Inpatients and outpatients of the University Medical Centre Mainz are required to undergo physical therapy. This is provided by the Institute of Physical Therapy, Prevention and Rehabilitation.
Surgical treatment of injuries to the pelvis and acetabulum (hip socket) has long been a focus. The Department has a wealth of experience in treatment of unstable pelvic ring and acetabular fractures. The highest standards of surgical treatment are offered and results are regularly published in national and international journals.

Knee
Diagnosis by specialised clinical investigation with ultrasonography, conventional radiography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
The full range of knee surgery is performed and, with the significant increase in recreational sports, knee injuries account for about 35% of all sports injuries. The main areas are meniscus, cartilage and ligament injuries, where early treatment protects against more severe damage and complications later in life. Treatments include:
Wherever possible, the Dept. uses the latest minimally invasive techniques such as mini-arthrotomy and endoprosthetic treatments.
The operating range covers the entire hand surgery, including:

Musculoskeletal and Accident Surgery
Fractures or breaks of the pelvic ring and acetabulum (hip socket) are rare, but serious injuries. They are almost always the result of a high-energy trauma. They are usually seen in multiple injuries and multiple trauma patients and are among the most demanding of surgical accident injuries to treat.
Due to the immediate vicinity of nerves, vascular structures and internal organs a customized concept of total therapy is required. The range of treatments includes:
Acute management of unstable pelvic ring injuries and acetabular fractures.

Diagnosis and treatment of consequences of pelvic ring fracture.
Treatment of late complications after acetabular fractures, including endoprosthetic joint replacement.
Outpatient follow-up of treated pelvic ring and stationary acetabulum injuries.
Tremendous progress has been made in the last ten years in diagnosis and treatment of diseases and injuries of the shoulder. Arthroscopic surgery of the shoulder joint, shoulder prosthesis and a new understanding of injury patterns have led to a specialisation in this area.
Pains in the shoulder region which continue for months or years are often rooted in an unrecognised injury to the capsular ligaments. Only the special knowledge of possible harm and of the therapeutic options may end the suffering of patients.
The dept of Traumatology has established an experienced team of physicians, physical therapists and nurses who offer continuous support from diagnosis, through surgery to post-surgical treatments, for the best patient outcomes. The range of treatments includes:
Arthroscopic treatment of impingment syndromes.
Arthroscopic decalcification.
Arthroscopic treatment of instability of the shoulder - anterior instability (for dislocation), SLAP lesion.
Plastic cover for very large rotator cuff tears.
Arthroscopic treatment of rotator cuff.
Open treatment of large rotator cuff tears.
Open stabilisation after recurrent shoulder dislocations.
Joint preserving treatment of near-joint shoulder fractures.
Shoulder arthroplasty for degenerative diseases and fractures.
Stabilisation and reconstruction of acromioclavicular blasting.
Arthrolysis and treatment of shoulder stiffness.
The goal of therapy is to restore function, pain relief and rapid return to professional sports and everyday life.
Diagnosis by specialised clinical investigation with ultrasonography, conventional radiography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Complete care of acute or severe knee injuries and fractures near the knee joint.
Arthroscopic cruciate ligament reconstructions and sculptures (anterior and posterior cruciate ligament) with absorbable implants.
Arthroscopic meniscal repair and possibly sparing partial resection.
Arthroscopically assisted cartilage transplants.
Replacement of cartilage by arthroscopic surgery (microfracturing, carbon implants).
Tumour of the knee joint prostheses
Total knee prostheses in cemented or cementless techniques.
All injuries of the hand, with reconstruction of damaged bone, tendons, blood vessels, nerves and soft tissues, including some specific diseases and their consequences.
Tumours of the hand: the removal of bone, soft tissue and skin tumours.
Care of the consequences of degenerative joint disease (osteoarthritis) of the hand: joint denervation, joint replacement, joint stiffness.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.
Outpatient procedures are performed for:
Dupuytren's contracture.
Epicondylitis (tennis elbow).
Ganglion.
Narrowing of the tendon sheath (jumping finger).
Ulnarisrinnen syndrome
