SUCCESSFUL MEDICAL SYMPOSIUM BY SPORLASTIC GMBH AT NÜRTINGEN CITY HALL
Under the scientific leadership of Dr Daniel Wagner, Consultant at the Sports Clinic in Stuttgart, doctors, physiotherapists and orthopaedic technicians convened last Saturday at the 4th Nürtingen Interdisciplinary Joint Symposium hosted by Sporlastic GmbH in the K3N building.
Following coverage in recent years of the hand, elbow and spine, this year's symposium was all about the “the miracle of the knee”.
“With attendances of almost 200 visitors, the event was able to effortlessly match the successes of previous years. This highlights the tremendous importance of the subject in medical care,” says SPORLASTIC GmbH's head of marketing, Torsten Schweizer.
The numerous presentations by orthopaedic surgeons, trauma surgeons and physiotherapists covered a number of topics, including: The anatomy and biomechanics of the knee joint, diagnostic imaging, various conditions and how they are treated with physiotherapy, conservative and surgical management.
The scientific leader Dr Daniel Wagner also stressed the need for interdisciplinary collaboration between doctors and physiotherapists as well as orthopaedic technicians. “When it comes to using bandages and orthotics especially, this is of great importance for safeguarding the patient's treatment success,” says Dr Wagner.
Lively discussions in the lecture hall and in the breaks between speakers and participants demonstrated how on point and complex this subject is.
