Competences
Physical activity is an important component of a healthy lifestyle. As part of his sports medicine care, Dr. Rembeck supports both international top athletes and dedicated recreational athletes. Sports orthopedics forms the foundation of his work. Through many years of intensive care in professional sports, Dr. Rembeck has a profound basis in high-performance medicine. The insights and standards gained there are pioneering for his entire spectrum of treatment:
Derivation of modern therapies: Innovative treatment approaches from the professional sector are directly transferred to therapy for amateur athletes.
Precise diagnostics: In order to detect injuries early and treat them professionally, Dr. Rembeck relies on state-of-the-art diagnostic procedures.
Individual rehabilitation: In addition to acute treatment, an precisely tailored rehabilitation plays a decisive role in the success of recovery.
The knee joint is a complex joint. Muscles, ligaments, tendons, capsule, meniscus, cartilage, and bone work closely together to provide both stability and mobility. If this interaction is disrupted due to wear and tear, incorrect loading, or injuries, discomfort can arise. Dr. Rembeck specializes in the treatment of knee conditions and has extensive experience in this field, stemming from around 40,000 knee surgeries over the last thirty years. However, surgery is not always necessary. Many knee problems can be successfully treated with modern conservative therapies. If surgery is required, it is usually minimally invasive and performed with high precision. The goal is to restore joint function as quickly as possible and relieve discomfort.
All joints undergo age-related changes over the course of life. These changes begin after growth is complete and are initially a normal process that is not yet considered osteoarthritis. Only when these changes cause symptoms is it medically referred to as osteoarthritis. In osteoarthritis, the joint cartilage that covers the joint surfaces wears away. This cartilage performs important functions:
The surface ensures smooth, low-friction movement.
It is resistant to stress, for example during jumps or abrupt movements.
It acts as a shock absorber and protects the underlying bones.
In addition, it is designed to remain resilient for many years.
When these properties are compromised, it is referred to as joint wear and tear. This is often accompanied by symptoms, even if pain does not always occur. At this stage, osteoarthritis is present.
Cartilage damage is one of the most common orthopedic conditions. Many people are affected by it in the course of their lives, as age-related wear and tear of the joint cartilage is a natural process. Younger, physically active people can also develop cartilage damage at an early stage. If cartilage damage is detected in time, there are good treatment options. The aim of therapy is to relieve symptoms and delay long-term damage for as long as possible. An important foundation for this is the combination of medical experience and the use of modern medical procedures.
