About the department
The Department of Adult and Pediatric Trauma Surgery, Orthopedic Surgery at the University Hospital Erlangen offers the full range of surgical and conservative treatment methods for musculoskeletal diseases and injuries. The department is a supraregional Trauma Center in Central Franconia. About 250 seriously injured patients receive medical care here every year. The department's specialists also annually admit more than 3,500 patients for inpatient treatment and provide outpatient care for about 25,000 patients. The department is recognized as one of the 10 largest and leading medical facilities specializing in the treatment of polytrauma in Germany. Its specialization also includes highly qualified medical care for patients with sports injuries. In addition, the department provides treatment for bone fractures, spinal fractures and polytrauma in children. The department successfully performs knee, hip, shoulder and elbow replacement surgery, including revision interventions to replace previously implanted prostheses. The surgeons of the medical facility have a perfect command of arthroscopic techniques and use them in the treatment of musculoskeletal diseases. The department is distinguished by its successful experience in spinal surgery (in cooperation with neurosurgeons) and interventions on the pelvic bones, as well as in septic surgery. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Mario Perl.
The department admits patients with various hard and soft tissue injuries, polytrauma. Patients can receive both surgical and conservative treatment of all types of fractures, undergo reconstructive surgery for complex joint fractures, treatment of the consequences of accidents, pseudoarthrosis, etc. The department's specialists use the most advanced surgical techniques and materials in their work. If the patient requires surgical treatment, preference is given to sparing minimally invasive interventions. When performing surgical interventions, surgeons widely use intraoperative 3D imaging systems for improving the view of the operating field and controlling surgical manipulations, which minimizes the risk of damage to large blood vessels and nerve endings. The department's doctors have particular experience in the treatment of injuries in elderly patients, including osteoporotic fractures of the pelvis, femoral neck and hip. An equally important priority focus of the department's traumatologists is the treatment of injuries and bone fractures in children and adolescents. The department's pediatric traumatologists work according to the principle "Children are not young adults, they require special treatment methods and a special medical approach". When treating injuries in children, it is necessary to take into account the characteristics of the growing skeleton in order to ensure the further proper development of the child. Bone fractures in children heal faster than in adults, so conservative therapy is often sufficient in such cases.
The department enjoys an excellent reputation in replacement surgery of the large joints: knee, hip, shoulder and elbow. The medical facility has passed the EndoCert® certification procedure of the German Society for Orthopaedics and Orthopaedic Surgery (DGOOC), which today is also regularly re-confirmed by a group of external experts. This means that all treatment measures (from the very first consultation to the examination after the completion of rehabilitation) are carried out in accordance with well-structured and established protocols with proven effectiveness. Moreover, the individual situation of each patient is always taken into account, and in especially difficult cases, specialists from all necessary medical fields are involved in the treatment. The modern surgical range is complemented by high quality physiotherapy, orthopedic technology and social services.
Conventional indications for joint replacement surgery are severe degenerative changes, including age-related joint degeneration, and sustained injuries (fracture, femoral head necrosis, etc.). The department uses the very latest materials and surgical techniques, including progressive navigation systems, which make it possible to ensure the most accurate placement of the prosthesis, restore the patient's mobility and enable the patient to return to sports. The department's specialists select prostheses exclusively on an individual basis, since the treatment success directly depends on the optimal choice of an artificial joint. In some cases, a custom-made prosthesis is required. After joint replacement surgery, patients receive a basic set of rehabilitation measures to facilitate recovery and a faster return to their normal lifestyle.
Arthroscopic interventions on all large joints (shoulder, elbow, hip, knee, ankle) are also within the competence of the department's doctors. The specialists successfully perform arthroscopic interventions to repair damage to the cartilage tissue, rotator cuff, ankle joint, articular lip, meniscus, perform cruciate ligament replacement and cartilage transplantation, as well as provide effective treatment for sports and industrial injuries, bone and soft tissue tumors. As a rule, such interventions are performed using high-resolution MRI and modern intraoperative imaging. The specialists strive to perform minimally traumatic surgical treatment with the formation of a surgical access through one or several small skin incisions 2-3 cm long. A miniature camera and surgical instruments are inserted through small tissue incisions into the joint cavity. The advantages of this approach include mild postoperative pain, minimal risk of damage to adjacent tissues and structures, faster healing of postoperative wounds, and a short hospital stay.
It should be noted that the department's specialists carry out all therapeutic procedures and surgical interventions in accordance with the requirements of the Bavarian State Medical Association. Thus, the results of surgical treatment in the medical facility are distinguished by an extremely low level of mortality and postoperative complications, such as impaired wound healing or infections. To maintain the highest level of medical support, each department's employee regularly makes one or another contribution to the development and optimization of clinical processes.
