RESUMO
During the Guest Nation Symposium (cobranded with the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Orthopädie und Unfallchirurgie, Deutsche Gesellschaft für Orthopädie und Orthopädische Chirurgie, and Deutsche Gesellschaft für Unfallchirurgie) at the 2023 American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons Congress in Las Vegas, the goal was to compile nationally important content from German orthopaedics and trauma surgery. This resulted in a mix of content on the latest developments in trauma care, knee arthroplasty, spinopelvic importance for hip arthroplasty, stemless shoulder endoprostheses, joint preservation for ankle osteoarthritis, trauma education, and research. Of course, this is only a small selection of the important issues that are being driven forward in Germany.
