About the department
The Department of General Orthopedics and Orthopedic Oncology at the University Hospital Muenster offers the full range of conservative and surgical treatment of all musculoskeletal diseases. The department ranks among the largest medical facilities of this kind in Germany, as well as among the specialized authoritative departments for the treatment of bone and soft tissue tumors in the European medical arena. The treatment is carried out both on an outpatient and inpatient basis, including the outpatient operations. In addition to its successful clinical activities, the department is proud of its productive research work, which has given birth to many innovations in orthopedics, for example, the department's specialists have patented the very latest prosthetic systems, particularly in the field of orthopedic oncology. The Chief Physician of the department is Prof. Dr. med. Georg Gosheger.
The doctors of the department have excellent qualifications and vast experience in the treatment of musculoskeletal cancer. The patients with such pathologies come here not only from other cities of Germany, but also from many other countries of the world. In order to ensure the comprehensive treatment and the most favorable therapy outcome, there is maintained close cooperation with the Comprehensive Cancer Center Muenster. In the course of therapy, all the necessary specialists are involved in the process, who carefully think through each stage of the treatment and the subsequent recovery of the patient. Considerable attention is paid to the psychological support of patients, since the diagnosis of cancer in most cases causes a great emotional shock.
The department also gained an excellent reputation in the treatment of joint diseases (certification as the Maximum Care Center for Joint Replacement Surgery by the German Society of Orthopedics and Orthopedic Surgery (DGOOC) and Working Group on Joint Replacement Surgery (AE)). The focus is on the treatment of arthropathy, synovitis and сhondropathy, as well as the knee and hip replacement surgery (partial and total replacement surgery, revision interventions for the endoprosthetic replacement). In the case of hip joint replacement surgery, cemented or cementless prosthesis, as well as combined (hybrid) prostheses are used. With appropriate indications, the surgical interventions are performed using sparing minimally invasive techniques. If it is necessary to replace the knee joint, the doctors perform treatment with the help of sliding prostheses, bicondial endoprosthesis (сemented and cementless fixation) and revision prosthesis. The most appropriate treatment option is determined depending on the severity of the joint disease or degeneration, as well as on the patient’s specific needs and wishes.

- Orthopedic oncology and revision surgery
