As part of the cooperation between the Helios ENDO-Klinik Hamburg and the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf (UKE), which was launched on April 1, 2025, the specialist clinic for joint replacement and spinal surgery was able to recruit three outstanding doctors from the UKE. The three surgeons not only bring extensive expertise and many years of experience in their specialist field, but also strengthen the area of teaching and research in particular.
