Proceedings of the P-I Branemark Memorial Symposium, Stockholm 2015

This memorial symposium was planned by friends of Professor P-I Branemark who for decades played a major role in different medical and scientific disciplines, through his discovery of osseointegration. Trained as an MD at the University of Lund, where he also received his PhD and then became professor of anatomy at the University of Gothenburg. He was awarded innumerable awards, more than 25 honorary degrees and doctorates, honorary fellowships and medals throughout the world. He inspired - sometimes even trained - thousands of colleagues and researchers in reconstructive surgery. His discovery has already benefited millions of patients. Sadly Professor P-I Branemark passed away on December 20, 2014.
