About the Department of Adult and Pediatric Traumatology, Hand and Reconstructive Surgery at University Hospital Muenster

According to Focus magazine, the Department of Adult and Pediatric Traumatology, Hand and Reconstructive Surgery at the University Hospital Muenster ranks among the top German medical facilities specializing in the treatment of injuries!

The department offers the full range of treatment for patients injured due to an accident, as well as the treatment of all musculoskeletal diseases and reconstructive interventions. The clinical practice is based on the use of only the most modern therapeutic techniques, adapted to the individual needs of each patient. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Michael Johannes Raschke.

The priority goal of the entire medical team of the department is the best possible recovery of the patient’s mobility and the assurance of a high quality of life. The department is the Interregional Level I Maximum Care Trauma Center. It performs more than 3,600 inpatient and about 800 outpatient interventions annually. In total, the department has 91 beds, 80 of them are in the ordinary department, whereas 11 beds are in the Intensive Care Unit. Thus, the department provides round-the-clock, highly efficient and qualified treatment of patients with mild and severe injuries.

It should be noted that the department employs specially trained medical specialists with unique experience in the treatment of injuries in children. The pediatric traumatologists are well aware that children are not small adults, and their treatment requires a different approach. For example, fractures in children heal much faster, and often they do not require surgical intervention. However, depending on the age and injury, child-specific risks may occur, such as improper healing of bones or functional limitations. Consequently, the department's doctors devote much time to comprehensive consultations for young patients and their parents. Should a child need the surgical treatment, there will be used minimally invasive techniques adapted to the growing skeleton of the child.

  • Diagnostics and treatment of injuries of any severity in adults and children
