As an overarching goal in launching this award, stood the ambition to create a Research Culture within the EFORT community. It was first introduced for the Virtual EFORT Congress in 2020.

If it's not broken don't fix it*
Top bone substitute material for effective antibiotic
and bone defect treatment outcomes
A Q&A with Professor Dr. Christian Heiss
|
Proper antibiotic drug delivery system is imperative when managing either acute or chronic infections following bone trauma or defects.
|
|
|
Professor Dr. h.c. Christian Heiss, head of the Department of Trauma, Hand and Reconstructive Surgery at the University Hospital of Giessen gave information to EFORT about synthetic, biodegradable and osteoconductive bone substitute material for restoration and filling of bone defects.
|
|
|
|
We asked Prof. Dr. Heiss to tell us more about his experience with synthetic bone substitutes, beyond the vast amount of supporting clinical data. He summed up his reasoning for including them as a mainstay in his practice with a pun only a truly experienced orthopaedic surgeon could make, “If it isn’t broken, why fix it?”
