What happens before a surgeon steps into the operating room?

Preparation.

For many surgeons, that means reviewing fracture classification, planning the reduction, confirming the surgical approach, organizing instruments and refining the fixation strategy.

Then: Before he was revolutionizing fracture fixation, AO Founder Maurice Müller was working a room with a deck of cards. He learned card tricks as a student and kept using them as an icebreaker throughout his career. These 1963 snapshots catch him mid-trick at the AO Course in Davos.

Now: The lesson stuck. At the AO, serious surgical training and real human connection were never at odds—they were complementary from the start. That spirit is still alive at the AO Davos Courses, where participants and faculty from over 70 countries get to know one another and exchange ideas at the Opening Ceremonies, the AO Davos Courses Nights, and every break in between. Might not be card tricks, but it still works the same magic. 🪄⭐
