About the department
The Department of Adult and Pediatric Orthopedics, Orthopedic Surgery, Foot Surgery at the University Hospital Saarland Homburg offers the full range of services in the areas of its specialization. The department carries out comprehensive diagnostic examinations of the musculoskeletal system as well as effective conservative and surgical treatment of pathologies of the joints, tendons, muscles, and bones. The department's team of doctors is always trying to solve the problem with the musculoskeletal system using conservative methods such as drug therapy, intra-articular injections, therapeutic exercises, physiotherapy, and massage. The department also has a pool for swimming and therapeutic exercises in the water, a well-equipped gym, and electrotherapy rooms. In complex clinical cases, doctors resort to surgical interventions, but almost all of them are performed with low-traumatic techniques, which allow a patient to restore mobility as soon as possible. One of the most important focuses of work in the surgical field is knee, hip, and shoulder replacement surgery. The department has passed the endoCert certification that is awarded to the best orthopedic medical facilities only. The specialists also have a perfect command of arthroscopic techniques for treating joints. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Stefan Landgraeber.
One of the most common diseases in the clinical practice of the department's doctors is hip arthrosis (coxarthrosis). This degenerative-dystrophic disease causes the destruction of cartilage covering the surface of the femoral head and acetabulum. As the disease progresses, it causes acute pain, movement stiffness, up to immobility, and lameness. If a patient timely seeks medical attention, the department's doctors manage to eliminate the pathology, thereby improving the patient's health condition and mobility with the help of intra-articular injections, therapeutic exercises, and physiotherapy. If conservative treatment does not give the desired result, the only effective method to treat coxarthrosis is hip replacement surgery. Depending on the patient's clinical data, this surgery can be performed by the methods of total cementless joint replacement (used in most patients), total cementless replacement with femoral neck preservation, and cemented total hip replacement surgery. The department's surgeons most often perform hip replacement surgery using sparing endoscopic techniques. The specialists are also competent in revision hip replacement surgery (prosthesis replacement after its initial implantation) due to loosening of prosthesis elements, infection, etc.
The department's medical team also demonstrates high treatment success rates in arthroscopic joint surgery. The medical facility performs arthroscopic procedures for shoulder diseases (rotator cuff tears, dislocated shoulders, shoulder cartilaginous tissue lesions, shoulder stiffness, or frozen shoulder), knee diseases (meniscus and ligament tears, patellar dislocation, and cartilage tissue lesions), and hip diseases (traumatic cartilage injuries, impaired tendon and ligament integrity, and impaired articular surface integrity). Knee arthroscopic interventions are the most common in the department. When performing arthroscopy, a surgeon makes only two small skin incisions in the area of the affected joint 5-6 mm in size, through one of which a special instrument (arthroscope) is inserted in the form of a tube with a tiny video camera attached. The duration of the surgical procedure is about 30 minutes. Patients tolerate arthroscopy well, quickly regain mobility after the operation, and practically do not experience any pain. In addition, such interventions guarantee an excellent aesthetic result due to the absence of scars.
The department's doctors also treat foot and ankle diseases. The specialists understand that discomfort and pain in the foot area have a negative impact on the person's quality of life, limiting their mobility, so physicians have ample opportunities to eliminate even particularly complex foot pathologies. The department's doctors successfully perform arthroscopic interventions to treat hallux valgus, hallux rigidus, metatarsalgia, flat feet, hollow foot, Charcot arthropathy, Achilles tendon rupture, and other pathologies, including in children.
The department's team of pediatric orthopedists takes care of the health of the musculoskeletal system in children and adolescents. Young patients with hip diseases (hip dysplasia, Perthes disease, and slipped capital femoral epiphysis), axial lower limb deformities (O-shaped and X-shaped deformities), spinal pathologies (scoliosis), congenital bone malformations, bone and soft tissue tumors, and foot malformations (clubfoot, heel spurs, and flat feet). At the diagnostic stage, children undergo the necessary imaging tests, including X-rays, ultrasounds, and MRI scans. The department's specialists first consider conservative treatment options. With appropriate clinical indications, the most sparing but, at the same time, effective operations are performed. Spastic syndromes are treated with symptomatic therapy using botulinum toxin injections under ultrasound guidance (short-term anesthesia may be used whenever required).
