7th Basel Workshop

The 7th Basel Workshop on Current Concepts of Chest Wall Stabilization and Reconstruction is focused on the management of rib fractures, sternum fractures, and on the different aspects of chest wall resection and reconstruction. The main goal of the workshop is to give a neutral presentation of different systems and to give the opportunity to the participants to become familiar with the different techniques of fixation and osteosynthesis.

The venue of the first day is the fantastic Biozentrum of the University of Basel. The content of the lectures will be illustrated with interesting and practical cases by use of interactive tools in a round table setting.

The second day, the participants will have the unique chance to exercise over the different systems on human bodies at the Anatomical Institute of Basel. First, didactic video supported demonstrations will be performed and then, hands on training will be available for each participant.
