About the department
According to the prestigious Focus magazine, the Department of Adult and Pediatric Orthopedics at the Hannover Medical School ranks among the top German medical facilities in the area of its specialization!
The department provides highly effective treatment for the full spectrum of musculoskeletal diseases in patients of all age groups, including children. The medical facility is one of the largest and the most prestigious Orthopedic Centers in Germany. Here the patients can get top-class medical care in the following areas: spinal surgery, joint replacement surgery and reconstructive surgery, correction of musculoskeletal deformities, treatment of foot diseases, pediatric orthopedics and neuro-orthopedics. More than 40,000 patients undergo treatment in the department annually. Thanks to the high competence of doctors and the use of advanced conservative treatment methods, many patients, including those with complex clinical cases, manage to avoid surgery. If the patient requires surgery, the department's surgeons most often resort to minimally invasive techniques. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Henning Windhagen.
The department has unique experience in joint replacement surgery. The high quality of medical care in the department is confirmed by the certification as the Maximum Care Endoprosthetics Center. During the operation, special attention is paid to the careful treatment of muscles and tendons. The department uses the most sparing surgical techniques, which are safe for the patient and guarantee minimal blood loss. The most popular operations in this area are knee and hip replacement surgeries. As of today, the department performs such operations using minimally invasive techniques, which involve surgical access through several small incisions. When performing the surgical procedure, the surgeon can see the image of the operating field on a large screen, in multiple zoom. The implantation of an artificial joint is performed under the guidance of progressive navigation systems. Such an approach allows the doctors to guarantee the most accurate positioning of the prosthesis, which determines the success of the operation. The service range in the field of joint replacement surgery also includes revision interventions to replace previously implanted prostheses. The operations of this kind are considered particularly difficult, but the department's specialists successfully cope with them.
The department is also an advanced center for conservative and surgical treatment of spinal diseases. Conservative treatment involves the use of all options to avoid surgery: drug therapy, physiotherapeutic procedures (for example, massage, electrotherapy), therapeutic exercises, treatment with modern corsets, etc. If conservative therapeutic methods do not give positive results, specialists consider the possibility of surgical treatment. The department uses the full range of modern surgical procedures, including stabilizing surgery in case of prolapse or displacement of intervertebral discs, surgery to replace intervertebral discs, surgery for spinal stenosis, spinal fractures, as well as surgery for severe forms of scoliosis and kyphosis. Most spinal surgeries are performed using minimally invasive techniques. In addition, the department's operating rooms are equipped with advanced surgical microscopes, neuromonitoring systems and other devices, which allow surgeons to carry out not only effective, but also the safest surgical treatment of spinal diseases.
Children with musculoskeletal diseases are treated by a specially trained team of orthopedists with extensive clinical experience. At the stage of treatment regimen planning, the specialists take into account not only the diagnosis and general condition of the child, but also his age, as well as the peculiarities of the development of the child's body at this age. The team of pediatric orthopedists treats more than 3,500 young outpatients every year. In addition, the department annually performs more than 800 operations for orthopedic and neuro-orthopedic diseases in children and adolescents. In especially complex clinical cases, specialists from partner clinics are involved (for example, from the Child Care Center Bremen, the Werner Otto Institut Hamburg).
