The PRO-IMPLANT special seminars focus on selected topics on challenging implant-associated infections. This seminar focuses on clinical cases with infections involving megaprosthesis. In the 4th episode of our special seminar series, selected complex cases will be presented by colleagues and discussed with the international faculty. We summarize and highlight the most important theoretical aspects and will give outlooks to therapy concepts and future aspects. The seminar is organized in cooperation with Implantcast and Heraeus Medical.
