We examine and treat musculoskeletal injuries, disorders, tumors, congenital defects, and disorders of skeletal development.  We perform approximately 500 pediatric fracture procedures each year under general anesthesia. There are approximately 6,000 pediatric orthopedic appointments every year. 

Pediatric orthopedic surgeons work in close cooperation with other pediatric surgical disciplines, such as general pediatric surgeons and thoracic surgeons. Multi-professional competence provides excellent prerequisites for the implementation of demanding orthopedic treatment.  

Our international research collaboration is extensive and supports the adoption of the latest methods and improves treatment results. Pediatric orthopedic surgeons  also visit domestic and foreign hospitals to support surgical treatment.
