Prof. Thomas Dreher is the new Chief of Pediatric Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery at the Zurich University Children’s Hospital and is also assuming responsibility as the Head of Pediatric Orthopaedics at Balgrist University Hospital. This appointment will strengthen pediatric orthopaedics in Zurich: the Children’s Hospital and Balgrist University Hospital will be working together even more closely.
We usually treat infants and children with additional diseases or underlying neurological conditions at the Children’s Hospital. If surgery is necessary, a highly specialized multidisciplinary team stands ready to provide care that best meets the child’s needs. The cutting-edge facilities at Balgrist provide all other child and adolescent patients with inpatient and ambulatory care perfectly orientated to their orthopaedic requirements.
Pediatric orthopaedics at the Children’s Hospital and Balgrist works in close cooperation with national and international networks, so that we can offer your child optimal state-of-the-art treatment.
We treat congenital and acquired deformities, fractures, and post-traumatic deformities in children and adolescents. We also treat sports injuries, painful conditions and infections of the entire musculoskeletal system and offer neuro-orthopaedics for children, adolescents, and adults.
The entire spectrum of pediatric orthopaedic and trauma surgery is covered by the team at the Zurich Children’s Hospital led by senior consultant Prof. Thomas Dreher (orthopaedics, neuro-orthopaedics) and consultant Dr. Christoph Aufdenblatten (trauma surgery and sports orthopaedics). Dedicated outpatient clinics for children and adolescents are held at Balgrist University Hospital to look at specific problems together with the specialist team.
