He is a member of the SOFCOT (French Society of Orthopaedic and Traumatology), SOFEC (Shoulder and Elbow French Society) and SFA ( French Society of Arthroscopy).

For a long time sensitive to environmental issues, he is co-founder with 4 other French colleagues of the Green Shoulder Circle, seeking to raise awareness in the surgical community as well as with industrial partners of the need to reconsider the carbon impact of our care activities, particularly in the operating theatre.

Maarten de Vos is an orthopaedic surgeon at Tergooi hospitals, specialised in upper extremities. In 2017, I initiated the centre for shoulder and elbow surgery at Tergooi hospitals, and with my colleagues we jointly recruited a dedicated team of clinicians and surgical research fellows.

Before I joined Tergooi hospitals I worked for 13 years at Sint Maartens kliniek as Head of Unit for upper extremities, where I started a visiting centre inviting surgeons from abroad and other Dutch hospitals to attend and observe specific specialist procedures, allowing for the sharing of knowledge and expertise that my team and I were responsible for.

I received my doctorate on 28 April 2016. My thesis titled ‘Total elbow arthroplasty, a historical and contemporary perspective’, encompasses the historical elbow surgery in Holland (Nederpelt prosthetics) and the analysis of usage and outcomes of the KUDO and iBP prosthetics leading to the Latitude elbow procedures for revisions and primary surgery.
