics, there are many other problems that our colleagues in the hospital or in private practice have to deal with. Work environment, compatibility of family and work, questions concerning training and specialization or simply medical billing. These subjects and many more are also represented in our program.
