Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of the Organizing Committee we would like to welome you to the 8th Instructional Course on Reconstructive Tetraplegia Hand Surgery. This three days course reviews the current concepts in the surgical rehabilitation of upper extremities in patients with tetraplegia.
Our aim is to provide you with a reliable toolbox of operations and rehabilitation protocols that can be applied in the majority of reconstructions necessary in tetraplegia hand surgery. Therefore, a full day will be spent on practicing surgical procedures in cadavers for surgeons and assessment practice, rehab tips and splint fabrication for therapists. By the end of the day surgeons will demonstrate for therapists the procedures undertaken.
