The Spanish surgeon approached in Lillehammer the latest advances in hand surgery and reconstructive microsurgery of the upper limb.
The Norwegian Society for Surgery of the Hand held its annual winter meeting last week in the city of Lillehammer, in which the latest scientific-medical developments in upper limb surgery were addressed.
Dr Francisco del Piñal took part in the event’s agenda as an international guest speaker. The Spanish surgeon treated a wide thematic range in which it is worth noting the reflex sympathetic dystrophy, the toe to hand transferences, radius fractures and malunions and the catastrophic hand pictures.
Born in Santander, northern Spain, in 1960, Dr Francisco del Piñal is considered one of the world’s best hand surgeons. His contributions in the fields of microsurgical toe to hand transfer or arthroscopic surgery techniques on wrist fractures are endorsed and used internationally.
