About the department
The Department of Orthopedics at the Helios Hospital Berlin-Buch offers the full range of highly accurate diagnostic examinations and modern treatment methods for patients with musculoskeletal diseases. Of particular interest to the department's doctors are knee and hip joint replacement surgery, treatment of rheumatic lesions of the musculoskeletal system. If possible, surgical interventions are performed using minimally invasive techniques, as well as with the very latest navigation and robot-assisted systems. The Chief Physician of the department is Prof. Dr. med. Daniel Kendoff.
The department's orthopedists have excellent qualifications in the treatment of knee and hip diseases. At the initial stages of pathologies, it is often possible to eliminate pain and restore normal mobility of the patient with the help of physiotherapy and drug treatment. If conservative methods do not help to solve the problem, the department's doctors carry out surgical interventions in order to replace knee or hip joint with an artificial one. In clinical practice, only high-quality endoprostheses made from reliable material with a long service life are used. The department's specialization also includes revision interventions to replace previously implanted endoprostheses. The patient is often prescribed rehabilitation measures after joint replacement (within the specialized Rehabilitation Center). Rehabilitation takes about three weeks and can be carried out both on an outpatient and inpatient basis.
An equally important focus of the department's work is the treatment of orthopedic diseases of the rheumatic spectrum. Inflammatory rheumatic diseases affect joints and tendons, and in the absence of treatment, they can lead to serious dysfunctions of the musculoskeletal system (in especially advanced cases, even to disability). If rheumatic joint lesions do not respond to conservative treatment, surgery may be required. To relieve pain and prevent the destruction of articular structures, the doctors perform resection of the joint mucosa (synovectomy) or tendon mucosa (tenosynovectomy). In the case of tendon rupture, reconstructive interventions are performed. The department's competence also includes arthroscopic procedures, especially on the joints of the fingers, toes and elbow joints.
The key focuses of the department's clinical practice include:
- Partial and total knee replacement surgery
- Partial and total hip replacement surgery
- Revision interventions to replace previously implanted joint prostheses
- Conservative and surgical treatment of rheumatic lesions of the musculoskeletal system
- Interventions on the joint mucosa and tendon sheath
- Reconstruction interventions on the tendons
- Arthroscopic interventions
- Other medical services
