Spinal surgery. Our specialisations

Our treatment specialisation for deformities of the spine

The spine is the frame which carries our bodies

For all patients with abnormal changes to the spine we carry out a careful diagnostic clarification procedure in stages either as an outpatient or inpatient. Should surgery not prove necessary, then patients can also be treated efficiently in the affiliated rehabilitation clinic by experienced therapists. You can also receive further medical treatment there from our experienced doctors in the rehabilitation clinic so that the best possible integration between the spinal orthopaedic acute clinic and the rehabilitation clinic is guaranteed. Depending on the type and character of the disease we carry out conservative or surgical treatment on diseases of the spine. Therefore our specialisations include:

All changes to the cervical, thoracic or lumbar spine caused by wear and tear

e.g. arthritis of the facet joints, wear and tear in the disc

Slipped discs

Instabilities of the spine

in the case of wear and tear in the disc
Post-nucleotomy syndrome (following disc operations)
post-traumatic instability (after accidents)
Developmental disorders (slipped vertebra)
Instabilities after previous operations, e.g. status post laminectomy

Deviations of the spine

(hereditary or acquired curvatures of the spine)

Scolioses (idiopathic, neuromuscular, congenital)
Kyphoses (congenital, post-traumatic, ankylosing spondylitis, Scheuermann's disease)
Combination of scoliosis and kyphosis

Deformities of the spine

Myelodysplasia (Myelomeningocele, Spina bifida)
hereditary malformations (wedge-shaped vertebrae, half vertebrae, butterfly vertebrae, segmentation disorders, Klippel-Feil syndrome)

raster stereography as an radiation-free method of measuring scolioses and kyphoses
Injections administered in the area of the spine (diagnostics and treatment)
Examinations using contrast medium (myelography, discography)
Isokinetic muscle function test
Nuclear spin tomography examinations (MRI)
Computed tomography examinations (CT)
Fully equipped intensive care unit
