About the department
The Department of Adult and Pediatric Orthopedics, Orthopedic Surgery at the University Hospital Giessen UKGM offers all the diagnostic and therapeutic options for patients with musculoskeletal diseases. The main clinical tasks of the department include arthroscopic surgery, endoprosthetics, foot surgery, orthopedic rheumatology, sports orthopedics, orthopedic oncology, septic surgery, spinal surgery. The department’s specialists also have excellent qualifications and rich experience in the treatment of children with diseases of the orthopedic spectrum. The doctors of the department have at their disposal all modern conservative and surgical treatments that have proven their effectiveness at the international level. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Markus Rickert.
In the field of joint replacement surgery, the department mainly specializes in hip, knee and shoulder endoprosthetic surgery. Depending on the age and anatomical features of the patient, cement and cementless prostheses can be used. Hip and knee operations are performed in accordance with the very latest recommendations, using sparing minimally invasive techniques.
The specialists in the field of spinal surgery conduct both conservative and surgical treatment of diseases of the cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine. To make an accurate diagnosis and select the optimal treatment tactics, the experts from the Departments of Radiology and Neurology can be often involved in the therapeutic process. A key focus in this field is the implementation of dorsoventral spinal fusion, vertebral prosthetics, nucleotomy, kyphoplasty and operations to treat herniated discs.
The department’s tasks also include the treatment of all primary and secondary benign and malignant tumors of bones and soft tissues. Each clinical case is examined at an interdisciplinary tumor board. To diagnose tumors, there are used studies, such as CT, MRI, PET-CT, etc. The treatment mostly includes neoadjuvant, adjuvant and surgical therapy. Should bones and soft tissues be resected, reconstructive interventions will be performed to eliminate the defects.
