sporthopaedicum Berlin

sporthopaedicum Berlin is a highly specialised orthopaedic and surgical centre for the treatment of sports injuries and joint disorders. In keeping with the centre’s guiding philosophy, ‘Expertise through specialisation’, our doctors aim to provide treatment tailored to each individual patient and achieve the best possible outcome. International athletes, Olympic competitors and members of national teams trust our centre’s reputation for excellent care and successful treatment outcomes. More than 30,000 patients and over 4,300 procedures each year. Our doctors are regularly included in the lists of Germany’s leading medical specialists published by FOCUS and STERN magazines.

sporthopaedicum offers state-of-the-art facilities and an ‘everything under one roof’ service: digital radiography, cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), ultrasound, an on-site medical supply centre and a partner hotel. Biological treatment options are also available, including plasma therapy and cartilage regeneration. The clinic also has a centre for functional assessment and rehabilitation (see rehathleticum).

Our principle is expertise through specialisation. Years of focused experience with a single joint make a genuine difference. This expertise helps the surgeon identify what an MRI scan alone cannot reveal and determine when surgery is the right course of action — and when it is not. International athletes and members of national teams choose sporthopaedicum’s treatment approach: a structured return to full mobility. Every patient at our centre is treated by the same surgeons and to the same standard of care.
