Image-Guided Knee Injection in Orthopaedics & Trauma Surgery

DUS – Orthopaedics & Trauma Surgery is a private medical clinic in the Düsseldorf-Stockum district of Germany. It opened in 2016. The practice specializes in bone and joint care, both with and without surgery. Its team of 26 doctors works across several regional branches.

Musculoskeletal Care and Trauma Surgery

The clinic treats many bone and joint conditions. Specialists focus on joint-preserving solutions and reconstructive care. Some team members are officially authorized to treat work- and accident-related injuries. They handle both acute trauma and chronic wear-and-tear diseases with combined therapy plans.

Doctors try non-surgical methods before recommending surgery. Several specialized conservative treatments are available:

• Manual medicine and chiropractic therapy
• Acupuncture and shockwave therapy
• High-energy induction therapy (magnetic field)
• Heat, cold, ultrasound, and laser therapy
• Joint and soft-tissue injections

Every major procedure comes with structured aftercare and rehabilitation planning. Each patient gets individual support from the first diagnosis through wound checks.

Joint Replacement and Endoprosthetics

DUS runs a dedicated joint replacement consultation, the Prothesensprechstunde. Surgeons perform total joint arthroplasty for the hip, knee, and ankle. Each treatment plan depends on bone quality and whether osteoporosis is present. Based on these factors, doctors decide whether to anchor or cement the artificial joint.

Surgeons use specific approaches to speed up recovery:

• Direct anterior approach for minimally invasive hip replacement
• Small-incision techniques for knee replacement
• Total hip and shoulder replacement surgery
• Complex revision surgery for existing prostheses

International patients get help with endoprosthetics coverage and cost questions. Every consultation includes a thorough review of existing X-ray or MRI results.

Arthroscopy and Sports Medicine

The clinic has a dedicated unit called Knee Specialist Düsseldorf. Here, surgeons use arthroscopy to treat meniscus lesions and ligament tears. A knee arthroscopy usually takes 15–20 minutes. Most patients are fit for social activities within 5–7 days after the procedure.

Advanced regenerative options are available for cartilage and tendon injuries:

• Cartilage transplantation to replace damaged surfaces with new tissue
• Autologous chondrocyte transplants (ACT) for complex defects
• Meniscus suturing to preserve natural joint function
• Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction
• Rotator cuff repair and shoulder stabilization

For three weeks after surgery, patients usually combine physiotherapy with lymphatic drainage. This helps restore joint mobility and reduce swelling.

Spine and Regenerative Therapy

Spine services cover everything from pinched nerves to herniated discs. Specialists perform periradicular therapy (PRT) for targeted back pain relief. A guided needle delivers medication directly to the affected nerves. For complex structural problems, minimally invasive spinal fusion is available.

The clinic offers autologous blood therapy, such as Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), as a regenerative option. It is an alternative to surgery or cortisone injections. ACP therapy specifically targets inflammation in joints, bursae, or tendons. These therapies use the patient's own blood to trigger natural healing.

Diagnostics and International Services

DUS offers diagnostics “under one roof,” so treatment moves faster. During spinal injections, a mobile X-ray machine guides precise needle placement. High-resolution ultrasound gives detailed images of bones, joints, and muscles. Digital X-ray diagnostics and 3-D bone imaging (DVT) are also available on-site.

International services help patients abroad plan treatment remotely:

• Remote second opinions via report and image review
• Video consultations for initial assessments
• English-language medical and surgical reports
• Dutch-language specialty consultations

Patients can book appointments online through the clinic’s digital platform. This gives quick access to specialists at the Düsseldorf and Ratingen locations.
