Treatment of shoulder, elbow and hand

Under this ambition, three experts Prof. Dr. med. univ. Mark Tauber, Prof. Dr. med. Frank Martetschläger and Dr. Claus J. Deglmann have joined forces to form the Center for Upper Extremity in order to jointly cover the areas of shoulder, elbow und hand.

Since some injuries and medical conditions are not limited to the shoulder, elbow, wrist or hand, they affect the entire upper extremity. An overarching view of these three areas of the human body, is in the diagnosis and therapy a great advantage for patients to be able to initiate the best possible healing success.

The specialized knowledge and many years of experience in these areas means that patients can find a competent, multidisciplinary team of experts under one roof, who take care of all problems of the upper extremity and provide the best possible treatment. Patients also benefit from knowledge sharing and interdisciplinary discussions of complicated cases. The specialists have access to state-of-the-art technology and the best infrastructure of the ATOS Klinik München.
