About the department
The Department of Adult and Pediatric Orthopedics, Trauma Surgery, Spinal Surgery and Foot Surgery at the Park-Clinic Weissensee Berlin provides comprehensive diagnostics and high-quality treatment of congenital and acquired musculoskeletal diseases, as well as injuries of varying severity. The department offers the services of a specialized Maximum Care Joint Replacement Center (endoCert certification), which provides effective treatment of joint diseases. The department's specialists also successfully cope with the treatment of diseases and injuries of the spine, foot pathologies, and malignant musculoskeletal tumors. The department is equipped with state-of-the-art equipment for assessing the condition of bones, joints, muscles, tendons, and ligaments, as well as detecting the slightest pathological changes. Minimally invasive interventions are widely used in the treatment of patients with pathological lesions of the spine and joints. The department's patients receive medical care from top-class doctors who regularly demonstrate high treatment success rates.
The Head Physician of the department is Prof. Dr. med. Oliver Hauschild. He is a leading expert in the area of his specialization and also has additional qualifications in Special Orthopedic Surgery and Traumatology. The doctor regularly takes part in professional national and international congresses and actively participates in the development of new therapeutic methods.
The priority area of the department's work is knee and hip arthroplasty, which is performed in a certified center. Surgery for partial or total joint replacement is performed only when conservative treatment is ineffective. The department's doctors perform minimally invasive interventions whenever possible. The department is equipped with state-of-the-art surgical instruments for implanting endoprostheses. For example, surgeons use a computer-assisted navigation system, which allows them to obtain an optimal surgical result without an additional X-ray load. The department's competence also includes revision operations after previous joint replacement surgery, for example, due to infection or loosening of artificial joint elements. The department's surgeons have been performing joint replacement surgery for decades, and therefore they have unique competencies in this medical field. In addition, the specialists regularly undergo advanced training to provide patients with the most effective, but, at the same time, less traumatic treatment.
The department's team of doctors often admits patients with musculoskeletal cancers such as primary bone tumors and bone metastases, soft tissue sarcomas, and other neoplasms. Cancer treatment requires an interdisciplinary approach, so a treatment regimen for each patient is developed during tumor boards with the participation of orthopedists, oncologists, radiation therapists, and other physicians. A surgical intervention for tumor resection is the first-line treatment and often the only one. In most cases, surgeons manage to perform the intervention using minimally invasive techniques. However, at the advanced stages of the oncological process, the operation is supplemented with radiation therapy and/or chemotherapy. After the completion of the course of treatment, a patient is strongly recommended to regularly visit a doctor to prevent or detect a recurrence at an early stage.
The department's competence also includes spinal surgery. The most common diagnoses include spinal disc herniation, spinal stenosis, spinal tumors (lipomas, astrocytomas, ependymomas), facet syndrome, and chronic back pain. To make an accurate diagnosis, doctors carry out a clinical examination, imaging tests (X-ray, CT, and MRI scans), laboratory tests, a biopsy for suspected cancer, and other examinations. For patients with herniated discs and chronic back pain, conservative treatment with drugs, physiotherapy, therapeutic exercises, and massage is often sufficient. In more complex cases, surgery is still required for hernia repair. Chronic pain syndromes are treated with blocks under imaging guidance. If a malignant spinal tumor is diagnosed in a patient, an operation is required to resect the neoplasm, which is usually supplemented with chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and other conservative methods.
The specialists in foot surgery are responsible for the diagnostics and treatment of foot diseases, deformities, and injuries. Patients with hallux valgus and hallux rigidus, heel spurs, sprains, ankle arthritis, Charcot foot, and tendon and ligament tears receive medical care here. Doctors usually perform microsurgical and minimally invasive interventions, after which patients recover in the shortest possible time.
An important role is also given to pediatric orthopedics. The specialists offer patients a wide range of conservative and surgical methods for treating feet, leg, hip joint and spinal diseases. Clubfoot, pes equinus, and pes adductus are repaired in the department using plaster casts or surgical techniques. In addition, the specialists carry out ultrasound diagnostics of hip dysplasia in young children and joint-preserving surgery when treating growth disorders in children. The department performs operations to repair axial deformities of the legs. Pathological changes in the spine, such as scoliosis, can be treated with both conservative and surgical methods.
The main focuses of the department's work are as follows:
- Knee, hip, shoulder and ankle replacement surgery, including revision interventions
- Spinal surgery, including microsurgical techniques
- Foot surgery
- Shoulder surgery
- Arthroscopic procedures
- Sports orthopedics, including a cartilage cell transplant, treatment of patellar lesions, partial resection and repeated fixation of the meniscus, and knee ligament reconstruction
- Orthopedic oncology with a focus on the treatment of tumors and bone metastases
- Traumatology: treatment of all types of bone fractures, injuries of tendons, muscles, etc.
- Pediatric orthopedics and traumatology
- Other medical services
