Symposium

Physical Integrity and Orthopaedic Treatment and Care in Diverse Cultural Contexts

When treating amputees, you will encounter different expectations. Often, the desire for functional reconstruction takes priority, but sometimes the primary focus is on cosmetic reconstruction. This is frequently linked to cultural and religious norms. Access to reconstructive resources also influences decision-making. By exploring these different perspectives, you will learn how to respond to these expectations.
