Department of Adult and Pediatric Trauma Surgery, Hand Surgery
Specialized in: adult and pediatric trauma surgery, hand surgery About the Department of Adult and Pediatric Trauma Surgery, Hand Surgery at St. Vincentius Hospital Karlsruhe
The Department of Adult and Pediatric Trauma Surgery, Hand Surgery at the St. Vincentius Hospital Karlsruhe provides top-class medical care to patients with musculoskeletal injuries of any severity and specializes in the treatment of hand diseases and injuries. The department's doctors have effective conservative and surgical methods in their arsenal to treat injuries. The department's specialists strive to ensure the fastest possible recovery of function, ability to work, and a decent quality of life for patients with the help of modern therapies. The department houses the first German Shoulder and Elbow Surgery Center certified by the German Association for Shoulder and Elbow Surgery (DVSE). In 2008, the first Geriatric Trauma Center in the state of Baden-Wuerttemberg was also founded here. The department's specialists often admit patients with sports injuries, so they have a wealth of experience in this field. The department's operating rooms are adapted for minimally traumatic surgical procedures on bones, joints, tendons, and muscles. Hand surgery is performed using advanced microsurgical techniques. The department's doctors prefer an individual approach to the patient's medical care, which contributes to the high efficiency of treatment. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Lars-Johannes Lehmann.
The department's primary focus is shoulder and elbow surgery. It is noteworthy that Prof. Lars-Johannes Lehmann has repeatedly been ranked among the top experts in this field. Patients with shoulder and elbow injuries are treated in the specialized center, which received the quality certificate from the German Association for Shoulder and Elbow Surgery (DVSE) in September 2019. Currently, the medical facility is the only one in Germany with such a certification. The department's doctors have the necessary resources and facilities for comprehensive diagnostics and treatment of patients with shoulder and elbow injuries. Treatment begins with an outpatient consultation, after which doctors proceed to imaging diagnostics and, if necessary, emergency medical care. If surgery is indicated based on the diagnostic results, minimally invasive arthroscopic techniques are considered whenever possible. During arthroscopic interventions, regional anesthesia is used, so patients do not experience any pain. The department's doctors perform more than 1,000 operations for shoulder and elbow diseases and injuries every year. Following surgery, patients undergo physiotherapy to restore upper limb function.
The department also houses a Geriatric Trauma Center, where elderly patients with injuries of varying severity receive medical care. It is no secret that the treatment of bone fractures in the elderly is a rather complex clinical task. This is due to the presence of concomitant pathologies, including diabetes mellitus, arterial hypertension, heart failure, etc. The department's specialists offer an innovative concept of trauma therapy for elderly patients, involving close cooperation between traumatologists and geriatric specialists. Patients receive comprehensive medical care, starting with preoperative preparation and ending with a special rehabilitation program adapted to the needs of elderly patients. The Geriatric Trauma Center has implemented a quality management system that ensures structured and standardized treatment with constant monitoring and analysis of results. Such an approach guarantees high-quality medical care, and the ISO 9001:2008 certification is a good confirmation. The main goal of the department's doctors is to provide injured elderly patients with the opportunity to receive qualified care within a single medical facility. In addition, it is important for the specialists to improve the quality of life of elderly people and provide them with maximum independence in their everyday lives.
The department is also competent in the treatment of hand diseases and injuries. The primary focus for the specialists is providing emergency medical care for hand injuries, but there is also vast experience in caring for patients with functional hand disorders caused by certain diseases. Hand surgery is performed using modern microsurgical techniques, which involve the use of advanced surgical microscopes during the procedures. The use of state-of-the-art equipment and the exceptional professionalism of the surgeons allow for the restoration of even the tiniest nerve endings, blood vessels, extensor tendons, and flexor tendons of the fingers. Stabilizing implants are used to treat finger fractures, and soft tissue defects are restored during reconstructive surgery.
