I would like to take the opportunity first to thank the BOA and the sponsors for funding my travelling fellowship to Germany.
Having undertaken an MD at University College London on management of periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs) after hip and knee replacements, I wanted to visit leading centres in the world to further enhance my knowledge of new strategies to combat PJIs and hence my choice of The HELIOS ENDO-Klinik Hamburg. I have indeed spent 2 great weeks with Professor Gehrke’s team where I have learnt alot about PJIs and lower limb arthroplasty primary and revision procedures.
