On June 25th, Prof. Markus Kroeber, a renowned German spine expert, visited Taishan, a famous hometown of overseas Chinese in Guangdong Province. He was invited to visit Taishan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine as a visiting professor, starting a one-day in-depth exchanges here. In the early morning, YANG Dongliang, President of Taishan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, along with the hospital's leadership team and directors of the Department of Orthopedics, had already gathered downstairs to warmly welcome Prof. Kroeber. At the welcome ceremony, both parties introduced the basic situation of their hospitals and orthopedics departments. Afterwards, President Yang accompanied Prof. Kroeber on a tour of the hospital. Prof. Kroeber showed a strong interest in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). President Yang gave a detailed introduction to TCM theories and characteristic TCM therapies, with a special focus on TCM infrared imaging detection technology. In the TCM care clinic, President Yang also conducted acupuncture treatment on-site to relieve a patient's low back pain, vividly demonstrating the wonders of TCM treatment. In the afternoon, Prof. Kroeber made ward rounds and conducted consultations with the team from the Department of Orthopedics I (Spinal Surgery), and held discussions on complex cases with them, covering topics of spinal metastases, osteoporosis, degenerative scoliosis, revision surgeries for fractures, etc. Both parties benefited a lot from the exchanges and interactions.
