This year, the annual meeting of the South German Orthopedic and Trauma Surgeons took place in Baden-Baden around May 1st. I left for Baden-Baden immediately after my consultation on Friday to attend the event.
In addition to a large number of presentations, the industry was also strongly represented this year. The latest medical technology products were presented at countless exhibition booths.
From new prostheses to shoe insoles, everything was there.
My particular attention this year was focused on new developments in the field of arthroscopic instruments and, above all, physical therapy devices.
Pain in joints and muscles is always a therapeutic challenge.
The industry offers many new devices to manage various health conditions without surgery. I was particularly excited about a new therapy laser that can be used for pain therapy in a variety of musculoskeletal disorders.
