The Reinhold Ganz Lecture
Reinhold Ganz has opened a new era of understanding and treatment of hip
disease. As a Chair of the Department of Orthopaedics of the University of
Berne he has fostered academic orthopaedic excellence and educated a
generation of orthopaedic surgeons. As a Consultant at the Department of
Orthopaedics of the University of Zurich from 2004 to 2007 he served as a
role model for analyzing and treating orthopaedic problems and substantially contributed to the Department‘s development.
In recognition of his past and present contributions, «The Reinhold Ganz
Lecture» was created in 2010. We are proud to invite to the sixth «Reinhold Ganz Lecture» which will take place on April 28th, 2016.
Lawrence Scott Levin, MD, FACS
L. Scott Levin is the Paul B. Magnuson Professor of Bone and Joint Surgery
and Chair of the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at the University of
Pennsylvania School of Medicine, and Professor of Surgery (Plastic Surgery).
As an accomplished orthopaedic and plastic surgeon he focuses on hand and
upper extremity surgery, reconstructive microsurgical techniques for
extremity reconstruction and limb salvage. Dr. Levin is also the head of the
Vascularized Composite Allotransplantation Program at Penn. In 2011, he
directed the team that performed the first bilateral hand and arm transplant
and in 2015, as Director of the Pediatric Hand Transplantation Program of
Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, he led the team that performed the
world’s first bilateral hand transplant in a child.
In the 1980‘s Dr. Levin was a fellow of Prof. Ganz and has been influenced
substantially by his stay at Berne. Today he is a world leader in limb salvage,
an extremely respected chairman of one of the most prestigious institutions
in the US who has contributed more than 280 articals, 73 book chapters and
