Who is this event aimed at?

“All doctors and physiotherapists working in clinical practice are familiar with patients who, following knee surgery, do not achieve the hoped-for positive treatment outcome and, despite intensive therapy, complain of increasing pain and functional deficits. A large proportion of these patients develop arthrofibrosis, which is reported in the literature to occur in 5–10 per cent of cases. […]

Over the past 10 years, a conservative treatment approach has been developed in collaboration with the Institute for Laboratory and Transfusion Centre at the Heart and Diabetes Centre in Bad Qeynhausen, drawing on this institute’s research into fibrosis, which now spans over 25 years. We have applied these research findings to orthopaedics and trauma surgery, which suggests that a change in therapeutic approach and surgical procedures is warranted. “The integration of biological cell regulation therapy (BCR therapy) has enabled us to complete the treatment of arthrofibrosis!” (Dr Traut, 2018)
