Conservative therapy

Pain/irritation due to injuries, overloads as well as fatigue and degeneration (wear and tear) of the musculoskeletal system.

• Soft tissues
  Muscles, fasciae, tendons, ligaments, capsules, bursae
• Joints
  Shoulder, elbow, hand and fingers, hip, knee, foot and toes
• Back
  Intervertebral disc & vertebral joints
  

Treatment approach

• Remedy the pain/irritation
• Elimination of shortening and hardening of the soft tissues
• Remedying the dysfunction of the joints

Surgical therapy

In cooperation with the University/Rheumatism Clinic Bad Bramstedt

Joint-preserving

• Osteotomy: pelvis, thigh, lower leg
• Patellar instability / luxation
• Capsule ligament injuries

Joint-replacing

• Endoprosthetics hip joint & knee joint
  Primary and revision endoprosthetics

Arthroscopies

Shoulder joint

• Shoulder impingement, subacromial bursitis
• Shoulder dislocation
• Synovitis
• Free joint bodies
• Acromio-clavicular joint arthritis

Hip joint

• Femoroacetabular impingement
  Synovitis
• Free joint bodies

Knee joint

• Meniscus damage
• Cartilage damage
• Patellar instability / luxation
• Anterior cruciate ligament rupture

Upper ankle joint

• Cartilage damage
• Synovitis
