Alterstraumatologie Kongress 2020 in München

At the congress for geriatric traumatology everything revolves around the interdisciplinary cooperation between trauma surgery/orthopaedics and geriatrics. The congress took place for the first time in 2015 and has been held every year since. It was created to promote the still relatively young field of geriatric traumatology, which is, however, becoming more and more important.

The motto for the Congress of Geriatric Traumatology 2020 is "Together into the future". 450 congress participants are expected, who will use their chance to present innovations and to network. On a presentation area of 150 m², participants can get advice from exhibitors on the latest trends, technologies and concepts. The main topics for 2020 are:

Geriatrics
