Laurens Kaas was born on may 21st 1982 in Heerlen, in the south of the Netherlands. He spent his youth with his parents, older brother and younger sister in Eys. After graduation from high school at the Bernardinuscollege in Heerlen in the year 2000, he started study-ing medicine at Maastricht University and enjoyed his years as a student. After finishstudy-ing medical school, he moved to the city of Breda, starting as a resident at the department of general surgery of the Amphia Hospital. In 2007 he started with a research project on radial head fractures under the enthousiastic guidance of dr. Denise Eygendaal and in 2008 he switched to the department of orthopaedic surgery at the same hospital. In 2009 he moved to Amsterdam to work full-time on his thesis at the Academic Medical Center, with prof. dr. C. Niek van Dijk as his promoter. During that year, on a very hot day in 2010 (the day of the soccer world cup half-final Brasil vs. the Netherlands) he was accepted for his residency in orthopaedic surgery by prof. dr. Daniël B.F. Saris of the University Medical Center Utrecht. He started his residency in general surgery at the Meander Medical Center at Amersfoort in September 2010, with dr. Adriaan J. van Overbeeke as his supervisor. He is currently living in Zeist and is looking forward to start with his residency of orthopaedic surgery in the Antonius Hospital at Nieuwegein in September 2012.
