Kinderorthopädie Lübeck

Kinderorthopädie-Zentrum Lübeck is a specialist practice focused on the assessment and treatment of disorders affecting children’s and adolescents’ bones, joints, muscles and movement. Led by Dr. Barbara Behnke and Dr. Gesa Klein, the centre provides care tailored to each child’s development, working closely with parents and, when needed, paediatricians, therapists and other specialists.

Its services include medical history-taking, physical examinations, review of previous findings, growth monitoring and follow-up for scoliosis. The practice assesses and treats conditions such as foot and hip deformities, spinal and posture problems, limb alignment issues, developmental hip disorders, growth-related pain and orthopaedic concerns associated with neurological or rheumatic conditions. Diagnostic services include ultrasound and, where necessary, X-rays using child-specific filters.

Treatment may involve observation, therapeutic planning, orthopaedic aids or surgery when appropriate. The team also plans and monitors custom supports, including insoles, foot and ankle orthoses, scoliosis braces, prostheses, seating systems and wheelchairs. For children who need ongoing care, the centre aims to support quality of life and participation through coordinated, long-term treatment.
