A strong network for traumatology
The challenges in traumatology are particularly great, which is why good cooperation is essential. In Salzburg and the neighboring regions - including Upper Austria, Tyrol, Styria and Bavaria - between 450 and 500 people are treated in the shock room every year after serious accidents. Salk empty that the Salzburg dream network, founded in 2014, pursues an innovative and effective strategy with more than 90 percent chances of survival after serious accidents. This is based on a graded supply, clearly defined relocation strategies and continuous agreements between those involved.
The network comprises two national trauma centers: the Salzburg University Hospital and the Salzburg accident hospital. The Innsbruck University Clinic has also been part of the network since 2024, while regional trauma centers such as the Cardinal Schwarzenberg Clinic and other facilities in Braunau and Tamsweg play an important role.
Innovative treatment methods
In the area of orthopedics, the entire spectrum of conservative and operational diseases are covered in the Salzburg accident hospital. The Salzburg Ortho Team informs that the goals are clear diagnoses and individual therapy plans. Various conservative therapies are used, from pain treatment to infiltrations to non-operative methods such as shock wave and hyaluronta therapies.
But surgical medicine is not neglected either: keyhole surgery for large joints such as hips and knees as well as specialized endoprosthetic care are important parts of the treatment spectrum. Joint replacement is viewed as a last resort to help patients achieve a better quality of life and freedom from pain.
The coming months will be an exciting time for Dr. Thomas Hausner and his future tasks in the Salzburg accident hospital. His predecessors, including OA Dr. Thomas Beer, who will take over the management of the Brigittenau location in Vienna, laid the foundation stone. The positions in Vienna will soon be filled - with the aim of the new occupation in early 2026.
