We are pleased to announce that our team’s name has been included for the first time in a scientific publication. The article was published open access in the journal Arthroskopie and is entitled “Lateral Patellar Facetectomy: Indications, Technique, Risks, Complications and Clinical Results.” The article is now available to read online.

Our team conducted an academic exchange visit to Queen Mary Hospital and its 3D Printing Centre at The University of Hong Kong. The programme included guided tours of the 3D Printing Centre and associated clinical and manufacturing facilities, with particular emphasis on metal 3D printing applications in orthopaedics.
As part of the visit, Prof. Andrej Nowakowski delivered an academic lecture entitled “Is There Still a Need for Innovation in Total Hip and Knee Arthroplasty?”. The lecture stimulated in-depth discussions and facilitated meaningful academic exchange and networking with local leaders in the field.
The visit was organised with the support of Prof. Christian Fang, an expert in the clinical translation of patient-specific 3D-printed devices. We are grateful for the warm welcome and generous hospitality extended by Prof. Frankie Leung, Chief of Orthopaedic Trauma, and Prof. Henry Fu, Chief of Arthroplasty.

We were honored to visit the Orthopaedic Medical Centre at the University of Hong Kong–Shenzhen Hospital, graciously hosted by Prof. Kenneth Cheung, President and Hospital Chief Executive. Prof. Wu Yaoping and his team offered valuable insights into their clinical workflow, showcasing innovative practices within a highly professional healthcare environment. This visit proved to be a productive and enriching experience, facilitating meaningful knowledge exchange and strengthening professional collaborations.
