Trauma surgery / orthopedics

All content is checked by medical journalists.

The specialist in trauma surgery & orthopedics takes care of broken bones, osteoporosis, bursitis, broken hip joints and knee osteoarthritis - in summary, all congenital and acquired disorders, diseases and injuries to the musculoskeletal system (bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles and bursae ).

In some cases, treatment is surgery. For example, a displaced bone fracture has to be surgically set up and a torn muscle sutured.

For other trauma surgery & orthopedic patients, conservative treatment is sufficient. Anyone who breaks their collarbone is given a special bandage; Osteoporosis patients receive medication that slows down bone loss as well as tips for a healthy diet and lifestyle. And even in the case of a herniated disc, non-surgical therapies often bring the desired success.
