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.
Team doctor in elite sport
Ski Austria & Paralympics
As a team physician for Ski Austria, the Austrian Ski Federation, I provide medical care for elite alpine athletes during training and competition. At the 2022 Winter Paralympics in Beijing, I was chief team doctor of the Austrian Paralympic delegation, responsible for injury prevention, training optimisation and the team's medical care.
This experience also shapes my individual care of athletes and sports teams as well as Return-to-Sport management.
