Orthopaedics

Orthopaedics deals with diagnoses and therapies for all diseases of the locomotor system and the brace, such as:

• joint diseases and problems: shoulder, hip, knee, elbow, etc.
• torn muscle, torn ligament or tendon rupture
• spine problems and twists
• invertebral discs problems, lumbago
• feet and course problems
• fractures and osteoporosis
• tissue tumour or bone metastases

On the one hand Orthopaedics requires often operative measures: factures can be fixed or prostheses inserted for example. On the other hand physiotherapy, massages, physical exercises play a major part. Orthopaedics during childhood is important to prevent long-term damages of skeleton and posture problems.

The aim of orthopaedics is always to prevent operations by suitable measures.
