Department of Traumatology and Orthopedics
Specialized in: traumatology, orthopedics About the Department of Traumatology and Orthopedics at Hospital Schwabing Munich
The Department of Traumatology and Orthopedics at the Hospital Schwabing Munich provides the full range of conservative and surgical treatment for patients with injuries and diseases of the musculoskeletal system of any severity. The department enjoys a status of a supraregional Trauma Center, and therefore it has all the necessary resources for high-quality medical care for injuries of any severity, including sports ones. In addition, the department is certified by the German Trauma Society as a Geriatric Trauma Centre. Should surgical treatment be required, the doctors will use innovative computer-assisted navigation surgical techniques to ensure maximum safety for their patients. The department admits more than 1,700 patients annually. The patients' health is in the good hands of a competent medical team consisting of 21 doctors and 30 nursing staff members. All medical services correspond to the current clinical protocols. The Chief Physician of the department is Dr. med. Stephan Gass.
The traumatologists working in the department have many years of clinical experience in the treatment of all types of injuries of the musculoskeletal system, ranging from injuries caused by accidents at work, injuries caused by road traffic accidents, sports injuries to injuries sustained during leisure time. The department can boast of a special competence in the field of trauma treatment in elderly patients. Whenever possible, preference is given to conservative treatment methods, but if the consequences of trauma require an invasive intervention, the patient can undergo the required surgical procedure.
The priority area of work of the department's medical team is hip, shoulder and elbow replacement surgery. The orthopedic surgeons specialize in partial and total joint replacement surgery, as well as successfully perform revision interventions to replace previously implanted endoprostheses. When performing such operations, the doctors use cutting-edge navigation systems to ensure the most accurate fixation of the endoprosthesis and, accordingly, effective restoration of mobility. The joint replacement surgery is performed using minimally invasive techniques, which contributes to the fastest postoperative recovery of the patient. In addition, the specialists use in their clinical practice only high-quality endoprostheses with a long service life.
The department's doctors quite often admit patients with spinal injuries for treatment. In most cases, when performing surgical procedures on the spine, neurosurgeons are also involved. Of particular interest for the department's doctors are open and minimally invasive operations on the spine to treat fractures, replace vertebral bodies, as well as perform kyphoplasty and vertebroplasty for osteoporotic fractures. An integral part of spinal surgery is the use of computer-assisted navigation systems that allow the surgeon to avoid damage to vital anatomical structures of the spine and spinal cord.

- Conservative and surgical treatment of injuries caused by accidents at work, injuries caused by road traffic accidents, sports injuries, injuries sustained during leisure time, injuries in lederly patients
