Diagnostics

D3A: Analysis of bone structure for improved diagnosis of osteoporosis

Digitales xray

Ultrasound: for example, the child’s hip during the Mutter-Kind-Pass examination; Shoulder; another application is ultrasound-guided injection.

Chirodiagnostics (manual examination): This enables diagnoses of movement disorders of the joints in the spine and extremities, as well as tension of muscles and connective tissue.

Orthopaedic diagnostics

• Initial physical examination
• Detailed patient interviews
• Joint and spine function test
• Sports medical examinations
• Pre-operative evaluation, registration for surgery, operations, post-operative care

Infant and young child orthopaedics

• Monitoring spinal development
• Infant screening
• Examination and conservative treatment of leg and foot deformity
• Control and correction of gait

Ultrasound examinations of the hip joints of infants

• The ultrasound examination of infant hips during the 1st year and from ages 3 to 6. week of life has been able to almost eliminate completely the dreaded hip dysplasia (a malformation of the hip socket and head) as a disease. This examination is now part of the preventive program

Rheumatologic diagnostics (Dr. Klaus Machold)

• Comprehensive neuro-musculoskeletal examination
• Internal medicine diagnosis and therapy planning
• Interpretation of laboratory testing and diagnostic imaging, especially for complex internal medicine/rheumatology issues
