About the Department of Pediatric Orthopedics and Neuro-Orthopedics at Helios Hospital Berlin-Buch
The Department of Pediatric Orthopedics and Neuro-Orthopedics at the Helios Hospital Berlin-Buch provides the accurate diagnostics and comprehensive treatment of musculoskeletal diseases in children and adolescents, including neurological pathologies accompanied by orthopedic disorders and complications. The doctors of the department work closely with specialists in the field of pediatrics, pediatric surgery and orthopedics. In addition to quality treatment, young patients are offered a special rehabilitation program with the elements of games. The department is headed by Dr. med. Matthias Rogalski.
The treatment of orthopedic diseases in children requires special medical knowledge and experience, since the task of a pediatric orthopedist is not only to restore the health of the child, but also to ensure his proper development and growth. The department’s experts have in their arsenal many special treatment methods that are most effective for a growing child’s body. Preference is given to an integrated approach, which means that the treatment process involves the participation of pediatric orthopedists, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, rehabilitologists and specially trained nursing staff. Each clinical case is unique, so the doctors develop treatment tactics on an individual basis.
