Accident injuries and reconstructive orthopaedics
In addition to the complex treatment of trauma-related injuries, we perform numerous elective procedures in reconstructive orthopedics as well as hand, foot, and spinal surgery. These include the correction of deformities, jointreplacement surgeries—particularly the replacement of worn-out artificial joints—for osteoarthritis of the hip, knee, and shoulder joints, as well as minimally invasive arthroscopic procedures on the shoulder, elbow, hand, knee, and ankle joints.
Hand surgery
Hand surgery, performed with consideration for both functional and aesthetic factors, enables the restoration of form and function in numerous conditions, such as carpal tunnel syndrome, scaphoid pseudarthrosis, Dupuytren’s disease—a condition that causes progressive restriction of movement in the finger joints—as well as osteoarthritis of the wrist and fingers.
