DKOU 2026

“Full house,” relevant topics, new ideas!

We successfully presented our solutions and concepts at the DKOU 2026 in Berlin. We were delighted by the great interest in our “Meet the Experts” events and our “Lunch Symposium” on geriatric traumatology. The open exchange of ideas on new approaches and treatment concepts has once again demonstrated how necessary and valuable interdisciplinary dialogue is.

Many thanks to all visitors for their trust, our good discussions, and our shared commitment to ensuring the quality of care.

Osteosynthesis or implant? What’s the best approach for acetabular fractures?

The PETER BREHM “Lunch & Learn Workshop” at the German Congress for Orthopedics and Trauma Surgery addressed precisely these questions: practical, scientifically sound, and featuring direct discussion.

Clinical data and experiences
Hands-on session with artificial bone

At the “Open House Day” event hosted by “Sendung mit der Maus” on October 3, 2026, explorers of all ages had plenty to experience. Through experiments, hands-on stations, company tours, and many exciting insights, curiosity turned into genuine wonder. We were especially delighted by the huge interest. Our children’s program was already fully booked well in advance!

Thank you to all our visitors for the many curious questions, sparkling eyes, and those little “aha” moments.

A heartfelt thank you to Prof. Dr. med. Uwe Maus of the Medical University of Lausitz – Carl Thiem, who made it possible for the children on Open House Day to learn so much about human joints and our implants, to ask him questions, and to gain new knowledge. Everyone had a great time!

A special thank you to all our customers who attended with their families, as well as to all the hardworking volunteers whose dedication made this special day possible.

It was a day that showed: medical technology becomes especially exciting when you get to discover it for yourself.

Unter der Leitung der Instruktoren Prof. Dr. med. Babak Moradi und Baraa Khamees (Universitätsklinikum Schleswig-Holstein) sowie Prof. Dr. med. Ali Darwich (Universitätsklinikum Heidelberg – UK Mannheim GmbH) und Prof. Dr. med. Yves Gramlich (Agaplesion Markus Krankenhaus Frankfurt), die ihr Fachwissen in Vorträgen, chirurgischen Diskussionen und praktischen Übungen an Humanpräparaten weitergaben.

Published in Arthroplasty (Springer Nature), the study reports significant funtional impovement in patients with complex acetabular defects and provides clinical and radiological data on patient-specific reconstruction in challenging cases.

With more than 40 years of experience in the development and manufacture of patient-specific implants, PETER BREHM supports surgeons in ímplementing tailored treatment concepts for complex reconstructive challenges.

A recently published retrospective study in The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery assessed the outcomes of 30 patients with complex periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) after failed total knee arthroplasty. All patients underwent two-stage modular intramedullary knee arthrodesis using KAM-TITAN arthrodesis system by PETER BREHM.

The study reported sustained infection control at follow-up, early mobilisation, improvements in pain and functional outcomes, and stable fixation. No mechanical or implant-related complications were observed during the study period.

Acc. to the authors, two-stage modular intramedullary knee arthroplasty may offer a limb-salvage option for carefully selected patients who are unsuitable for revision arthroplasty, potentially avoiding above-knee amputation.

Key takeaway: The findings support the potential of two-stage modular intramedullary knee arthrodesis in the management of complex PJI and underline its relevance as a limb-salvage strategy in challenging revision cases.

On 3 October, we will be opening our doors to visitors of all ages! As an official participant in the “Türöffner-Tag” (“Open Door Day”) organised by “Die Sendung mit der Maus”, we invite young “Mouse” fans and their families to visit us from 8:30 a.m.

Together, we will take a look behind the scenes and discover what usually remains hidden. There will be plenty to explore:

• Experiment and participate: Exciting experiments and hands-on activity stations for curious young explorers (children’s programme)
• How, what, where? We demonstrate how an artificial joint is created through numerous individual production steps
• Behind the scenes: Company tours for adults
• Fun and games: A bouncy castle and mobile play area provide plenty of entertainment

Interest has been tremendous, and our children’s programme is already fully booked.

We are looking forward to a fantastic day, lots of curious questions, and, of course, countless eye-opening moments for visitors young and old.

Doors open – let the adventure begin and get ready to be amazed!
