Adj. Professor Dr. Aristotelis Kaisidis

The Clinic for Shoulder Surgery at the Maingau Red Cross Clinic under the direction of Prof. Dr. Kaisidis is characterized by a holistic clinic structure. The highly specialized team includes not only the head physician himself, but also senior physicians, secretaries, technical assistants, nursing staff on the ward and in the operating theatre, as well as physiotherapists and social services. All members specialize in shoulder treatments, thereby leading to effective and patient-oriented care. The clinic relies not only on proven methods, but also on innovative approaches. The surgical method developed and patented by Prof. Dr. Kaisidis using the Kaisidis plate is a prime example of minimal invasiveness and high effectiveness. This method is used successfully for various tendon ruptures and fractures, and has proven to be extremely effective. Although considered extremely unusual during the lifetime of a developer, this plate bears the name of the chief physician (Kaisidis plate).

The Clinic for Shoulder Surgery possesses state-of-the-art surgical equipment and instruments, which are constantly being updated to reflect the latest technological developments. In addition to surgical procedures, the shoulder specialists are also proficient in modern conservative treatment approaches. The state-of-the-art equipment includes high-energy laser devices, orthopaedic neuromuscular treatment devices, a Myoline system, ultrasound therapies, various shock wave therapies, electrotherapies and top-class EMG diagnostics. Individualized therapy programs are created to promote flexibility, mobility, muscle strength, endurance and body awareness.

The latest highlight: Autologous fat stem cell therapy (SVF).

One pioneering aspect of the clinic's work is the modern SVF (Stromal Vascular Fraction) autologous fat stem cell therapy. Prof. Dr. Kaisidis emphasizes its effectiveness for osteoarthritis, soft tissue defects and other shoulder problems. This promising cocktail of cells is obtained from lipo-suctioned body fat. The fatty tissue is centrifuged several times and treated with special solutions to extract the cells. In doing so, the body's own resources can be used in a natural way to enable improved regeneration and healing.

The Clinic for Shoulder Surgery under the direction of Prof. Dr. Aristotelis Kaisidis sets the highest standards for optimal shoulder care. Patients can be confident that their well-being is the key focus, and the dedicated team strives to alleviate pain and restore quality of life. The clinic performs around 700 shoulder operations of varying degrees of difficulty every year, from simple shoulder arthroscopies to complex procedures such as shoulder prostheses and tendon transfers. This broad range of expertise enables us to successfully treat a comprehensive range of shoulder pathologies. With around 5,000 outpatient contacts with shoulder patients per year, the clinic has achieved a nationwide record of performance. This high number of outpatient cases underlines the significant demand and the trust that patients place in the clinic's expertise. The extensive experience resulting from this high number of cases makes the clinic's specialists sought-after contacts for well-founded, medical second opinions on shoulder pathologies and the various treatment options.
