Revolution in BKH Lienz: orthopedics and trauma surgery united!
BKH Lienz, Lienz, Österreich - am BKH Lienz will be implemented in medical care from January 1, 2025: The separate departments for trauma surgery and orthopedics are merged into the new "Department of Orthopedic Traumatology". This is done in accordance with legal requirements that are already in effect in larger clinics such as Innsbruck and Graz. The management of the new department will take over the previous head of trauma surgery, Primar Eduard Sporer, while orthopedic senior physician Herbert Strobl retires. In 2022, trauma surgery at the BKH Lienz treated 29,946 patients outpatient and 2,457, which illustrates the need for a more efficient structure, as dolomitenstadt reported.
comprehensive treatment options
The new facility will cover the entire range of orthopedic and trauma surgery and relies on the latest, minimally invasive surgical methods. The services include the treatment of bone breaks, arthroscopic operations and the endoprosthetic supply of hip, knee and shoulder joints. The BKH Lienz guarantees that these treatments will be continued to the usual extent. The department will have 38 station beds and several Taeirurgical beds and offers an emergency surgery emergency service around the clock, supported by an orthopedic traumatological aftercare outpatient clinic, as was explained in the communication of the BKH Lienz.
In addition to the department head, ten senior physicians, five assistant doctors and a ward doctor for patient care are active in the new department. The medical director Hansjörg Marsoner sees considerable synergies in merger, which will promote the professional and scientific exchange between the two disciplines. The integration of these departments is considered an important step to improve patient care, while the Citizens' Hospital Frankfurt, for his part, looks back on a broad experience in trauma surgery, as is to be found on the website of Bürgerhospital Frankfurt| Details | |
