Abstract

The national achievements of the orthopaedic school of Germany became international in the second part of the 19th century, and from 1860 through 1914 its educational system attracted many physicians and surgeons from all over the world. During this period of 50 years, German surgeons asserted their dominance in orthopaedic surgery, particularly with four famous surgeons: Richard von Volkmann, Julius Wolff, Albert Hoffa, and Friedrich Trendelenburg. They held annual meetings, during which papers were read and discussed. We also present contributions to orthopaedic sciences of the other German authors during 19th century according to different cities.

Keywords: Albert Hoffa; Friedrich Trendelenburg; History of German orthopaedic surgery; Julius Wolff; Military surgery; Orthopaedic surgery in the 19th century; Richard von Volkmann
