On the afternoon of June 23, the "Yan Bei Fei" International Academic Lecture (Sixth Session), jointly organized by the Department of Scientific Research and the Orthopedic Medicine Center of The Second Norman Bethune Hospital of Jilin University, was held at the Yatai Campus. The event featured Professor Yan Li, an internationally renowned orthopedic expert from the Department of Orthopedic Trauma at Karolinska Institutet, Sweden, who was invited to deliver a lecture and engage in academic exchanges. The activity was presided over by Liu He, Director of the Department of Scientific Research of The Second Norman Bethune Hospital of Jilin University.
Professor Li Yan delivered an outstanding academic lecture on the forefront of the Swedish Karolinska Institute's healthcare system, orthopedic trauma treatment, and osseointegration reconstruction. He systematically introduced the history of the world-renowned Karolinska Institute, its rigorous physician training system, and shared his personal insights. Professor Li also highlighted the advanced concepts and practical experiences of Karolinska University Hospital in treating complex limb fractures, establishing a 24-hour fast-track pathway for geriatric hip fractures, and managing orthopedic trauma in critically injured patients.
Focusing on cutting-edge osseointegration technology at the intersection of orthopedics and oral rehabilitation, he provided an insightful overview of the development and current state of implantable prosthetics and dental implant technology, while also discussing future trends. Professor Li particularly shared his breakthrough clinical strategies in osseointegration-based limb reconstruction after amputation, systematically conveying the core concepts and key techniques of osseointegration amputation reconstruction. His presentation broadened the audience’s perspectives with innovative treatment ideas from an international viewpoint.
Professor Li Yan's前沿 insights on osseointegration reconstruction sparked keen interest and lively discussion among the attending experts. During the interactive session, orthopedic specialists and young physicians from the hospital actively raised questions, engaging in in-depth discussions with Professor Li on key issues such as the clinical application details of osseointegration technology, selection of indications, long-term outcome evaluation, and future research directions. Professor Li responded to each query with enthusiasm and meticulousness, earning high praise from the audience for his profound academic expertise and rigorous scholarly attitude.
Director Li Minghe of the Department of Stomatology, drawing on his extensive clinical experience with dental implants, held a constructive professional dialogue with Professor Li Yan regarding the potential applications of osseointegration technology in oral and maxillofacial rehabilitation, sparking interdisciplinary collaboration. Professor Wang Jincheng delivered the concluding remarks, highly commending the academic value and cutting-edge nature of Professor Li Yan's lecture and thanking him for bringing the latest international orthopedic concepts and technologies to The Second Norman Bethune Hospital of Jilin University. He particularly emphasized that osseointegration technology represents an important发展方向 in limb functional reconstruction, holding significant clinical value and research potential. He encouraged joint efforts to explore innovations and strive for breakthrough progress in this field to benefit a broader patient population.
Professor Li Yan also conducted an inspection of the clinical scale, diagnostic and treatment processes, and specialized technologies in the orthopedic medical center ward of The Second Norman Bethune Hospital of Jilin University. Professor Wang Jincheng led Professor Li Yan on a tour of the Jilin Provincial Orthopedic Research Institute, providing a detailed introduction to the institute’s key research directions and scientific achievements in recent years. The two sides engaged in in-depth discussions on cutting-edge topics, such as utilizing 3D printing technology to optimize the design of osseointegrated prostheses, developing novel biomaterials, and exploring the potential application of Northeast China’s unique antler resources in promoting osseointegration and accelerating bone repair. These exchanges laid the groundwork for potential collaborative research in the future.
This academic exchange activity not only provided medical staff at The Second Norman Bethune Hospital of Jilin University with a valuable platform to learn about internationally leading orthopedic concepts and technologies, but also effectively enhanced mutual understanding and connections between the hospital and internationally renowned medical institutions. It laid a solid foundation for both sides to further deepen joint research on osseointegration technology, accelerate the clinical translation of innovative achievements, and develop better solutions for patients with complex bone trauma and defects.
