It was founded on July 8, 2008 in the Langenbeck-Virchow-Haus in Berlin by the board members of the German Society for Orthopedics and Orthopedic Surgery (DGOOC) and the German Society for Trauma Surgery (DGU). This was preceded by a rapprochement between the two specialist societies since the mid-1990s and the development of joint training regulations for specialists in orthopedics and trauma surgery , which were introduced in all German state medical associations from 2003 .
The then President of the DGOOC Joachim Grifka from Regensburg was elected as the first President , his deputy became the incumbent President of the DGU Axel Ekkernkamp from Greifswald / Berlin. The annual general meetings take place at the same time as the German Congress for Orthopedics and Trauma Surgery in October in Berlin.
