About the department
The Department of Adult and Pediatric Orthopedics, Foot Surgery at the Beta Clinic Bonn ranks among the best German medical facilities specializing in hip surgery!
The department treats the full range of musculoskeletal diseases in adults and children. Special attention is paid in the medical facility to the treatment of pathologies of large joints, foot diseases and deformities, and congenital malformations of the musculoskeletal system in children. The department has comprehensive treatment programs for chronic back pain. In addition, stem cell injections are successfully performed here for treating knee and hip arthrosis. The department has an innovative AutoCart technique for cartilage cell transplantation and restoration of cartilage tissue in patients with joint degeneration. Interventional and surgical treatment is complemented by well-chosen conservative therapy, including therapeutic exercises, manual medicine, acupuncture, magnetotherapy, shock wave therapy, and other techniques. The department has advanced equipment adapted for the treatment of orthopedic diseases of any complexity in adults and children. The experience and professional skills of the doctors deserve special attention because, according to ratings based on patient reviews on the Jameda website, the department's three leading doctors enjoy the status of the best orthopedists in Bonn. The department is headed by Dr. med. Peter Braun.
Arthrosis of large joints is one of the most common diseases in orthopedics. The department therefore offers all the options of conservative and surgical treatment for knee, hip, and shoulder arthrosis. At the same time, a special focus is on partial and total joint replacement surgery. Arthroplasty is a surgical intervention to replace a damaged or worn joint with an artificial one. Dr. Braun, the Head Physician of the department, has been performing joint arthroplasty procedures for many years. He can thus successfully select the optimal solution for each patient, taking into account his individual needs. Joint replacement surgery is carried out using minimally invasive techniques, so a hospital stay is relatively short, namely, 5-8 days. In addition, low-traumatic techniques contribute to a lesser severity of pain in the postoperative period. In the course of minimally invasive joint replacement surgery, the department's surgeons manage to maintain the integrity of the muscular and ligamentous apparatus, which ensures the high stability of the prosthesis and a physiological range of motion. It is important for the department's orthopedists to ensure good engraftment of the artificial joint, so they use prostheses from the world's leading manufacturers made of reliable materials (for example, cobalt-chromium or titanium alloys, polymers, ceramics). These materials have excellent compatibility with the human body and a long service life. Following joint replacement surgery, the department offers patients professional rehabilitation, which lasts 2-3 weeks.
The department's doctors keep pace with innovations in medicine, so they offer an advanced treatment method for knee and hip arthrosis using the patient's own stem cells obtained from adipose tissue. In some cases, the method can also be used to treat shoulder and ankle joints. Doctors harvest stem cells, after which they make a stromal-vascular fraction (cellular concentrate). The specialist then administers the obtained biological material into the affected joint by injection, after which the joint tissues begin to regenerate. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia on an outpatient basis. The duration of the procedure is 60-90 minutes. More than 150 patients have already been treated in the department with this method and have received impressive results, including significant pain relief and improved mobility. In some clinical cases, a stem cell transplant can be an excellent alternative to joint replacement surgery.
Another unique offer in the department is the AutoCart procedure, which involves cartilage cell transplantation to restore cartilage. This procedure improves joint function. The AutoCart procedure is quite simple and safe. It consists of two stages: the harvesting of cartilage cells (an arthroscopic technique) and their follow-up transplantation into the affected joint. The AutoCart procedure is highly effective. It slows down degenerative processes in the joint, eliminates pain, and improves mobility.
The department also treats children with orthopedic diseases. Young patients are treated in close cooperation with pediatricians and radiologists. The department's specialists provide medical care to children with hip dysplasia, clubfoot, X- and O-shaped lower limb deformities, unequal leg length, flat feet, scoliosis, and other pathologies. Whenever possible, conservative treatment is carried out. If an operation is unavoidable, the department's specialists strive to perform it using minimally invasive techniques. The department's doctors surround young patients with care and strive to win their trust because it is very important to them that the children feel comfortable and do not experience any fears during the treatment.

About hospital
The Beta Clinic Bonn is a modern private healthcare facility with 20 specialized departments. In addition, the clinic cooperates with 30 independent doctors of various specializations, most of whom have their own private practices. The doors of the clinic first opened for patients in 2008. Since that time, the medical facility has expanded significantly and achieved outstanding success. It harmoniously combines state-of-the-art equipment, high levels of competence among doctors, and comfortable infrastructure. All these possibilities make it possible to provide patients with high-quality medical care in accordance with modern European standards. The work of the medical team at the clinic is based on the following principle: "Our task is to take care of the health of patients." The clinic provides comprehensive treatment, taking into account the individual needs and wishes of each patient.
The hospital has an excellent diagnostic base: rooms for instrumental diagnostics, imaging tests, and endoscopic procedures. The medical complex also has in-house laboratories with advanced equipment. The clinic's doctors have the opportunity to perform comprehensive diagnostics in the shortest possible time and detect the slightest pathological changes in the work and structure of the internal organs. When considering the diagnostic results in complex clinical cases, physicians from related specialties are often involved in the process so that all important aspects are taken into account when developing a treatment regimen for a patient.
The therapeutic options at the clinic are quite diverse. At the same time, doctors always strive to keep pace with innovations, carrying out treatment using the most modern and sparing techniques. The operating rooms at the clinic have advanced computer equipment, navigation devices, monitoring systems, surgical microscopes, special tools, and equipment for laparoscopic and endoscopic interventions, as well as laser systems. The clinic also has an in-house Rehabilitation Center, where patients undergo physiotherapy and therapeutic exercises.
The clinic is expanding more and more every year. Innovative developments in diagnostics and treatment are immediately introduced here. It is worth noting that the clinic is a pioneer in Germany in advanced laser treatment for epilepsy. The therapy was implemented into clinical practice in 2019 and has been successfully applied here since then.
