An
invited special lecture on tetraplegia hand surgery was delivered by Jan Fridén
at the 28th congress of the Deutschsprachige Medizinische Gesellschaft für
Paraplegie (DMGP, German-Speaking Medical Society of Paraplegia) on June 24-27,
2015. This annual meeting united physicians and therapists working at spinal
cord centers of Germany, Austria and Switzerland was held in Kassel, Germany,
perfectly organized by Dr. Marion Saur (photo left). Important scientific contributions were made by
the Nottwil team and the special lecture was exceptionally well received by the
audience. Many detailed and inspiring questions and a lively discussion
reflected the growing interest of the rehabilitation medicine community on surgical
rehabilitation of arm and hand function. The
next DMGP meeting will be in 2016 in Hamburg, Germany - www.dmgp-kongress.de
