[Practical exercises in surgical technics in the traumatological laboratory]

The surgical training in the traumatological laboratory at the Surgical University Hospital in Munich has proven to be quite successful. The laboratory offers the young resident an opportunity to become familiar with the latest surgical methods within the fields of reconstructive and traumatological surgery. The so achieved knowledge will then be extended in the courses for osteosynthesis in which he will later participate. The laboratory also offers the possibility for experimental research as well as clinical followups and statistical documentation.
