Bernhard Heimkes (born May 11, 1950 in Munich ) is a German medic. He is the medical director of the Integration Center for Cerebral Palsy, Munich.

Life

Heimkes grew up in Munich and attended a Munich high school, which he left in 1969 with the Abitur. From 1971 to 1979 he studied physics and human medicine at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich . He completed his dissertation on the subject of overheade extension in the conservative treatment of so-called congenital hip dislocation at the Orthopedic Polyclinic of the University of Munich. From 1979 to 1980 Heimkes was a surgical assistant doctor in the Diakonissenanstalt Munich and in the Fürstenfeldbruck district hospital . In 1980 he moved to the University of Munich Clinic , where he subsequently worked as an assistant doctor in the Orthopedic Polyclinic in the city center and in the State Orthopedic Clinic in Munich. The specialist approval and appointment as senior physician of the Orthopedic Polyclinic Inner City was granted in 1985. This was followed in 1992 with the habilitation with the topic Contribution to the growth of the coxal end of the femur . After a two-year orthopedic consultation service in the inner city clinic of the University of Munich with simultaneous operative activity in the Großhadern clinic, Heimkes became head of the pediatric orthopedics department at the Schwabing clinic in Munich in 1999 . From 2003 to 2015 he was in charge of pediatric orthopedics at the Clinic and Polyclinic for Orthopedics, Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (Director: Volkmar Jansson ) at the University of Munich Clinic, Großhadern Campus. Due to his achievements in research and teaching, he was appointed adjunct professor there in 2005 . Since 2015 he has been the medical director of the Integration Center for Cerebral Palsy ( ICP Foundation Munich ) and from 2016 to the end of November 2019 was head of the pediatric orthopedics section in the Clinic for Pediatric Surgery, Clinic Third Order , Munich, where he continues to work as a doctor.

Focus

Prof. Heimkes' clinical focus is the conservative and operative therapy of childhood hip diseases as well as neuro-orthopedic diseases with a focus on cerebral palsy .

His main research interests are general mechanobiology, biomechanics of the child's hip, the physiological and pathological growth of the hip, surgical procedures on the child's hip, and neuro-orthopedics with a focus on cerebral palsy. From 1992 he developed the so-called clustered pillar concept with anatomist Peter Posel and biomechanic Wolfgang Plitz , in which the force distribution and morphology of the hip joint are recalculated and older biomechanical models are supplemented. From 2002 he developed a modification of the Salter pelvic osteotomy, which allows this procedure, which is primarily described for children and adolescents, to be used in adults with less risk.
