According to the Focus magazine, the Department of Adult and Pediatric Orthopedics, Traumatology at the Charite University Hospital Berlin ranks among the top German medical facilities in the field of its specialization!

It offers the full range of conservative and surgical treatment of musculoskeletal diseases. The department's priorities include knee and hip surgery, including endoprosthetics, spinal surgery, shoulder and elbow surgery, surgical oncology of the musculoskeletal system and the treatment of injuries of varying severity. With an annual number of more than 8,000 inpatients, the department has the status of one of the largest and most reputable in the field of its competence. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Carsten Perka.

The department provides first-class medical services based on tremendous experience and rich traditions. The productive research activities of the department's orthopedists and traumatologists allows for the introduction of all the innovations of modern medicine into clinical practice. The department is certified as the interregional Trauma Center in the district of Berlin and Brandenburg, so the medical team works around the clock and it is ready to provide emergency and effective medical care for injuries of varying complexity.

Special attention should be paid to the excellent infrastructure of the department, in particular, 8 state-of-the-art operating rooms. The department's surgeons annually perform more than 8,500 surgical interventions, which is an indisputable proof of the outstanding quality of treatment and invaluable experience in the treatment of musculoskeletal diseases.

The department's physicians also have exceptional qualifications in the treatment of orthopedic diseases and injuries in children, including their consequences in adulthood. In the case of such pathologies, the doctors set themselves the goal of not only curing the young patient from the diseases, but also ensuring the proper development of the growing organism. The doctors of the department mostly have to deal in their clinical practice with such pediatric orthopedic pathologies as hip dysplasia, slipped capital femoral epiphysis, Perthes disease, foot deformities, axial deformities of the lower limbs, leg length discrepancies, etc.

The service range of the department includes:
