About the clinic

Helios Hospital Kiel is a modern medical center offering first-class orthopedics and surgical services for local and international patients. Founded in 1970 as the Waldwiese Klinikum, the institution has grown into a specialist clinic with more than 40 specialists performing surgical procedures. The clinic is located in the seaside city of Kiel, often called the main gateway to the Baltic Sea. The qualified team of doctors in the Kiel Clinic treats more than 2,700 inpatients and 1,300 outpatients annually. Thanks to their successful experience, surgeons perform about 4,500 operations per year. The clinic has 60 beds in bright rooms with a new renovation. Each room includes a TV, radio, Wi-Fi, and a bathroom. Hospital Kiel has an excellent technical infrastructure, including six modern operating rooms with navigation systems, surgical microscopes, MRI, and CT. The clinic's operational activities are arthroscopy, arthroplasty, and hand and foot surgery. Doctors use surgical interventions only after all options for conservative surgery have been exhausted. Moreover, doctors offer alternative therapies, including acupuncture, osteopathy, and chiropractic. Many patients who have received, for example, an artificial hip or an artificial knee undergo a rehabilitation course after their stay in the hospital. Doctors pay special attention to hospital hygiene. One of the tasks of the hospital hygiene team is to record and evaluate pathogens and nosocomial infections and educate hospital staff. The Helios Kiel Hospital includes the departments of general surgery and vascular surgery, neurosurgery and orthopedics, trauma surgery, physiotherapy, and plastic and reconstructive surgery. Doctors, therapists, and nursing staff of the hospital have been trained in orthopedics, rehabilitation medicine, and sports medicine and have many years of experience treating patients who have just undergone surgery. Together with the Helios Dump Clinic, the medical team has developed a follow-up treatment concept specifically for patients with orthopedic conditions. The range of treatments ranges from physiotherapy to respiratory therapy, cardiovascular gymnastics, manual therapy, gait training, and manual lymphatic drainage.
