Our on-site workshops on the Management of Fracture-Related Infections (FRI) offer the latest insights and practical strategies for effectively managing fracture-related infections.

We cover all critical aspects, including prevention, diagnosis, and combined (medical and surgical) treatment, with a strong emphasis on an interdisciplinary approach and the most efficient modern concepts. The courses are a combination of expert-led lectures, interactive case discussions, and hands-on workshops.

This workshop is applied for approval by the Berlin Medical Chamber Berlin and by Ethical MedTech.

Testimonial

Fara Rahidah Hussin, MD
Infectious Diseases Specialist

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to join the FRI workshop. I must say I had a great time throughout the course, from which I have learned a lot, thanks to Prof. Trampuz, Dr. Ojeda-Thies, and other experts. Not only that, but I was also able to create a network among other specialists from various countries. At the same time, my heartfelt gratitude goes to Prof. Trampuz and the PRO-IMPLANT Foundation, with which I have been engaged for almost two years. This was my third time being able to meet Prof. Trampuz personally. The first time I met him I realized he made Ortho-ID infections simple and easy to understand, regarding how to approach managing related cases. Since then, I have found that ID-Ortho is my special interest as part of my ID fellowship, which I would like to explore further, to learn and gain more skills. Thank you for being an inspirational boss! To those interested in ID-Ortho infections, this course is a must. 100% no regrets!
