Core Tasks
The Department of Orthopaedic Surgery provides treatment of disorders in the musculoskeletal system (arms, legs and back), disorders caused by injury, disease or as a consequence of congenital disorders. The Department is organised in a number of specialist areas which separately provide treatment at basic level as well as highly specialised level. The Department has a regional function for the whole of southern Denmark. Information about treatments, waiting times and care is provided under the specific specialist areas.
The Department has university status and provides teaching to medical students and physicians. Moreover, the Department participates in the training/education of nurses, radiographers, and social and healthcare assistants as well as in the training/education of medical secretaries.
The Department is affiliated to a professorship. The Department runs the Accident Analysis Group which performs injury registration and conducts analyses.
