Video Presentations of the 2010 Miami Dupuytren Symposium on YouTube

The Miami Dupuytren Symposium was very exciting. Presentations were recorded on video, and are finally making their way through post processing to be available on line. Free. For you - courtesy of the Dupuytren Foundation. These will be released weekly. Each presentation is at least 15 minutes, and most will take some time to digest, so get comfortable, and get to know the people who are working around the world to find a cure for Dupuytren's and related conditions.

The first video is the introductory and welcoming remarks by Dr. Charles Eaton.

Scientific breakthroughs at the Miami Dupuytren Symposium

It's been a few months since the 2010 International Symposium on Dupuytren's Disease in Miami, FL. This was a huge undertaking - the the first meeting of this scope and magnitude in 20 years, and some incredible new developments were showcased. There was so much material presented it's taking a while to sort through things, but work is underway to publish a textbook based on the proceedings (Springer-Verlag) as well as publish on line videos of the presentations. We will be going through these presentations over the next few months on this site, but in the mean time, the entire book of presentation abstracts and speaker biographies is available at http://www.dupuytrenfoundation.org/DupPDFs/2010_DupuytrenSymposium.pdf

Enjoy!
