With our clinic magazine Hellersen Insight, we would like to give you exciting insights into everyday clinical life at our specialist clinic for orthopaedics, trauma surgery and sports medicine in Lüdenscheid. We report on a wide range of topics from the medical specialties of the sports clinic, interesting patient and employee stories, portraits of our specialists as well as political topics from the healthcare sector and the Märkisch district.
In this issue Hellersen Insight you can find out more about the international orientation of the sports clinic Hellersen and the many opportunities that global partnerships open up. The focus is on the new cooperation with Emirates International Hospital in Abu Dhabi. In an exclusive interview, CEO Dirk Burghaus reports on how international partnerships promote global medical exchange, enable new approaches to specialist training and drive forward digital care concepts.
In terms of technology, the Sportklinik Hellersen is also setting new technological standards: with the introduction of the innovative VELYS™ RoboticAssisted Solution and the newly opened Robotics Center, the implantation of knee endoprostheses has been raised to a completely new level. The combination of high-precision technology and medical expertise enables particularly precise alignment of the implants - individually adapted to the anatomy of each individual patient.
In the medical section of the issue, Dr. Markus Leyh, Chief of Shoulder, Elbow, Knee Surgery and Traumatology, provides an insight into the clinical pictures of the acromioclavicular joint. Dr. Volker Stoll, Chief of Knee Surgery and Sports Traumatology, will use leg axis correction - a gentle procedure for long-term relief of the knee joint - to explain how surgical joint replacement can be delayed in the case of incipient joint wear. Finally, Dr. Stefan Nolte, Chief of Conservative Orthopaedics, will focus on the spine and explain the differences between lumbago, slipped discs and sciatica.
You can also look forward to a moving patient story: Jan PlomannJan Plomann, a former martial artist, found relief after years of back pain and the loss of his ability to walk thanks to intensive medical care at the Sportklinik Hellersen back to life step by step.
