About the department
The Department of Adult and Pediatric Orthopedics, Foot Surgery and Hand Surgery at the ATOS Clinic Heidelberg offers the full range of medical services in its areas of specialization. The primary clinical interest for the department's doctors is the treatment of diseases of the hip, knee, shoulder, elbow, and ankle joints. Patients with pathologies and deformities of the foot and hand can also receive medical care in the department. Specialists treat patients of all age groups, ranging from young children to the elderly. The department has all the necessary resources for conservative and surgical treatment. Conservative measures are used as the first-line treatment. These include exercise therapy, physiotherapy, massage, drug therapy, intra-articular injections, etc. Surgery for orthopedic diseases are performed only in complex clinical cases because many of them respond well to conservative treatment in the early stages. Surgical procedures are performed in advanced operating rooms using sparing arthroscopic, microsurgical, and minimally invasive techniques. According to the magazine Focus, the medical facility is one of the best orthopedic centers in Germany, specializing in large joint surgery, foot surgery, and hand surgery. The Head Physician of the department is Prof. Dr. med. Hajo Thermann.
Patients with arthrosis seek medical attention from the department almost every day. This chronic disease causes gradual deterioration of the cartilage lining of the joint, resulting in pain and limited mobility. The department's team of orthopedists specializes in the treatment of hip, knee, shoulder, elbow, ankle, and wrist arthrosis. Hip and knee arthrosis are the most common. The department's doctors have at their disposal many effective conservative treatments to slow down joint degeneration, eliminate pain, and improve mobility. The department's specialists develop an optimal treatment regimen for the patient, taking into account the stage of arthrosis, age, general health condition, and other factors. Each patient is prescribed an individually developed drug treatment regimen to relieve pain and a set of exercises and physiotherapeutic procedures. Orthopedists in the department also successfully carry out innovative treatments for hip and knee arthrosis using intra-articular injections of autologous conditioned plasma, hyaluronic acid, and orthokine. This method stimulates the regeneration of the cartilage lining of the joint. In the advanced stages of arthrosis, conservative treatment may fail. In such cases, the department's doctors recommend joint replacement surgery. Such surgical procedures are performed here using minimally invasive techniques that preserve the integrity of the muscular system. The department's orthopedists work exclusively with high-quality prostheses that can last 20 years or more.
The department's therapeutic options also include the treatment of other hip and knee diseases, such as hip impingement, femoral head avascular necrosis, hip dysplasia, patellar dislocation, meniscus tears, cruciate ligament tears, etc. The above pathologies cause severe pain and limited mobility. In many cases, the department's doctors resort to conservative treatment. The patient is prescribed therapeutic exercises, physiotherapy, drug therapy, wearing orthoses, electrotherapy, and other procedures. Complex clinical cases require surgical treatment. The operations are performed using minimally traumatic arthroscopic techniques: two 5-6 mm incisions are made in the area of the affected joint, through which an arthroscope (a special thin and long instrument) with a built-in miniature camera is inserted. The camera transmits images of the surgical field to the monitor in real time with multiple zooms, allowing the surgeon to clearly see the smallest anatomical structures of the joint and perform the necessary therapeutic manipulations. Depending on the severity of the clinical case, the duration of the arthroscopic procedure is 30-90 minutes. These procedures leave no scarring, and patients are back on their feet the same day.
An integral part of the work of the department's orthopedists is the treatment of shoulder pathologies. Our specialists have been caring for patients with shoulder impingement syndrome, shoulder arthrosis, rotator cuff tears, shoulder dislocations, frozen shoulder, and shoulder injuries for over 20 years. Few medical centers can boast such extensive experience in this area. Shoulder impingement syndrome is one of the most common causes of shoulder pain. The pathology results from an improper collision of the acromioclavicular joint and the humeral head. The department offers both conservative and surgical methods for the treatment of impingement syndrome. Whenever possible, doctors carry out comprehensive conservative treatment that includes injection therapy with painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs, physiotherapy, electrotherapy, and cryotherapy. If, based on the results of preliminary diagnostics, the patient requires surgery, the department's physicians perform a minimally invasive arthroscopic surgery that lasts 30-60 minutes.
The department also enjoys a reputation as one of the best medical institutions for the treatment of hand diseases. Patients with wrist arthrosis, rhizarthrosis, carpal tunnel syndrome, Dupuytren's contracture, and trigger fingers can be treated here. The treatment for wrist arthrosis in the department includes drug therapy, manual therapy, ultrasound therapy, laser therapy, and electrophoresis. The last-line treatment is surgery. Therapy for rhizarthrosis also begins with conservative measures. For example, the patient is prescribed cryotherapy, electrotherapy, intra-articular injections of hyaluronic acid or corticosteroids, or immobilization of the thumb with splints. In the advanced stages of the pathological process, the department's specialists recommend surgical procedures, such as denervation of the first carpometacarpal joint, resection arthroplasty, or arthrodesis. The optimal type of surgical intervention is determined individually.
