*********************** SECOND ANNOUNCEMENT
***************************

You are cordially invited to attend the upcoming Second Berlin Symposium

on:

SIGNIFICANCE OF MUSCULO-SKELETAL SOFT TISSUE ON

PRE-OPERATIVE PLANNING, SURGERY AND HEALING

13th and 14th February 2003

Charité Campus Virchow Clinic,

Berlin, Germany


The goal of the Symposium:

To initiate a discussion between researchers from the fields of
physiology/biology and biomechanics with clinicians. To complement
the current understanding of the significance of the surrounding
soft tissues as the predominant "extra-osseous" blood supply, as
coverage of bone and as actuators in restoring biomechanical
balance.

Main topics:

The importance of muscles during pre-operative planning
Post-traumatic changes in soft tissue biology
Musculo-skeletal loading influences tissue healing

Abstract Submission Deadline: 1st December 2002
