The Department of Sports Orthopedics at the Asklepios Hospital for Sports Injuries St. Wolfgang offers conservative and surgical treatment of all joint and spinal diseases and injuries. Both traditional and the very latest modern surgical methods are available for treatment, especially minimally invasive surgery. In addition, with appropriate medical indications, the department provides inpatient rehabilitation treatment. The Chief Physician of the department is Prof. Dr. med. Peter Angele.
Prof. Angele is a recognized expert in the field of sports orthopedics, in particular, regenerative joint surgery. He specializes in the treatment of arthrosis, cartilage lesions of joints and meniscuses, correction of congenital and acquired axial deviations, knee joint reconstruction, etc. In 2018, Prof. Dr. Angele once again was included in the rating of the top specialists in sports medicine, according to the FOCUS magazine. He has also received a recommendation from this prestigious journal. Thus, he is one of the most recommended specialists in Germany.
The department’s service range includes the diagnosis and treatment of the following diseases and injuries:
Based on the results of primary diagnosis, the qualified orthopedists and surgeons of the department develop an accurate scheme for further treatment. The department offers the entire therapeutic spectrum. In case of less severe pathologies, it is often enough to use therapeutic gymnastics and physiotherapy procedures, which may be supplemented by elements of traditional Chinese medicine (moxotherapy, acupuncture, vacuum therapy, etc.) and homeopathy.
If the patient should undergo surgical treatment, there are two modern operating rooms available to surgeons of the department. The operating rooms are equipped with the latest technology, for example, there is neuronavigation, three-dimensional X-ray diagnostics and a mobile X-ray machine, a laser and first-class devices for artificial ventilation. One of the specialization areas of the department is ligament surgery, with a special focus on the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries. Thanks to surgeries performed in the department, many football and hockey players of the German and Russian leagues have managed to return to their previous level. In addition, the department has in its arsenal all options for the surgical reconstruction of the cartilaginous tissue, up to cartilage transplantation. In a number of cases, such surgeries are accompanied by a surgical correction of the limb axis.
Another important department’s focus is endoprosthetics. The experienced orthopedists and surgeons of the department accompany patients from the moment of surgery to discharge from the clinic and postoperative rehabilitation. Treatment is provided in cooperation with the surgeon who performs an operation for the patient and a therapist responsible for further treatment. All surgical interventions are performed by highly specialized surgeons, who enjoy international recognition.
Another key focus is spinal surgery. The specialized Spine Center successfully treats acute and chronic pain syndromes associated with the spine. It conducts facet joint and nerve root infiltration, as well as optic-guided sympathetic blockade. Due to the wide treatment options and the full range of physiotherapeutic procedures, pain syndrome may be rapidly reduced or completely stopped, and the patient will have a long-term remission.
Finally, the department also specializes in the subsequent rehabilitation and health restoration. The team of the department offers the optimal treatment of functional disorders after illness, injury or accident, which starts in the early postoperative period. In particular, the service range of the department includes osteopathy and craniosacral therapy.
