The University Medical Center Freiburg is a member of the international group of experts engaged in the development of new kinds of implants and new operative methods. The Department of Orthopaedics and Trauma Surgery applies the most contemporary treatment methods and our main research activity lies in the improvement of cartilage cultivation, biomechanical research and the maturation of new implants.
Successful treatments are guaranteed through many years of experience in this field, thoroughly researched surgery and post-operational follow-up methods. If preserving the joint is impossible, modern computer-controlled prosthesis for the shoulder, elbow, hip, knee and talocrural joints are used to help.
