Advanced Orthopedic Surgery - Updated concepts of Orthopaedic Surgery |
|
Research in orthopaedics and orthopaedic surgery consistently opens up new and improved approaches and methods for the treatment of musculoskeletal diseases and injuries. In endoprosthesis, it has to be particularly accounted for the optimization of materials with respect to their metallurgical, tribological, and biocompatibility properties. The application of absorbable materials for the treatment of bone and cartilage defects is accompanied by the development of new arthroscopic surgery- as well as anchorage- and fixation-techniques and in spinal surgery technically challenging solutions like the implantation of intervertebral disc prostheses are increasingly established. In recent years, surgical interventions are more and more supported by computer-controlled navigation and robotics demanding special skills from surgeons. Moreover, biological research and tissue engineering gain increasing impact on orthopaedic and surgical aspects for the treatment of e.g. localized cartilage defects via transplantation of autologous chondrocytes.
The rapid progress of research makes it difficult for orthopaedics and surgeons to keep survey of the state-of-the-art knowledge and methods. This course introduces basic as well as advanced concepts, techniques and treatment options in theory and practice. By bridging the gap between the latter, orthopaedics and surgeons as well as representatives of industry will significantly benefit for their daily routine.

> materials research
> bio- and nanotechnology
> biomechanics
> cell and genetic research
> specific computer techniques
> scientific theories
> communication and management
The modules of the MSc will be submitted for the DFP program.
