A big welcome to our new Nat Rep for Germany, Prof Carsten Perka, Medical Director of the Centre for Musculoskeletal Surgery at Charité Hospital in Berlin. He will be working on our EHS session at DKOU this year, as well as making an impact at our congress of course. You can read more about him HERE. Thanks to Prof Fritz Thorey who steps down, having served the role diligently for many years.

We wish a warm welcome to four new members this month. Full members are: Prof Jochen Gerhard Hofstaetter from Vienna, Austria, Mr Mark Robert John Jenkinson from Glasgow, UK and Dr Ferruccio Vorini from Rome, Italy; International member is: Dr Vishnu Senthil Kumar from Chennai, India.
