About the department
The Department of Traumatology, Orthopedics and Hand Surgery at the Vivantes Am Urban Hospital is an expert in the field of urgent and interdisciplinary medical care. The department specializes in the treatment of patients with fractures and injuries of the extremities, joints, pelvis and spine that were caused by sports, work injuries and road accidents. In the field of traumatology, special attention is paid to the hand, foot surgery and reconstructive surgery. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. Mohssen Hakimi.
In the field of traumatology, special attention is paid to the hand, foot and reconstructive surgery. Medical services are provided in the department around the clock.
Doctors of sports medicine not only care about the mobility of athletes, but thanks to special experience in this field of medicine they provide services to young football players of the football club Hertha (U6 to U23) and to the national youth hockey team.
Another important area of the department is endoprosthetics. The range of services covers primary endoprosthetics of the hip, knee and shoulder joints, as well as complex operations to replace prostheses and to conduct planned arthroscopic surgery (minimally invasive surgery). Specialists of the department work with the most modern technologies and proven implants, thereby providing patients with a high quality of medical care.
Another key area of the department is hand surgery. The human hand consists of 27 separate bones, so hand surgeries are one of the most complicated. The department offers treatment for all injuries, fractures and diseases of the hand, wrist and associated ligaments, tendons, nerves and vessels. The main task of doctors specializing in hand surgery is to ensure a filigree maneuverability of the patient's hand. With this purpose the department also treats finger movement disorders and pain syndromes that have arisen as a result of pinching the nerve. Treatment of many non-severe illnesses is carried out on an outpatient basis.
The specialists of the department work on the principle “everything for patients”. In addition to patients` safety, a particularly important role is given to respectful and trustful cooperation between doctors and patients. Medical, nursing and therapeutic staff of the department are always ready to help patients in any matters.
The spectrum of medical services of the department in the field of traumatology are:
