我們懷著沉痛的心情，悼念德國(guó)著名足踝外科專(zhuān)家、漢諾威醫(yī)學(xué)院附屬骨科醫(yī)院足踝外科主任Christina Stukenborg-Colsman教授的逝世。在3月24日至25日期間，Stukenborg-Colsman教授不幸與世長(zhǎng)辭，享年57歲。她的離去，不僅是德國(guó)足踝外科領(lǐng)域的重大損失，也讓我們失去了一位尊敬的友人與合作伙伴。Stukenborg-Colsman教授在德國(guó)足踝外科領(lǐng)域享有盛譽(yù)，憑借卓越的專(zhuān)業(yè)能力、前瞻性的學(xué)術(shù)視野和堅(jiān)定的臨床信念，引領(lǐng)漢諾威醫(yī)學(xué)院附屬骨科醫(yī)院發(fā)展成為德國(guó)北部頂尖的足踝外科中心。作為德國(guó)足踝協(xié)會(huì)（DAF）、歐洲足踝外科學(xué)會(huì)（EFAS）等重要學(xué)術(shù)組織的核心成員，她長(zhǎng)期投身學(xué)術(shù)交流與醫(yī)學(xué)科普，充分體現(xiàn)了專(zhuān)業(yè)素養(yǎng)與社會(huì)責(zé)任的融合。我們與Stukenborg-Colsman教授的緣分始于2020年3月。彼時(shí)，新冠疫情在全球肆虐，中德足踝外科線(xiàn)下交流面臨重重困難。然而，盡管形勢(shì)嚴(yán)峻，她依然與中國(guó)同行保持密切聯(lián)系，積極參與多場(chǎng)中德足踝外科視頻會(huì)議，展現(xiàn)出一貫的專(zhuān)業(yè)精神與真誠(chéng)合作的態(tài)度。2023年9月，Stukenborg-Colsman教授首次通過(guò)仁醫(yī)醫(yī)療來(lái)華，在佛山市中醫(yī)院擔(dān)任了一周客座教授，給予了當(dāng)?shù)毓强茍F(tuán)隊(duì)寶貴指導(dǎo)。隨后，她出席了“第三屆中歐醫(yī)院管理學(xué)科建設(shè)人才培養(yǎng)全球論壇”，分享了對(duì)人才培養(yǎng)的深刻見(jiàn)解。會(huì)中，她尤其關(guān)心女性外科醫(yī)師的成長(zhǎng)，給她們帶來(lái)了溫暖與力量。在多年的合作中，Stukenborg-Colsman教授以淵博的專(zhuān)業(yè)知識(shí)、豐富的臨床經(jīng)驗(yàn)以及沉靜堅(jiān)定的力量給我們留下了深刻印象。她始終謙遜、熱忱、從容，耐心傾聽(tīng)他人意見(jiàn)，關(guān)心年輕醫(yī)生的成長(zhǎng)。她醫(yī)術(shù)精湛、醫(yī)德高尚，始終將患者利益放在首位，并積極承擔(dān)育人成才的責(zé)任。同時(shí)，她也重視家庭，平衡事業(yè)與生活，展現(xiàn)了一位現(xiàn)代女性醫(yī)學(xué)家的堅(jiān)定與溫柔。在此，我們向Stukenborg-Colsman教授的親朋好友致以最誠(chéng)摯慰問(wèn)。斯人已逝，但她留下的寶貴學(xué)術(shù)遺產(chǎn)和不朽的精神力量，將永遠(yuǎn)激勵(lì)著年輕一代醫(yī)生，繼續(xù)推動(dòng)骨科領(lǐng)域的交流與發(fā)展。Christina Stukenborg-Colsman教授千古。仁醫(yī)醫(yī)療謹(jǐn)致沉痛哀悼。

Prof. Stukenborg-Colsman was highly esteemed in German foot and ankle surgery community. Through her exceptional expertise, forward-looking academic vision, and steadfast clinical dedication, she had guided the Department of Foot and Ankle Surgery to emerge as a leading foot and ankle surgery center in northern Germany. As a core member of key academic organizations like the German Association for Foot and Ankle (DAF) and the European Society for Foot and Ankle Surgery (EFAS), she devoted herself to academic exchange and medical education, perfectly embodying the integration of professional competence and social responsibility. Our cooperation with Prof. Stukenborg-Colsman began in March 2020.At that time, the COVID-19 pandemic was ravaging the world, and offline exchanges between Chinese and German foot and ankle surgeons faced significant challenges. However, despite the dire situation, she maintained close contact with Chinese colleagues and actively participated in many Sino-German webinars on foot and ankle surgery, demonstrating her consistent professionalism and sincerity for collaboration. In September 2023, Prof. Stukenborg-Colsman joined Gloryren’s visiting professorship program for the first time and visited Foshan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, where she provided invaluable guidance to the host team. She also attended the The 3rd Sino-Euro Global Forum on Hospital Management, specialty Construction & Talent Cultivation where she shared profound insights on talent training. During the event, she showed particular concern for the growth of female surgeons, inspiring them with warmth and strength. Over the years of cooperation, Prof. Stukenborg-Colsman left us with a deep impression through her vast professional knowledge, rich clinical experience, and calm, steadfast demeanor. She was always humble, passionate, and composed, patiently listening to others’ opinions and caring for the growth of young doctors. With exceptional clinical expertise and exemplary professional ethics, she consistently prioritized the well-being of the patients and was deeply committed to nurturing future medical talents. Meanwhile, she valued family and maintained a balance between career and personal life, showing the strength and tenderness of a modern woman in medicine. At this time, we extend our deepest condolences to Prof. Stukenborg-Colsman’s family, friends, and colleagues. Though she has passed, her invaluable academic legacy and enduring spirit will continue to inspire the next generations of doctors and drive the exchange and development of the orthopedics field.
