Germany takes a leading role in terms of medical education, medical standards and hospital quality management. German medical research and innovative technology are of the highest standard. Compromises in quality and safety are not compatible with the German culture and work ethic. Due to a long and broad education, German orthopedic surgeons are extremely well trained in the fields of conservative and osteopathic treatment. They have a deep understanding of the bio-mechanics of joints, prosthesis and mobility, with a thorough understanding of nonsurgical ostheopathic and physiotherapeutic therapy. This training gives German orthopedic surgeons the ability to preserve as much of patients natural bones and tissues as possible. The underlying cause of pain and immobility is treated with the smallest possible intervention. Minimally invasive surgical techniques, partial prosthesis and inlays are commonly used instead of total knee and hip replacements and are performed with precision. This preserves mobility and a quick recovery after surgery.
