On the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the Institut de la Main, it is our great pleasure to invite you to celebrate this event with us in Paris, on September 26-27, 2025.
 
Looking back to the last 40 years, and onwards to the 40 years to come, the theme of the Symposium will be Future Technologies in Hand and Upper Limb Surgery. Our world is changing fast, and so is our surgical practice. Come and discover all the future developments of Hand and Upper Limb Surgery: robotics, augmented and virtual reality, assisted surgery, tissue replacement, artificial intelligence, machine learning, bio-materials, virtual teaching …

Mark your calendars, and let us know if you want to contribute to the scientific program. More to come soon !
