RANGE OF TREATMENTS

The work of the Centre for Joint and Sport Surgery is varied and extensive. The spectrum of therapies and operative procedures includes trauma and orthopaedic surgery, endoprosthetics (artificial joints), as well as hand and foot surgery. Whenever possible, operations are carried out in a minimally invasive manner (arthroscopy, soft tissue oriented endoprosthetics of hip and knee).

UPPER EXTREMITIES

Shoulder
- Arthroscopy of the shoulder joint
- Surgery for instabilities or dislocations
- Care of collar bone, humeral head and upper arm fractures
- Surgery to release articular constriction of the rotator cuff (painful arc)
- Rotator cuff reconstruction
- Treatment of restricted movement
-  Removal of calcium deposits around the shoulder
- Shoulder endoprosthetics

Elbow
- Arthroscopy of the elbow joint
- Removal of loose bodies
- Operative care of elbow and forearm fractures
- Tennis elbow and similar tendon-related problems
- Nerve decompression
- Treatment of restricted movement
- Elbow endoprosthetics

Hand
- Arthroscopy of the wrist
- Carpal tunnel surgery
- Treatment of trigger finger
-  Treatment of constricted mobility (Dupuytrens contracture)
- Joint replacement

LOWER EXTREMITIES

Hip
- Minimally invasive and conventional hip prostheses
- Femoral neck axis correction
- Care of femoral neck and thigh fractures

Knee
- Meniscus surgery by partial removal or suture
- Anterior and posterior cruciate ligament replacement
- Conservative therapy of the anterior cruciate ligament rupture using healing response method
- Surgery to correct kneecap cartilage damage
- Cartilage/bone transplant for cartilage damage
- Axis correction of the knee for "bow-legs" or "knock-knee" conditions
- Surgery for arthrosis with cartilage smoothing and ablation of new bone formation
- Care of kneecap or knee joint fractures
- Care of knee tendon injuries
- Knee endoprosthetics (surface replacement, hemi-prostheses, total prostheses, partially navigated)

Ankle joint and foot
- Arthroscopy of the ankle joint
- Removal of new bone formation and scar tissue (footballers' ankle)
- Band reconstruction
- Care of ankle joint and foot fractures
- Treatment of ruptured Achilles tendons
- Surgery for bone and cartilage deficiencies
- Operative care of chronic tendon luxations
- Treatment of paralysed foot drops
-  Arthrodesis of the ankle of foot joints
- Joint replacement (big toe, ankle joint)
- Treatment of toe deformities (hallux, hammer toe, claw toe)
-  Treatment of heel spur and other new bone formation
-  Treatment of forefoot pain (metatarsalgia and neuroma)

PHYSIOTHERAPY
- Muscle building (strength and endurance)
-  Improving the range of movement
- Posture, movement and gait training
- Improving coordination
- Alleviation of pain (electrotherapy, ultrasound, ice treatment)
- Lymphatic drainage
- Massage (classical and trigger points)
- Manual therapy
