In geriatric traumatology, we enable elderly and injured patients to return to their familiar surroundings after a stay in hospital. Our experience shows that, in addition to the consequences of the accident, elderly people often have pre-existing or concomitant conditions that can make treatment more complex. This is why we work together at the Basel Geriatric Trauma Center as a network between the University Hospital Basel (USB) and the University Geriatric Medicine Felix Platter (UAFP).

The focal points of our center

• Infections of joint prostheses
• Infections after bone fractures
• Infections in diabetic foot syndrome

Our range of surgical services includes all injuries to the shoulder girdle and all degenerative diseases. Our range of treatments also includes revision operations on tendons, ligaments and prostheses. Minimally invasive surgical techniques minimize the post-operative recovery time. We make treatment decisions based on the latest medical research. We offer our patients optimal treatment, with or without surgery.

Our focus

• Hip arthrosis, hip dysplasia, hip impingement

• Soft tissue problems (e.g. inflammation of bursae, tendons; limping)

• Primary hip prosthesis (minimally invasive)

• Revision hip joint prosthesis incl. complex reconstructions with bone grafting

• Hip joint arthroscopy (endoscopy)

• Joint-preserving hip surgery

Our focus

Accident and sports injuries

• Meniscus and cruciate ligament injuries, collateral ligament injuries and in combination (multi-ligament)
• Cartilage injuries and cartilage transplants
• Patellar dislocation (patellofemoral instability), from simple to complex
• Second and third cruciate ligament injuries (revision surgery)

Chronic complaints

• Axial and rotational corrections for misalignments as a result of accidents and deformities with the help of patient-specific incision blocks (PSI)
• -Treatment of osteoarthritis caused by the consequences of accidents, rheumatic diseases or wear and tear
• Complete knee replacement surgery: from partial prosthesis (sled prosthesis) and total prosthesis to revision arthroplasty

State-of-the-art surgical techniques and the latest findings from research and development are used to achieve optimum results. Our range of services covers both acute and chronic complaints in the area of the foot and ankle. Whether sports injuries or chronic degenerative complaints, patients are comprehensively assessed and treated according to their needs.
