About the department

The Department of Traumatology at the University Hospital of Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich offers the full range of diagnostics and treatment for acute and chronic, acquired and congenital musculoskeletal injuries of any severity. The department's doctors have excellent professional skills in the treatment of injuries of the lower and upper limbs, spine, and pelvis. In addition, the specialists have rich experience in providing medical care to patients with polytrauma. The department's operating rooms have advanced equipment to provide patients with effective medical care, including emergency care. The department also has the necessary equipment for performing navigation-assisted surgery. A competent team of doctors, which is ready to help in urgent clinical cases at any moment, works around the clock in the medical facility. The department is certified as a supraregional Trauma Center (DGU) and a Center for Severe Injuries (SAV). There is also a helipad for the delivery of seriously injured patients. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Wolfgang Böcker.

The department regularly admits patients with spinal and pelvic injuries. Trauma surgeons treat injuries in all parts of the spine: cervical, thoracic, lumbar, and sacral. The most common injuries encountered in clinical practice are vertebral body fractures and dislocations, intervertebral disc injuries, spinal cord or spinal nerve compression due to injuries, anterior and posterior pelvic ring fractures, acetabular fractures, and others. In most cases, the treatment of spinal and pelvic injuries requires surgical interventions, which are among the most complex in traumatology and require the vast experience of surgeons and advanced surgical equipment. During operations, the department's specialists most often use minimally invasive and microsurgical techniques, while open operations are rarely resorted to. Traumatologists also care about the safety of treatment, so during the surgical interventions, they use intraoperative 3D imaging, navigation systems, and surgical microscopes.

The doctors working at the medical facility also have rich experience in treating polytrauma, for example, severe bone fractures combined with lacerations and injuries in the abdominal organs. The patients with polytrauma are treated and cared for in accordance with standardized protocols recognized throughout the world (for example, Advanced Trauma Life Support). The medical facility is one of the few in Germany, which has a modern room for antishock therapy in patients with highly severe injuries, including polytrauma. The department's specialists, together with the doctors from related specialties, do their best to cure the injury and give a patient a chance to return to their full lives.

The department also provides conservative and surgical treatment for injuries of the upper and lower limbs. Doctors are also competent at treating periprosthetic fractures (fractures of the bones next to a previously implanted endoprosthesis). The patients with such fractures undergo osteosynthesis or complex operations to replace prostheses.

The department's range of medical services includes:

  • Treatment of injuries in elderly patients
    • Spinal injuries
      • Cervical spine injuries (for example, odontoid fracture)
      • Vertebral fractures due to osteoporosis (traumatic and atraumatic)
