About the clinic
Orthopedic Surgery Munich, widely recognized as the OCM Clinic, stands as one of Europe’s premier medical institutions dedicated to the comprehensive treatment of the musculoskeletal system. Located in the Sendling district of Munich, the clinic represents a sophisticated evolution in specialized medicine, having established itself as a global leader in joint and spinal care since its inception. The facility is structured as a high-performance medical care center (MVZ), where over 20 world-class specialists collaborate to provide seamless care from initial diagnosis through surgical intervention and subsequent rehabilitation. Every year, the clinic manages an immense volume of patients, performing several thousand highly specialized surgeries that range from minimally invasive arthroscopy to complex total joint replacements. This high level of activity is underpinned by a philosophy that prioritizes individual patient needs, ensuring that every treatment plan is tailored to the specific functional requirements of the individual, whether they are a professional athlete or a patient seeking to regain mobility in daily life. The diagnostic capabilities of OCM are anchored by a state-of-the-art imaging center equipped with the latest-generation magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), and digital X-ray technology. This advanced infrastructure allows for pinpoint accuracy in identifying pathologies of the hip, knee, shoulder, foot, ankle, and spine. Despite its reputation for surgical excellence, OCM remains deeply committed to a conservative-first approach. The medical team works in a multidisciplinary fashion, integrating the expertise of specialized physiotherapists, osteopaths, and orthopedic technicians to exhaust all non-operative avenues. These conservative strategies often include innovative pain management therapies, targeted injections, shock wave therapy, and specialized sports medicine protocols designed to stimulate natural healing and restore function without the need for invasive procedures. When surgery becomes a necessity, Orthopedic Surgery Munich utilizes ultra-modern operating theaters specifically designed for orthopedic procedures, adhering to the highest standards of hygiene and technical precision. The clinic is particularly renowned for its mastery of minimally invasive techniques, which significantly reduce recovery times and postoperative discomfort. As a certified EndoProsthetics Center of maximum care, OCM is at the forefront of joint replacement technology, utilizing computer-assisted navigation and patient-specific instruments to ensure optimal implant alignment. This dedication to precision has made the clinic a top destination for elite international athletes, including Bundesliga footballers and Olympic competitors, who require the highest level of surgical expertise to return to peak performance. The patient experience at OCM extends far beyond the operating table, as the clinic provides a holistic environment that includes specialized accommodation and barrier-free facilities to cater to patients with limited mobility. The proximity and close cooperation with the Sana Klinik München-Sendling allow for high-end inpatient care when required, ensuring that patients have access to 24-hour medical supervision and professional nursing. Following surgery, the clinic’s integrated rehabilitation network ensures that patients begin their recovery journey immediately. By maintaining a constant dialogue among the operating surgeon, rehabilitation specialists, and the patient, OCM ensures a structured, monitored recovery process. This integrated approach to orthopedic health, combining diagnostic brilliance, conservative wisdom, surgical innovation, and dedicated aftercare, solidifies OCM’s position as a center of excellence in modern orthopedic medicine.

FAQ
When is surgery recommended over conservative treatment?
The OCM follows a "conservative-first" principle. Surgery is typically considered only when non-invasive methods, such as physiotherapy, targeted pain injections, or shock wave therapy, fail to provide significant pain relief or if there is a structural injury (like a complex bone fracture or complete tendon rupture) that cannot heal on its own.
What is a "Medical Care Center" (MVZ) and how does it benefit me?
OCM operates as an MVZ, bringing together over two dozen specialized physicians and radiologists under one roof. This allows for immediate interdisciplinary consultation. For example, a surgeon can review an MRI with an in-house radiologist instantly, leading to a faster and more accurate diagnosis without the need for multiple appointments across the city.
Does the clinic use minimally invasive "keyhole" surgery?
Yes. OCM specialists prioritize arthroscopic and tissue-sparing techniques. Using small incisions and specialized cameras, doctors can repair meniscal tears or rotator cuff tears with minimal damage to surrounding muscles. This typically results in less postoperative pain and a faster return to daily activities compared to traditional open surgery.
What is the "EndoProsthetics Center of Maximum Care" certification?
This is the highest level of certification for joint replacement centers in Germany. It ensures that the clinic meets strict quality standards, including a high volume of successful surgeries, the presence of highly experienced senior surgeons, and a low complication rate for hip, knee, and shoulder replacements.
Can I get both knees or hips replaced during the same surgery?
In specific cases and depending on the patient’s overall health and bone quality, OCM surgeons can perform a "simultaneous bilateral joint replacement." This allows for a single anesthesia session and one integrated rehabilitation period, though it requires a detailed pre-operative medical assessment to ensure safety.
What kind of anesthesia is used for orthopedic procedures?
Depending on the surgery, OCM uses general anesthesia, spinal anesthesia, or regional nerve blocks. For many extremity surgeries, regional blocks are preferred because they provide targeted pain relief for hours after the procedure, reducing the need for systemic painkillers and enabling earlier mobilization.
How soon does rehabilitation begin after an operation?
Rehabilitation at OCM begins almost immediately. For most joint surgeries, specialized physiotherapists start mobilization exercises within 24 hours of the procedure. This early movement is critical for preventing stiffness and reducing the risk of thrombosis (blood clots).
Which hospital is used for inpatient stays?
For procedures requiring an overnight stay, OCM works in close partnership with the Sana Klinik München-Sendling, located in the same building complex. This ensures that patients receive high-level inpatient nursing care while remaining under the direct supervision of their OCM surgeon.
