On the minute 36 hours
after finishing the last Hip Symposium 2020 in Bern, official Covid shutdown
for any larger official meeting became effective – so we had been more than
lucky!
We are extremely
excited to announce the 2023 Hip Symposium Bern on April 20th – 22nd on site and finally after Covid in person again. On April 19th a pre-course
is held to teach basics and to offer hands-on anatomy demonstration.
There will be 34
renowned hip experts from all over the world covering 14 sessions.
Topics will include newest
diagnostic MRI with 3D image animation techniques, the latest knowledge about hip
joint preservation techniques and research as well as challenges around complex
THA surgery in young patients.
A key session will
focus on future technologies like augmented reality, AI and robotics. Further
highlights include a live commented surgery (pre-recorded) and two video
sessions about essential technical steps in hip surgery.
It is an unique
privilege for me to announce that our guest of honor will be Richard Santore
from the UCSD Department of Orthopaedic Surgery in San Diego, USA. He owns world-wide
highest reputation and will share his outstanding expertise with us. During the
longer breaks anatomy demonstrations (cadaver) and, for the first time,
industry symposia will be organized.
We strongly hope to meet you soon in Bern

Director, Department of Orthopedic Surgery
