<br />
'''Max Schede''' (7 January 1844 – 31 December 1902) was a prominent German [[surgeon]] known for his contributions to the field of [[surgery]] and his innovative techniques in [[orthopedic surgery]]. He was a professor and a pioneer in the development of surgical methods that significantly improved patient outcomes during his time.<br />
<br />
==Early Life and Education==<br />
Max Schede was born in [[Arnsberg]], [[Province of Westphalia]], [[Kingdom of Prussia]]. He pursued his medical studies at the [[University of Bonn]], where he developed a keen interest in surgery. Schede furthered his education at the [[University of Berlin]], where he was influenced by leading surgeons of the time.<br />
<br />
==Career==<br />
Schede began his medical career as an assistant to the renowned surgeon [[Bernhard von Langenbeck]] in Berlin. His early work focused on the treatment of bone and joint diseases, which laid the foundation for his later innovations in orthopedic surgery.<br />
<br />
In 1875, Schede was appointed as a professor of surgery at the [[University of Basel]], where he continued his research and teaching. He later moved to the [[University of Bonn]] and then to the [[University of Hamburg]], where he became the director of the surgical clinic.<br />
<br />
==Contributions to Surgery==<br />
Max Schede is best known for his development of the "Schede's method" for the treatment of [[tuberculosis]] of the bones and joints. This method involved the removal of diseased tissue and the application of antiseptic techniques to prevent infection, which was revolutionary at the time.<br />
<br />
Schede also made significant contributions to the field of [[thoracic surgery]]. He was one of the first surgeons to perform successful operations on the [[pleura]] and [[lungs]], which paved the way for modern thoracic surgical techniques.<br />
<br />
==Innovations and Techniques==<br />
Schede introduced several innovative surgical techniques, including the use of plaster casts for immobilizing fractures and the development of new methods for [[amputation]]. His work in [[aseptic technique]]s helped reduce the incidence of postoperative infections, improving patient survival rates.<br />
<br />
==Legacy==<br />
