Department of Adult and Pediatric Orthopedics, Special Orthopedic Surgery and Rheumatic Orthopedics
Specialized in: adult and pediatric orthopedics, special orthopedic surgery, rheumatic orthopedics About the Department of Adult and Pediatric Orthopedics, Special Orthopedic Surgery and Rheumatic Orthopedics at University Hospital Frankfurt am Main
According to the Focus magazine, the Department of Adult and Pediatric Orthopedics, Special Orthopaedic Surgery and Rheumatic Orthopedics at the University Hospital Frankfurt am Main ranks among the top German medical facilities specializing in the treatment of orthopedic diseases in adults and children, as well as in hip surgery!
The department offers the full range of medical services in these medical fields. It carries out both diagnostics and treatment of patients of all age groups, including very elderly patients, with various musculoskeletal diseases. The therapeutic options include both conservative and surgical treatment methods. The department is distinguished by high professionalism of doctors, advanced infrastructure and invaluable experience in the field of its specialization, due to which it occupies leading positions in the European medical arena and guarantees an optimal treatment result. The Chief Physician of the department is Prof. Dr. med. Ingo Marzi.
The department carries out productive research activities, which helps to introduce into clinical practice the very latest therapeutic techniques and thereby restore the function of the musculoskeletal system, including in particularly difficult cases. The goal of each department's physician is to provide the patient with a high-quality and effective long-term treatment outcome.
The department offers 88 beds for inpatient treatment and modern operating rooms. It treats more than 4,000 inpatients and about 17,000 outpatients every year.
The department includes Endoprosthetics Center of Maximum Care (EndoProthetikZentrum). It performs operations to partially and totally replace hip, knee, shoulder, elbow, and ankle joints. Due to the use of modern prostheses from the leading world manufacturers, as well as due to the use of the very latest surgical techniques, including minimally invasive ones, the doctors achieve excellent results in this field.
A special focus of the department's orthopedicians is the treatment of musculoskeletal diseases in children. Young patients require special approach to therapy, because their body is still growing. The doctors set themselves the task not only to eliminate the health problem, but also to ensure the proper development of the child's skeleton, joints, muscles and tendons.
The main clinical focuses of the department include:
- Endoprosthetics
- Corrective and remodeling osteotomy in joint deformity or arthrosis
- Treatment of joint lesions due to overloads, for example, after doing sports (arthroscopic interventions, procedures for the regeneration of cartilage tissue, reconstruction of tendons and ligaments)
- Total and partial replacement of all joints (using cement and cementless fixation)
- Replacement using minimally invasive techniques
- Replacement of worn or infected endoprostheses
- Bone tissue transplantation to compensate bone defects
- Treatment using special reconstructive implants
- Closure of massive defects using special implants (so-called individual prostheses)
