Department of Orthopedics, Foot Surgery, Hand Surgery and Spinal Surgery
Specialized in: orthopedics, foot surgery, hand surgery, spinal surgery About the Department of Orthopedics, Foot Surgery, Hand Surgery and Spinal Surgery at ATOS Clinic Munich
According to the prestigious medical magazine Focus, the Department of Orthopedics, Foot Surgery, Hand Surgery and Spinal Surgery at the ATOS Clinic Munich is one of the best medical facilities in Germany, specializing in shoulder and knee surgery, foot surgery, and hand surgery!
The department offers a full range of medical services for diseases of the musculoskeletal system. The key focus of the department's doctors is the treatment of diseases of the large joints: knee, hip, shoulder, elbow, ankle, and wrist. Foot surgery specialists are responsible for the correction of hallux valgus, hallux rigidus, clubfoot, flatfoot, and claw toes, as well as the treatment of ankle arthrosis, heel spurs, and Achilles tendon ruptures. The department regularly admits patients with hand diseases, with particular interest in the treatment of wrist arthrosis, rhizarthrosis, carpal tunnel syndrome, and Dupuytren's contracture. The therapeutic offer is complemented by conservative and surgical treatment of spinal diseases such as herniated discs, spinal canal stenosis, vertebral fractures, and others. The department's medical team offers patients effective conservative treatment methods. However, when surgery is required, arthroscopic and minimally invasive techniques are preferred to ensure the fastest possible postoperative recovery and a high level of safety.
The Head Physician of the department is Prof. Dr. med. Mark Tauber. Of particular clinical interest to the specialist is shoulder surgery: primary and revision shoulder arthroplasty and arthroscopic procedures on the shoulder joint. Prof. Tauber is recognized as one of Germany's top experts in shoulder surgery according to the Focus magazine.
The department has unique expertise in the treatment of shoulder pathologies. The physicians in this area focus on patients with shoulder impingement, shoulder arthrosis, rotator cuff tears, shoulder dislocations, frozen shoulder, and lateral epicondylitis. The team of specialists consists of three highly qualified doctors, each of whom is ranked among the best experts in their field of expertise in Germany (Focus and Stern certificates). The most common shoulder pathology is impingement syndrome. In this condition, the head of the humerus hits the acromial process of the shoulder blade improperly, causing severe pain (especially when raising the arm) and stiffness of the shoulder, up to complete loss of mobility. Diagnosis includes clinical examination with assessment of shoulder range of motion, X-rays, sonography, and magnetic resonance imaging. As for the treatment, it is mostly conservative: doctors prescribe painkillers and local injections of analgesics, physiotherapy, cryotherapy, electrotherapy, and other procedures. The course of conservative treatment lasts 3-4 months. In the advanced stages of shoulder impingement, conservative treatment is ineffective, so the doctors of the department prefer to perform surgery. The operation is performed using minimally traumatic arthroscopic techniques and takes 30-60 minutes, depending on the severity of the clinical case.
The medical facility also provides top-class medical services to patients with knee diseases. The department diagnoses and treats knee arthrosis (gonarthrosis), cruciate ligament ruptures, meniscus tears, patellar dislocations, and knee cartilage lesions. The main diagnostic methods for the above conditions are imaging tests such as X-ray scanning, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging. In complex cases, an arthroscopic examination may be required, which allows for a direct visual assessment of the condition of the cartilage tissue and other structures of the knee joint. Therapeutic options in this area include both conservative and surgical treatments. The basis of conservative therapy is the use of analgesics, intra-articular injections, physiotherapy, and other effective methods. In complex cases, surgery may be necessary. Knee surgery is performed in the department using arthroscopic techniques. The pathological focus is approached through 2 punctures up to 5 mm in size, through which a miniature video camera and instruments for surgical manipulations are inserted into the joint.
The department also offers an innovative procedure for transplanting cartilage cells (autologous chondrocyte implantation), which is indicated for patients with minor cartilage lesions. The treatment consists of the following three stages: the patient's chondrocytes are harvested arthroscopically, processed and cultured in the laboratory, and the biological material obtained is injected into the affected areas of the knee joint cartilage during a repeat arthroscopic procedure. After autologous chondrocyte implantation, knee pain disappears and the progression of arthrosis slows down, making it possible to postpone or avoid joint replacement surgery.
An integral part of the department's daily clinical practice is the treatment of foot disorders. The medical team specializes in the treatment of hallux valgus, hallux rigidus, clubfoot, flatfoot, claw toes, ankle arthrosis, heel spurs, Achilles tendon ruptures, and other pathologies. The department's physicians offer a variety of effective surgical procedures for the treatment of hallux valgus and hallux rigidus, including cheilectomy, osteotomy, and arthrodesis. These surgical procedures are performed using sparing minimally invasive surgical techniques. The department also often admits patients with heel spurs. The majority of cases are managed conservatively with physiotherapy and injections of autologous conditioned plasma, hyaluronic acid, Botox, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
