4月8日，正值春日生機盎然時節，東莞中醫院迎來了第二次創傷骨科客座教授項目的啟動。奧地利外科學會候任主席（2025年）、薩爾茨堡大學附屬醫院大骨科主任Freude教授再次訪問東莞中醫院創傷外科。在歡迎儀式上，東莞市中醫院院長鄧偉均院長、大骨科盧國樑主任、創傷科梁浩標主任、足踝科謝慶祥主任以及各創傷、骨科骨干成員親切迎接Freude教授再次到東莞市中醫院創傷骨科交流指導。鄧偉均院長為教授介紹東莞市中醫院創傷骨科過去半年的新發展，并為Freude介紹東莞市中醫院即將在年底落成的骨科新大樓。借由東莞市中醫院創傷、骨科的一系列客座教授交流項目，不斷讓醫院的外科治療水平對接國際領先標準，加之醫院的百年傳承中醫骨傷內調外敷正骨等精華，未來東莞市中醫院將迎來獨樹一幟而又兼具現代醫學頂尖水平的創傷與骨科學科發展。歡迎儀式結束后，Freude教授與梁浩標主任團隊馬上投入到臨床工作交流中，時值創傷骨科收治56位住院病人，本周工作量巨大，也能預示著交流成果的豐碩。梁浩標主任重點與Freude教授分享一例多發骨盆骨折合并創傷性休克、膀胱破裂的病例。梁主任與Freude教授在討論中分享各自在面對如此病例時選擇的入路和復位重建順序，并在患者的膀胱、泌尿道感染影響骨盆骨折治療的處理達成共識。中國老年創傷骨折病人隨著人口老齡化愈加常見，Freude教授以其十幾年來治療老年創傷骨折的經驗分享，與梁主任在一周中都討論了許多關于老年人創傷骨折的預防、診斷、治療、術后護理心得。隨后，Freude教授與梁主任及創傷骨科團隊前往病房，查看需要重點查體病人情況，并討論后續的手術治療方案。Freude教授在與梁浩標主任團隊交流時發現中國人骨盆一處解剖結構與歐洲，尤其德國人的形狀與厚度存在不同，提出與梁浩標主任團隊可在此方向進行多中心雙盲對照研究，各在本中心抽取一定樣本進行對比研究，獲得的有效成果可在國際期刊發表。這不僅有望為東莞市中醫院科研項目的發展做出貢獻，也為更好研究不同人種的骨盆相關部位結構骨折復位治療及后續假體的研發帶來重要的參考文獻。

On April 8, 2024, amid the vibrant spring season, Dongguan Hospital of TCM embraced the launch of the second Visiting Professor Project in Ortho Trauma Specialties. Prof. Freude, President-Elect (2025) of the Austrian Society of Surgery and Head of the Clinic for Orthopedics and Traumatology, University Hospital of Salzburg, once again visited the Department of Trauma and Orthopaedics in Dongguan Hospital of TCM. During the welcome ceremony, President DENG Weijun, Director LU Guoliang from the Ortho Trauma Wards, Director LIANG Haobiao from the Department of Traumatology, Director XIE Qingxiang from the Department of Foot and Ankle, as well as the backbone members of Trauma and orthopedic departments greeted Prof. Freude warmly for his second visit to the hospital and the department. President DENG Weijun briefed Prof. Freude on the development of the Department of Trauma and Orthopaedics of the hospital in the past five months and introduced the new building to be completed as an Ortho-Trauma Center by the end of 2024. Through a series of visiting professor exchange projects, the Departments of Trauma and Orthopaedics in the hospital can align with the international leading standards of surgical treatment, coupled with the hospital's centuries-old legacy of Chinese medicine and bone-setting essence and become both distinctive and top-level specialties with modern medical trauma and orthopedics development. At the end of the welcome ceremony, Prof. Freude and the team of Director LIANG Haobiao immediately engaged themselves in exchanges on clinical practice. The inpatient cases at the moment amounted to 56, indicating a huge workload for the week but also a fruitful outcome of this exchange. Director LIANG shared a polytrauma case involving pelvic fractures, traumatic shock, and bladder rupture with Prof Freude. Then they discussed how they would select the approach and the sequence of reduction and reconstruction for such cases during surgeries. They reached a consensus on the management of the patient's bladder and urinary tract infections, which in this case, already affected the treatment of the pelvic fracture. As the population ages in China, trauma and fractures in the geriatric population will become more and more common, Prof. Freude has profound clinical experience in treating trauma and fractures in the geriatric population,and during his one-week visit to the hospital, he exchanged his knowledge and experience on the topic with Director LIANG, sharing how to prevent, diagnose and treat trauma and fractures in the geriatric population and how to take care of the patients in the postoperative stage. Later on, Prof. Freude together with Director LIANG and his team went to the ward to have a check-up on the targeted patients, and discussed about the following surgical treatment. In between one difficult case discussion, Prof. Freude noticed that there is an anatomic structure difference in the pelvis between Chinese people and Europeans, especially Germans, which is different in shape and thickness. He proposed to conduct a multi-centre double-blind controlled study with Director LIANG's team in this spot. He detailed that each of them can collect a certain number of cases for comparative study in their own centre, and the effective results obtained could be published in international journals. If this works, the research result would not only expected to contribute to the development of the scientific research programs of Guangzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine Dongguan Hospital (Dongguan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine) but may also provide important references for further studies of the treatment of pelvic fracture reduction in different ethnic groups and even the subsequent development of related implants.
