About the department
The Department of Orthopedics, Trauma Surgery and Foot Surgery at the University Hospital Halle (Saale) provides a full range of modern diagnostics and conservative and surgical treatment of musculoskeletal diseases. The primary clinical interest of the department's team of doctors is the medical care of patients with diseases of large joints, spine, and foot, bone and soft tissue sarcomas, injuries of any severity, including multiple and geriatric. The department includes a specialized Maximum Care Joint Replacement Center (EndoCert and ClarCert certified), which successfully performs partial and total knee and hip arthroplasty. It should be noted that these operations are performed through a minimally invasive approach, which allows for postoperative restoration of mobility in the shortest possible time. The department also has a well-developed area of arthroscopic surgery of the knee, hip, and shoulder joints and offers modern methods of treatment of foot and ankle pathologies. The high quality of medical care is confirmed by numerous prestigious certificates, such as the certificate of the German Spine Society (DWG), the certificate of the German Foot and Ankle Society (DAF), the certificate of the German Society for Orthopedics and Trauma Surgery (DGOU), the certificate of the German Cancer Society (DKG), the certificate of the German Knee Society (DKG), the certificate of the German Trauma Society (DGU), and others. The Head Physician of the department is Prof. Dr. med. Karl-Stefan Delank.
The department includes an advanced Maximum Care Joint Replacement Center with EndoCert and ClarCert certification. The center's specialists perform hip replacement surgery for patients with arthrosis, rheumatoid arthritis, femoral head aseptic necrosis, femoral neck fractures, and femoral neck pseudoarthrosis. They also perform knee replacement surgery for arthrosis, intra-articular fractures, lesions associated with systemic diseases (gout, psoriasis, or rheumatism), and other pathologies. The decision to perform arthroplasty is made in cases of severe joint dysfunction and reduction of the patient's quality of life due to severe pain, when conservative therapy does not give the desired result. At the stage of preparation for hip or knee replacement surgery, the surgeon selects the optimal type of prosthesis taking into account the diagnosis, the condition of the bone tissue, the patient's body weight, the presence of concomitant pathologies, and other factors. The orthopedists of the department work only with high-quality endoprostheses of the world's leading manufacturers, which have a service life of at least 15-20 years. A great advantage for the patients of the department is that all hip and knee joint replacement surgeries are performed here using minimally invasive surgical techniques, which ensures minimal trauma to soft tissues and preserves the integrity of the musculoskeletal system. As a result, the postoperative pain syndrome is relieved, patients are able to get back on their feet very quickly, and the rehabilitation period is significantly shortened.
A major clinical focus of the department is the treatment of benign and malignant bone and soft tissue tumors and bone metastases, such as those arising from colorectal cancer, lung cancer, or breast cancer. When a bone or soft tissue sarcoma is suspected, a comprehensive diagnosis is performed, including imaging tests (X-ray, CT, and MRI), laboratory tests, and a biopsy with histologic examination of the biological material obtained. Based on the results of the preliminary diagnosis, the most effective treatment regimen for the patient is planned by the interdisciplinary tumor board, which includes orthopedists, oncologists, radiation therapists, radiologists, and other specialists. The first-line treatment is usually surgical resection of the malignancy. In some cases, neoadjuvant chemotherapy is given before surgery to shrink the tumor, which makes it possible to reduce the scope of the surgical procedure. Chemotherapy is also often given after surgery to destroy any remaining cancer cells and prevent cancer recurrence. In many cases, radiation therapy is also included in the treatment regimen.
The department's team of orthopedists also specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of spinal diseases. Neurosurgeons are often involved in the therapeutic process, which allows determining the optimal treatment tactics for the patient, taking into account the slightest nuances of a specific spinal pathology. The department's specialists successfully operate on patients with cervical, thoracic, and lumbar disc herniation, spinal stenosis, spinal instability, spondylodiscitis, scoliosis, kyphosis, spinal tumors and metastases, spinal injuries, including osteoporotic fractures, and spinal lesions due to rheumatism. Spinal surgery is performed using low-traumatic minimally invasive and microsurgical techniques.
The department is justifiably proud of its excellence in foot and ankle surgery. The medical facility is certified according to the strict requirements of the German Foot and Ankle Society (DAF). Specialists in this field perform conservative and surgical treatment of ankle arthrosis, diabetic foot syndrome, flat feet, hollow feet, Achilles tendon ruptures, ligament ruptures, ankle osteochondritis dissecans, and foot deformities. Whenever possible, conservative treatment is performed using special orthopedic devices, physiotherapy procedures, cryotherapy, heat therapy, drug therapy, laser therapy, and other methods. When conservative measures fail, doctors consider the possibility of surgery. Foot and ankle surgery is performed in the department using minimally invasive techniques.

- Orthopedics
