Orthopaedics PLUS Excellent care all round. Even in old age or with co-morbidities
Schulthess Klinik has designed the “Orthopaedics PLUS” treatment concept specifically for patients of an advanced age and/or with co-morbidities. As part of the Orthopaedics PLUS concept, patients receive care perfectly tailored to them from both the orthopaedics and internal medicine departments with a view to holistic treatment.
Everyone needs to be able to move in a healthy and pain-free manner, regardless of how old they are and whether they suffer from other illnesses. Depending on the situation, orthopaedic treatments can significantly improve quality of life. With age and co-morbidities, however, the risks of needing surgical intervention increase and so do people’s concerns about such procedures. Comprehensive, safe and individual support therefore needs to be provided for any impending hospital stay.
Is this how you feel too? If so, our “Orthopaedics PLUS” treatment concept is just the thing for you. After all, orthopaedic patients with internal diseases (such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, respiratory diseases, etc.) require both orthopaedic and internal care to ensure rapid results and the best possible treatment outcome. Close cooperation with your general practitioner is another important cornerstone of our comprehensive care.
Interdisciplinary, coordinated care
Schulthess Klinik has been coordinating care involving our specialists in Orthopaedics and Internal Medicine for many years. The “Orthopaedics PLUS” treatment concept now takes this collaboration a step further, enabling our specialists to work hand in hand to provide our patients with interdisciplinary care. This includes orthopaedics and internal medicine staff doing joint ward rounds, following clearly defined processes and having specially trained experts, nurses and physiotherapists on hand. This means that you as a patient will receive comprehensive treatment tailored to your concomitant illnesses and needs.
