Through our clinic magazine, Hellersen Insight, we aim to provide you with fascinating insights into daily life at our specialized clinic for orthopedics, trauma surgery, and sports medicine in Lüdenscheid. We cover a wide range of topics, including the medical departments of the sports clinic, interesting stories about patients and staff, profiles of our specialists, as well as policy issues related to healthcare and the Märkischer Kreis.
Today, medicine thinks on a global scale—and the latest issue of Hellersen Insight explores precisely this theme. Discover how Hellersen Sports Clinic is setting new standards through global partnerships and is the first clinic outside the Arab world to train specialists to international standards.
In addition to this milestone, you’ll find in-depth insights into selected medical topics: for example, why procedures on the cervical spine require the highest precision, or what role exercise plays in the long-term success of a joint replacement.
Furthermore, this issue also shares personal stories—such as the return of a freerider after a severe wrist injury that put his career on the line. The magazine is complemented by special perspectives from our clinic: In the feature section, Dr. Tobias Schmenn discusses his balancing act between daily clinic life and his role as team physician for the women’s national team.
