About the department
The Department of Adult and Pediatric Orthopedics, Trauma Surgery, Hand Surgery, Foot Surgery and Spinal Surgery at the Hospital Gummersbach Oberberg provides diagnostics and conservative and surgical treatment for the full range of diseases and injuries of the musculoskeletal system. The department specializes in joint replacement surgery, arthroscopic surgery, microsurgical interventions on the hand, spinal surgery, and conservative and surgical treatment of injuries to the bones, joints, and muscles. Patients of all age groups can receive medical care in the department. The medical facility performs more than 3,000 operations of varying complexity every year. As part of outpatient visits, the department's doctors serve over 15,000 patients per year. The specialists almost always use minimally traumatic surgical techniques to promote rapid recovery in the postoperative period. A large proportion of operations are performed on an outpatient basis without a mandatory hospital stay. The department has 125 beds. The basis for successful clinical practice is an advanced technical base, the use of effective and reliable treatment methods, and the highest professionalism of doctors and nursing staff. The excellent results of the work of the department's medical team are confirmed by prestigious quality certificates, in particular DIOcert, ClarCert, EndoCert, and others. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Christian Probst.
One of the key areas of work of the department's orthopedic team is knee, hip, shoulder, and ankle arthroplasty. The medical facility has been awarded the EndoCert quality certificate. This certificate is the most prestigious award for arthroplasty centers in Germany and it is awarded to the best clinics with high treatment success rates. In most cases, joint replacement surgery is performed using sparing minimally invasive techniques. The department was one of the first in Germany to practice arthroplasty using a navigation system in combination with the BrainLAB device. Innovative computer-assisted navigation allows surgeons to implant prostheses with millimeter precision, which largely determines treatment success. Before the operation, the doctor selects the optimal prosthesis for the patient, taking into account his or her anatomical features. The specialists work only with high-quality prostheses from leading manufacturers, the service life of which reaches 20 years or more.
The department enjoys the status of a regional Trauma Center, certified in accordance with the requirements of the German Trauma Society (DGU). The center provides both conservative and surgical treatment of injuries of any severity, from fractures of the upper and lower extremities to pelvic and spinal fractures, multiple injuries, and sports injuries. Uncomplicated fractures are treated conservatively with special splints, braces, and plaster casts. Physiotherapy is recommended after fracture consolidation. For the treatment of complicated fractures, the department performs an operation called osteosynthesis. The essence of the operation is the surgical connection of bone fragments for their proper fusion.
The department also provides services in the field of hand surgery. Therapeutic options include microsurgical procedures for injuries to the nerve endings and blood vessels of the hand, replantation surgery, surgery for rheumatic hand lesions, hand joint arthroplasty, correction of congenital and acquired hand defects, etc. Microvascular flaps are used to cover large soft tissue defects. The department's specialists are proud of their successful experience in the field of endoscopic treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome using the Agee technique.
In the field of foot surgery, the department offers both conservative and surgical treatment of almost all diseases on this spectrum: correction of hallux valgus, hallux rigidus, and hammertoes, treatment of ankle arthrosis, treatment of Morton's neuroma, reconstructive operations on the ligaments and tendons of the foot, operations for Achilles tendon ruptures, heel spurs, etc. The department uses modern surgical techniques to minimize trauma and quickly restore the patient's mobility after the operation.
Another important area of the department's clinical practice is spinal surgery. Surgical procedures of this kind are planned and performed in collaboration with neurosurgeons. The department's doctors most commonly treat fractures of the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine, including osteoporotic ones, spinal tumors and metastases, spinal canal stenosis, and herniated intervertebral discs. Conservative treatment is provided when clinically indicated. When surgery is the only option to eliminate spinal pathology, experts prefer minimally invasive, endoscopic, and microsurgical techniques.

- Orthopedics
