About the department
The Department of Orthopedics, Foot Surgery and Hand Surgery at the ATOS Fleetinsel Clinic Hamburg provides highly accurate diagnosis and effective treatment of a wide range of musculoskeletal diseases. Of particular clinical interest to the department's specialists is the treatment of shoulder and elbow disorders. Therapeutic options also include the treatment of hip, knee, and ankle pathologies, as well as foot and hand diseases. The department offers both conservative and surgical treatment, with surgery being the last-line treatment. The department's orthopedists prefer sparing surgery. Therefore, they mainly work with arthroscopic, endoscopic, and minimally invasive techniques. The operation is preceded by personal consultations, during which the patient is informed in detail about possible treatment options and predicted results. The high professionalism of the doctors deserves special attention because the department employs some of the best orthopedists in the country, which is confirmed by the ratings of the Focus magazine and certificates from the German Society for Orthopedics and Trauma Surgery (DGOU), the German Society for Shoulder and Elbow Surgery (DVSE), and other societies. The department enjoys the status of one of the leading centers in Germany for the treatment of orthopedic diseases. It has all the medical and technical resources available to provide high-quality medical services.
The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Jörn Kircher, an experienced orthopedist with excellent qualifications in shoulder and elbow surgery. He has more than 20 years of successful clinical practice. According to the Focus magazine, the doctor is one of the best specialists for shoulder and elbow surgery in all of Germany. In addition, Prof. Jörn Kircher received the highest rating among doctors in his specialty in Hamburg based on patient reviews on the online portal Jameda.
The department's primary area of specialization is the treatment of shoulder and elbow diseases. It should be noted that there are only a few medical institutions in Europe with such a narrow specialization. The department's orthopedists regularly treat patients with shoulder impingement syndrome, shoulder arthrosis, rotator cuff tears, shoulder dislocations, frozen shoulder, shoulder injuries, and other pathologies. The most common shoulder disease is impingement syndrome, a pathological condition that develops against the background of pinching of the soft tissue between the humeral head and the acromion process of the scapula. The main symptom of the disease is severe pain that intensifies when moving the shoulder. At the diagnostic stage, the department's doctors study the patient's medical history, conduct a physical examination, and perform imaging tests (X-ray, MRI, or ultrasound). Treatment is prescribed on an individual basis. Whenever possible, specialists use only conservative therapy. They may prescribe painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs, physiotherapy, therapeutic exercises, cryotherapy, and electrotherapy. If a good result cannot be achieved with the above methods, doctors may consider surgery. Shoulder impingement surgery is performed in the department using arthroscopic techniques. The operation takes about 1 hour.
The department's team of orthopedists has extensive experience in the treatment of shoulder arthrosis (omarthrosis), in which the destruction of articular cartilage and adjacent bone tissue occurs. As the pathology progresses, pain in the shoulder intensifies and motor restrictions worsen, up to a complete loss of joint mobility. At the diagnostic stage, it is important for the department's doctors to analyze the patient's complaints and conduct imaging tests such as X-ray, ultrasound, and/or MRI. Treatment tactics for the early stages of shoulder arthrosis include conservative methods such as drug therapy to relieve pain, therapeutic exercises, physiotherapy, and heat therapy. In the advanced stages of the pathological process, intra-articular injections of autologous platelet-rich plasma or hyaluronic acid may be required. When the final stage of omarthrosis is diagnosed, the only treatment option is shoulder replacement surgery. The department's specialists perform these surgeries on a regular basis, so they have exceptional experience in this area and achieve excellent results. The surgeons work with high-quality modular prostheses that can be easily adapted to the anatomical characteristics of the patient's shoulder joint. The lifespan of an artificial joint is 10-15 years. The surgical procedure takes 1-2 hours.
The medical facility successfully treats knee diseases. Patients with knee arthrosis, articular cartilage lesions, patellar dislocations, meniscus tears, and torn cruciate ligaments can seek medical attention here. Whenever possible, conservative treatment is preferred, with surgery being the last-line treatment. The department's orthopedists work with minimally invasive and arthroscopic techniques, which significantly shorten the postoperative recovery period.
The department's therapeutic options are complemented by the treatment of foot and hand pathologies. In the field of foot surgery, the medical facility offers conservative and surgical treatment of hallux valgus, hallux rigidus, Achilles tendon ruptures, heel spurs, clubfoot, flat feet, and ankle arthrosis. Hand surgeons are responsible for the treatment of wrist arthrosis, rhizarthrosis, trigger fingers, Dupuytren's contracture, and carpal tunnel syndrome. Each patient benefits from a personalized treatment regimen tailored to his or her needs and wishes. If clinically indicated, specialists strive to carry out conservative treatment without resorting to surgery. When surgery cannot be avoided, it is performed using minimally invasive techniques.
