7月24日至25日，柏林马丁·路德医院业务院长、大骨科主任、德语区国家运动骨科与创伤外科学会（GOTS）德国区副主席、德国膝关节学会前任主席Wolf Petersen教授来到河南省洛阳正骨医院（河南省骨科医院），开展为期一天半的国际客座教授工作。7月24日下午，Petersen教授首先参观了医院院史馆，深入了解医院230余年的发展历史、中医正骨文化以及医院的综合实力，并实地考察了临床技能实训中心。随后，他围绕前交叉韧带翻修术、后交叉韧带慢性损伤及多韧带损伤等主题进行专题授课。现场座无虚席。7月25日，Petersen教授开展了长达10小时的截骨实操学习班。60位学员全程参与，从理论到实践，从病例分析到手术技巧，现场学习氛围十分热烈。课程结束后，Petersen教授为完成线上及线下课程的学员颁发国际膝关节外科学会官方认证证书，为此次学习画上圆满句号。仁医医学与Petersen教授的合作始于2020年初。疫情期间，全球线下学术交流几乎全部暂停。时任德国膝关节学会主席的Petersen教授发起了全球线上学术活动 - 国际膝关节日。连续三年，仁医医学作为中国唯一协办方，在全国10座城市、12家医院设立分会场，与德国同步直播国际学术内容，让中国医生在特殊时期依然能够与世界同行保持交流。三年间，共有45位中国医生登上国际讲台，累计观看人数超过57万人次。2026年，Petersen教授联合多位国际膝关节外科专家共同创立国际膝关节外科学会，并推出了线上课程。课程系统梳理了膝关节外科的核心知识体系，帮助更多年轻医生突破地域限制，持续学习国际前沿理念。课程上线以来，获得了众多学员的高度认可。多年来，Petersen教授已通过仁医医学接收8位中国访学医生、培养3位中国临床医学博士。他始终相信，医学教育最大的价值，不仅在于传授知识，更在于培养下一代医生。近年来，Petersen教授也多次以国际客座教授身份来到中国开展学术交流。2024年，他受邀访问南昌市洪都中医院；2025年12月，他又访问广东省中医院，与中国骨科团队开展临床教学、病例讨论及学术交流。此次来到河南省洛阳正骨医院（河南省骨科医院），是他持续推动中德膝关节外科交流合作的又一次重要实践。从疫情期间坚持线上交流，到如今一次次来到中国开展线下培训，再到建设线上课程平台，Petersen教授始终希望让更多年轻医生有机会接触国际先进理念，与世界同行共同成长。正如他所说：希望这只是一个开始。未来，会有越来越多热爱膝关节外科的医生，因为持续学习、开放合作而连接在一起，共同推动膝关节外科的发展。教育没有国界，医学因交流而进步。2026年11月14日至15日，Petersen教授还将再次来到中国，参加在无锡举办的第六届中欧医院管理与学科建设人才培养全球论坛，与来自中德两国的医院管理者、学科带头人及青年医生共同探讨医院管理、学科建设、医学教育与国际人才培养等热点话题。相信这也将成为中德医学交流合作的又一重要平台，为更多中国医生打开通向国际医学舞台的大门。
July 24 - 25, Prof. Wolf Petersen, Director of the Department of Orthopaedics and Trauma Surgery at Martin Luther Hospital Berlin, Vice President for Germany of the German-Austrian-Swiss Society for Orthopaedic-Traumatological Sports Medicine (GOTS), and Former President of the German Knee Society, visited Luoyang Orthopedic-Traumatological Hospital of Henan Province (Henan Provincial Orthopedic Hospital) as an International Visiting Professor. On the afternoon of July 24, Prof. Petersen visited the hospital's history museum, where he learned about the institution's more than 230-year history, its unique heritage in Traditional Chinese Orthopedics, and its overall clinical and academic strengths. He also toured the Clinical Skills Training Center before delivering a series of lectures on Revision of ACL reconstruction, Chronic PCL injuries, and multiligamentous injuries of the knee. The seminar room was filled to capacity, reflecting the strong enthusiasm of Chinese orthopaedic surgeons for advanced knee surgery education. On July 25, Prof. Petersen led a ten-hour marathon osteotomy workshop. Sixty participants completed the full-day program, which combined theoretical lectures, case discussions, and hands-on sawbone workshop. At the conclusion of the workshop, Prof. Petersen presented official certificates issued by the International Knee Academy to participants who had successfully completed both the online curriculum and the onsite training, marking the successful completion of the course. The collaboration between Gloryren and Prof. Petersen began in early 2020. During the COVID-19 pandemic, when almost all international academic activities were suspended, Prof. Petersen, then President of the German Knee Society, initiated the International Knee Day, a global online academic event. For three consecutive years, Gloryren served as the exclusive co-organizer in China, establishing satellite venues in 12 hospitals across 10 Chinese cities and livestreaming the academic sessions simultaneously with Germany. During this period, 45 Chinese orthopaedic surgeons presented on the international stage, and the program attracted more than 570,000 online viewers. In 2026, Prof. Petersen joined leading international knee surgeons in founding the International Knee Academy and launched its comprehensive online curriculum. The program systematically covers the core principles and latest advances in knee surgery, enabling young surgeons worldwide to access high-quality education regardless of geographical barriers. Since its launch, the curriculum has received highly positive feedback from participants. Over the years, Prof. Petersen has welcomed eight Chinese fellows and supervised three Chinese MD doctoral candidates through his collaboration with Gloryren. He firmly believes that the true value of medical education lies not only in knowledge transfer, but also in cultivating the next generation of leading surgeons. In recent years, Prof. Petersen has visited China on multiple occasions as an International Visiting Professor. In 2024, he was invited to Nanchang Hongdu Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine. In December 2025, he visited Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, where he participated in clinical teaching, case discussions, and academic exchanges with Chinese orthopaedic teams. His visit to Luoyang Orthopedic-Traumatological Hospital of Henan Province represents another important milestone in his long-term commitment to promoting Sino-German collaboration in knee surgery. From pioneering online exchanges during the pandemic, to repeatedly returning to China for onsite teaching, and now expanding global access through online education, Prof. Petersen has remained dedicated to providing young surgeons with opportunities to learn from international experts and grow together with colleagues around the world. As Prof. Petersen said: "We hope this is only the beginning of a growing global community of surgeons committed to advancing knee surgery through continuous learning and collaboration." Medicine knows no borders, and medical progress thrives through collaboration. On November 14 - 15, 2026, Prof. Petersen will return to China to participate in the 6th Sino-Euro Global Forum on Hospital Management Specialty Construction and Talent Cultivation in Wuxi. Together with hospital administrators, department leaders, and young physicians, he will discuss key topics including hospital management, specialty development, medical education, and international talent cultivation. The forum is expected to serve as another important platform for strengthening Sino-German medical collaboration and creating more opportunities for Chinese physicians to engage with the global medical community.
