About the department
The Department of Pediatric Orthopedics at the Orthopedic Center Munich East Munich offers the widest options for the high-precision diagnostics and comprehensive treatment of musculoskeletal diseases in children. The Chief Physician of the department is Dr. med. Frank Meinhard Balensiefen.
The range of medical services includes modern conservative and surgical techniques. The department successfully treats congenital clubfoot, deformities of the lower limbs, as well as various types of injuries and fractures in children and adolescents. The main task of the department's specialists is the timely detection and treatment of congenital and acquired musculoskeletal pathologies in childhood, which ensures the normal development of the young body.
In most cases, the doctors begin the treatment with conservative methods, which allow them to delay the operation or completely abandon it. One of the most common and effective methods in the field of conservative therapy is the use of special corsets. They can improve the gait and posture of the child.
It should be noted that an individual treatment plan is selected for each young patient taking into account the particular clinical indications. In addition, the treatment process can cause fear in children, so the entire medical staff of the department surrounds young patients with care and attention, the attending physician establishes a trusting relationship with the child. This helps to achieve good treatment results and to maintain good emotional state of the child.
