Plate or screw? At the Medartis Lunch Symposium at FESSH 2026, two leading hand surgeons will make the case for each. And neither will be wrong.

This is a session built around a genuinely practical question: when does plate fixation serve patients better than intramedullary screw fixation, and when does the evidence point the other way?

Moderated by Prof. Elisabet Hagert, Prof. Maurizio Calcagni and Dr Radek Kebrle will examine the criteria that shape real clinical decisions. Operating time, patient outcomes, invasiveness, salvage options, and cost considerations.

This is peer learning in its most useful form: two experienced surgeons, one moderator, and a debate worth attending.
