The Crossfire sessions will cover controversial topics where opinions/philosophies
in the professional world may differ. A moderator will lead the
debate between two invited speakers.
A short introduction to the topic will be followed by a presentation
on each of the diverging positions and a statement why the speaker
thinks that the opponent’s opinion is wrong. This format will polarize
and encourage a lively discussion. A strong take-home message is
generated.
Three Crossfire sessions are planned:
- Controversial concepts in slipped capital femoral epiphysis
- Hip replacement: cemented vs. non-cemented stems in geriatric
patients
- Osteoporotic vertebral fractures: vertebro-/kyphoplasty vs.
conservative treatment
