THIS IS WHERE THINGS GET SERIOUS!
Every year, Team Traumaplatform will take on an extreme challenge with a team of surgeons, residents and researchers from different specialties. To accomplish that: we train, and we train hard! We participate in numerous events in order to get in top physical condition for the main Challenge. This reinforces the Team spirit and improves team effort in clinical practice. Sounds exciting?

Challenge 2015: The Finland Ice Marathon

60 surgeons and residents in Orthopaedic, General and Plastic Surgery formed Team Traumaplatform and participated in this ice cold challenge. 40 contestants on ice-skates and 20 contestants on moutainbikes with spiked tires!

A truly unique event. With an even more unique symposium in the air! This documentary will show you the Team effort.
