Training & research
About me
As a specialist in orthopaedics and trauma surgery, I focus on the diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal conditions and injuries, ranging from conservative therapy to surgical treatment.
I completed my medical and specialist training in Munich, Hall in Tirol and at Innsbruck University Hospital. A particular focus of my scientific work is biomechanics, including research at the Biomechanics Laboratory of the Medical University of Innsbruck and a PhD in knee biomechanics. My scientific work includes numerous publications in international peer-reviewed journals as well as teaching at the Medical University of Innsbruck.
Sports orthopaedics & knee surgery
My focus
My clinical and surgical focus is on sports orthopaedics and knee surgery, particularly arthroscopic and reconstructive surgery and the treatment of sports injuries.
As a team physician for the Austrian Ski Federation (ÖSV), I provide medical care for elite alpine athletes during training and competition. This experience also shapes my individual care of athletes and sports teams as well as Return-to-Sport management.
