At our department, you receive treatment in line with the latest medical findings following a thorough individual consultation. Through international networks and extensive research, we have access to a great database of knowledge and guarantee the best possible care for our patients in a patient-centered network of departments, institutes and external partners.
Included in our field of treatment are diseases of the musculoskeletal system, i.e., of the bones, joints, ligaments, muscles and tendons, as well as fresh injuries, polytrauma, sports injuries and consequences of injuries to the musculoskeletal system.
Our department is divided into nine sections that cover the orthopedic traumatology spectrum, and in each of them our patients receive high-quality medical treatment from experts.
We care for around 55,500 patients in our outpatient clinics every year. 96 beds are available for inpatients treated at our department. The 5,000 operations performed annually take place in new state-of-the-art operating rooms. Under certain circumstances, they may also be performed at the department's own day hospital.
The uniqueness and the added value of our department are the result of the symbiosis between patient care, research and education. The department is jointly operated by the Medical University of Graz and the Styrian Hospital Association (KAGes). This interdisciplinary cooperation between both providers at the University Hospital Graz site is also reflected on our website. More information on patient care can be found at the University Hospital Graz website.
Der 2023 publizierte Jahresbericht des Deutschen Polytraumaregisters weist die Univ.-Klinik für Orthopädie und Traumatologie Graz als drittgrößtes Polytraumazentrum des deutschsprachigen Bereichs aus – bei 694 teilnehmenden Kliniken. Auch dieses Jahr sind in Graz signifikant weniger Patienten*innen verstorben, als aufgrund des Schweregrades der Verletzungen zu erwarten war. Dies spricht für das Grazer Universitätsklinikum und ist eindrucksvolles Zeichen einer exzellenten Kooperation aller internen und externen Partner*innen!
The Department of Orthopaedics and Trauma at the Medical University of Graz has been appointed a center of expertise for malignant bone and soft tissue tumors by the Federal Ministry of Social Affairs, Health, Care and Consumer Protection (BMSGPK).
In der Symbiose aus Patient*innenbetreuung, Forschung und Lehre liegt die Einzigartigkeit und der Mehrwert unserer Universitätsklinik. Daher wird die Klinik gemeinsam von der Medizinischen Universität Graz und der Steiermärkischen Krankenanstaltengesellschaft m.b.H. betrieben. Diese interdisziplinäre Zusammenarbeit zwischen den beiden Träger*innen am Standort LKH-Universitätsklinikum Graz spiegelt sich auch auf unserer Website wider. Weitere Informationen über die Patient*innenbetreuung finden Sie auf der Website des LKH-Universitätsklinikums Graz.
