About the department
The Department of Adult and Pediatric Orthopedics, Traumatology and Hand Surgery at the HELIOS Clinic Krefeld offers the full spectrum in these medical focuses. The department specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of all diseases of the musculoskeletal system in adults and children, trauma of any severity, including sports injuries, endoprosthetics, hand and foot surgery. The goal of the department's specialists is to effectively treat and restore the quality of patients’ lives. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Clayton Kraft.
The main focuses of the department include diagnosis and treatment of spinal diseases. The department has all the modern methods for conducting accurate diagnostics: radiography of the whole spine, CT, MRI, PET-CT of the spine, discography and myelography of the entire spine, neurological examinations (for example, examinations of nerve conduction velocity, electric excitation of muscles with alternating current), etc. After a comprehensive diagnosis, the doctor prescribes the best treatment. To date, many problems with the spine can be effectively eliminated with the help of conservative therapies. Nevertheless, in certain clinical situations, surgical intervention is required, for example, in case of a tumor, infection, fracture, instability, severe axial displacements. The department practices a variety of surgical techniques, ranging from minimally invasive and microsurgical interventions and ending up with complex reconstructive interventions on the spine. Much attention is paid to sparing minimally invasive and dynamic surgical techniques for the treatment of fractures, inflammations, nerve root and spinal cord compression, tumors and hernias of the intervertebral discs, which guarantee minimal risks and extremely rapid restoration of patient’s mobility.
The department also specializes in performing arthroscopic interventions, which are often used to treat many pathologies, including degenerative diseases and joint injuries. When performing these sparing operations, doctors use advanced tools, with which two small incisions in the joint region are made, and a special camera. Thus, the surgeon sees the entire surface of the joint on the screen and can perform the necessary manipulations to eliminate injuries or pathological changes.
In the field of endoprosthetics of special interest is the implantation of hip, knee, shoulder, elbow and ankle endoprostheses. In addition, there are performed many operations to replace endoprostheses and revision interventions. Preference is given to minimally invasive techniques. The specialists of the department use only high-quality endoprostheses from the world's leading manufacturers.
The next focus of the department is the treatment of foot diseases. Here are performed minor operations on the foot and toes, which aim to eliminate discomfort and improve functions, as well as operations for the treatment of severe foot injuries, congenital or acquired developmental defects and the consequences of accidents.
The department offers the full range of services in the field of hand surgery. It provides treatment of hand injuries of any severity, reimplantation and treatment of limitations caused by accidents. To ensure the most effective treatment, there are performed modern diagnostic tests, for example, conventional and dynamic X-ray tests, CT, MRI, three-phase scintigraphy of the skeletal bones, scintigraphy with labeled leukocytes to detect inflammation or degenerative diseases, electrophysiological tests to measure nerve conduction, muscle strength and other diagnostic examinations.
It should be noted that the medical team of the department has a unique experience in the treatment of orthopedic diseases in children and adolescents. To provide comprehensive treatment, there is maintained close cooperation with the Department of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine, the Social Pediatric Center, the Department of Pediatric Surgery and other departments of the clinic. For each young patient doctors select an individual treatment strategy according to the age, general health and clinical situation.
To completely restore mobility, eliminate and alleviate pain in adults and children, the department provides professional physiotherapy, ergotherapy, neurophysiological therapy.
