About the clinic
Shoulder replacement at the Medical Center in Solingen, Germany, provides a surgical solution for patients with severe joint damage. This academic teaching hospital of the University of Cologne is an EndoCert-certified Endoprosthesis Centre. Patients receive care under strict German medical standards, often at costs 10% to 20% lower than other hospitals in the country.
Advanced Surgical Methods
The clinic offers both primary and revision shoulder replacement for complex cases. Surgeons use different methods depending on the patient's needs. These include:
- Minimally invasive arthroscopic surgery – This method uses small incisions to help patients recover faster.
- Classic open orthopedic surgery – This approach is used for more extensive joint reconstructions.
- Primary shoulder replacement – For patients receiving their first artificial joint.
- Revision surgery – For replacing or fixing a previous implant.
Conditions Treated
The orthopedic team treats various shoulder problems that cause pain and limit movement. These conditions include shoulder osteoarthritis and rotator cuff injuries. Specialists also help patients with frozen shoulder and subacromial impingement. The center manages joint instability after a dislocation and provides complex joint preservation treatments.
Expert Medical Team
The Clinic for Traumatology, Orthopaedics and Hand Surgery is led by Prof. Dr. Sascha Flohé. He is a professor at Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf and has served as a military surgeon. Dr. Oliver Voß leads the Endoprosthetics Centre as its main surgeon. Dr. Ellen Abendroth also treats patients as a specialist in shoulder and hand surgery. This team works within a facility certified by the German Trauma Center and TÜV Rheinland.
Certified Quality and Transparency
