Launched on April 28, 2017, our website is now available against the new CMS Joomla 3.7. With all new systems, there are bugs that appear on the device and can be corrected. Apartment, the new plate form presents a problem with the cache of pages. Initialement, also content n'était affiché sur la page. After a reconfiguration approach, the content of the page is now published. Cependant, des problems d'affichage semblent persister. Nous travaillons activement à résoudre ce problem.
Nous espérons néanmoins que la new plateforme apportera des bénéfices.
In recent months, inquiries about shoulder surgeries have increased dramatically. More and more colleagues are sending us their specific shoulder cases for surgical treatment.
The shoulder is a very specialized joint. For more than 10 years, my focus has been on shoulder surgery. This specialization is necessary to have the necessary routine to correctly treat even complex cases.
True to the saying "Quality prevails," more and more medical colleagues are sending us their patients for shoulder surgery.
Unfortunately, this has forced us to cancel our Tuesday consultation hours more frequently. To reduce our waiting list, we operated every Tuesday until late afternoon in March. We will also cancel our consultation hours on some Tuesdays in April and May to ensure sufficient surgical capacity for our patients.
Today, our staff decorated the Christmas tree in the foyer of our practice.
You can tell from the pictures that everyone had a great time.
On January 1, 2016, the Employers' Liability Insurance Association (Berufsgenossenschaft) launched the "Team Physician Procedure" model project for the care of professional athletes. As part of holistic sports medical care, the duties of the M-doctor include implementing and coordinating measures for sustainable injury prevention within the sports club. All therapeutic measures should be initiated by the M-doctor in close coordination with the VBG's rehabilitation management.
After fulfilling all the requirements for participation in this model project, I will complete one final course at the VBG in Berlin from December 14 to 15, 2016. Afterward, I will officially be an M-doctor.
A new, large-scale scientific study from August 2016 found that ultrasound-guided needle lavage combined with a cortisone injection is the "treatment of choice" for the conservative treatment of calcific tendonitis. No other treatment has had such good results as ultrasound-guided needle lavage.
In a comprehensive meta-analysis, 920 scientific studies on calcific tendon therapy were reviewed. The most stringent scientific criteria were applied in the selection of included studies. As a result, only seven studies ultimately met the researchers' high quality criteria.
The aim of the study was to find out which conservative therapy, i.e. non-surgical therapy, is the best for treating calcific tendonitis while at the same time entailing low risk.
The following therapies were available in the selected studies:
In addition, the combination of the individual therapies was examined.
Criteria for treatment success were:
The results of the study are not only clear but also very impressive.
The best therapy for treating calcific shoulder is ultrasound-guided needle lavage followed by cortisone injection!
This corresponds to the therapy we have been using routinely to treat calcific shoulder since 2008. Over the past eight years, we have successfully treated more than 3,000 patients.
The new study confirms the success of this therapy, while simultaneously minimizing risk. Why ultrasound-guided needle lavage therapy has not yet gained widespread acceptance in Germany is a mystery to me.
