The „Trinational Hand Meeting“ in Basel, Switzerland in May 2015 was
organized by Prof. Schaefer, head of Plastic and Hand Surgery and his team at
Basel University Hospital. This special meeting united only personally invited
hand surgeons from the Rhein region of Germany, Switzerland and France to
exchange practical experience and knowledge by discussing clinical cases in a
friendly and relaxed atmosphere. The invited speaker of this year was Jan
Fridén who presented an “Update on Functional Restoration in the Upper Extremity
after Spinal Cord Injury and Amputation”.
The meeting took place at the Medartis Campus in Basel and also included
an exciting guided tour through the high-technology production sites of modern osteosynthesis
material. The scientific part was followed by a refreshing swim in the Rhein
and an invitation of the host to have a superb dinner with amicable
conversations at the traditional Basel restaurant “Schlüsselzunft”.
