Surgery in orthopedics

In surgery, injured body parts are rejoined or sutured for the purpose of healing, and diseased organs are completely (or partially) removed. For example, if osteochondrosis dissecans (OD) “joint mouse” is present, it is surgically removed, whereas in a joint replacement, all or part of the original injured/damaged joint tissue is removed to be replaced by an endoprosthesis.

Minimally invasive surgery

Today, the most modern surgical techniques allow the use of minimally invasive surgery in many ways, which means that only the smallest necessary interventions are made in the body. Most minimally invasive procedures in orthopedics are performed using endoscopy, which means that only small openings are made to insert surgical tools into the body while the doctor keeps an eye on all the details via a camera. This causes comparatively minor damage to the body during the surgical procedure, which has a positive effect on the healing and recovery processes.

Invasive surgery

Invasive surgery, also called conservative surgery, cannot always be avoided despite the latest medical science. In this context, invasive refers to active intervention in the body, as opposed to minimally invasive surgery, which intervenes in the body as little as possible. This involves opening the body or the area of the body to be operated on in order to perform the operation to be performed. This is necessary in orthopedics, for example, when a complex fracture has occurred, an implant or joint replacement is required, or minimally invasive surgery with endoscopes proves not to be promising. Whenever possible, however, modern orthopedic surgeons and trauma surgeons like our experts on Team OZMO use minimally invasive methods to implement a necessary surgical procedure.

What kind of surgery is performed by the specialists at OZMO?

When injuries and conditions requiring orthopedic treatment cannot be treated by externally applied therapies alone, surgery is a valuable tool for recovery. In surgery, a distinction is made between minimally invasive and invasive procedures, which represent different options for treatment, but also for stress on the body. Accordingly, the right option as a surgical intervention must be carefully considered after comprehensive consultation with the treating orthopedist and trauma surgeon.

Our three specialists form an experienced team for you, each of whom brings individual specializations that complement each other optimally in order to exhaust all treatment options for you.

As a specialist in orthopedics, Dr. med. Meinhard Balensiefen is also our specialist for endoprosthetics as well as hand and foot surgery. In addition, he is our emergency medicine specialist. Prof. Dr. med. habil. Peter Diehl is a specialist in orthopedics and trauma surgery and our expert for surgical procedures on the shoulder and knee. At the same time, he holds the position of head physician for minimally invasive surgery at the Dr. Lubos Clinic in Bogenhausen. Also as a specialist in orthopedics and trauma surgery stands Priv. Doz. Dr. med. habil. Johannes Schauwecker available. He is also chief physician at the Dr. Lubos Klinik Bogenhausen, where, as a specialist for knee and hip, he also knows how to treat special orthopedic surgery with special requirements.

The experienced specialists complement each other perfectly in the day-to-day practice as well as in patient care to be at your disposal for common diseases and injuries requiring orthopedic treatment as well as for complex requirements with surgical interventions.

Orthopedic Surgery & Trauma Surgery

A specialist in orthopedics and trauma surgery treats diseases and injuries of the musculoskeletal system therapeutically and surgically after comprehensive diagnostics. Detailed anamnesis, targeted clinical examinations, but also movement tests and imaging procedures provide the specialist for orthopedic diseases with information about the appropriate treatment. Sometimes surgical intervention is unavoidable and the best support for the healing process.

For example, after an accident with trauma surgery, surgical reconstruction of body parts such as bones and tissues may be necessary, therapy of injuries such as a torn cruciate ligament or shoulder dislocation may require surgery, or surgical intervention on the joint may reduce signs of wear and tear. In trauma surgery, emergency medicine is also an important factor in ensuring that emergency medical assistance is provided immediately following an accident or serious injury, if necessary, and that the best possible follow-up treatments are initiated.

Our experts in orthopedics and trauma surgery at the Orthopedic Center Munich East (OZMO) are available for a medical consultation, detailed diagnostics and modern treatment with and without surgical interventions. Take advantage of our wealth of experience in the specialty of orthopedics to best treat injuries and conditions.
