Traumatology and Reconstructive Surgery (CC 9)

Information on the Centrum

The CharitéCentrum 9 for Traumatology and Reconstructive Surgery has departments on three campuses: Campus Mitte, Campus Virchow-Klinikum and Campus Benjamin Franklin and covers the entire conservative and operative spectrum of orthopedics, traumatology and reconstructive surgery including minimally invasive and bioreconstructive procedures.  State-of-the-art three-dimensional computer-assisted, navigated arthroscopic surgical techniques are applied in all three locations.

The Department of Traumatology and Reconstructive Surgery (including Orthopedic Surgery) focuses on pelvic surgery, geriatric traumatology and especially on the treatment of patients with severe or multiple lesions as well as sports injuries, endoprosthetics of large joints particularly revision surgery and spinal surgery for all types of lesions, deformations and tumors.The German Research Foundation (DFG)-supported Collaborative Research Center 760 “Biomechanics and Biological Musculosceletal Regeneration” examines the molecular and physical mechanisms primarily involved in the regeneration of biologically and mechanically competent bones.

The Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (including ENT) focuses on reconstructive plastic facial surgery, facial epithetics, the treatment of cleft lips and palates, cochlear implantations and children’s ENT problems. 

Ten years ago, the first engineering scientific chair for clinical navigation and robotics in Germany was established at the Charité and works in close cooperation with the Fraunhofer Institute for Production Facilities and Construction Technology in Berlin at the Berliner Zentrum für Mechatronische Medizintechnik.
