Orthopaedics
 

The department of Orthopaedics in Wolfart Hospital , both in the field of Sports Medicine and in the field of Endoprosthetics is internationally renowned.

In sports medicine professional and amateur athletes rely on the skill and many years' experience of our orthopaedic specialists. The comprehensive care extends from diagnostics through surgical measures to the following rehabilitation.

The departments of sports medicine and accident surgery work closely together in the frame of integrative care. In this way optimal care can be ensured in the frame of sport traumatology.

The department of Endoprosthetics has specialised in the implantation of knee and hip joints. New surgical techniques such as the "Yale Technique" for the implantation of artificial hip joints facilitate substantially faster and less painful mobility of the patient. As a result long stays in the rehabilitation hospitals are not necessary. As a rule it is possible to go back to work after a short time – an advantage which is of importance e.g. for the self-employed, business people and managers.
