Axel Hillmann

Prof. Dr. med. Axel Hillmann is a leading specialist in orthopedics and traumatology, specializing in rotationplasty, a surgical procedure for removing tumors from the leg that allows greater mobility and a problem-free everyday life. Rotationplasty is an alternative to limb-sparing surgery, and Prof. Hillmann has experience with this procedure in the hip, shoulder, and distal femur locations. After the procedure, there is the need to train both the body and the brain, as the impulse that would normally control the ankle now moves the prosthesis that replaces the lower leg.

Prof. Dr. med. Axel Hillmann - Head of the Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology and leading spesialist at the Center for Sarcoma and Musculoskeletal Tumors.

Prof. Hillmann masters a complex surgical procedure that allows patients to have greater mobility and a problem-free everyday life after a tumor removal on the leg: rotationplasty.

Rotationplasty is an alternative surgical procedure to limb sparing surgery. It is most commonly advocated for young patients with bone cancer. It has been undertaken in older patients and in other skeletal locations such as the hip and shoulder. For distal femoral tumours it involves removing the section of cancerous bone.

After such an operation, however, not only the body, but also the brain must be trained. Because the impulse, which is actually responsible for the ankle, now moves the prosthesis, which replaces the lower leg.
