After 30 years as an orthopaedic and trauma surgeon, my enthusiasm for the subject and for working with my patients remains undiminished. The possibility of being able to help people with significant limitations to their quality of life through advice and treatment is a constant incentive. The informed patient, who supports the treatment in dialogue with his doctor, is my goal.

Specialist areas shoulder and elbow surgery:
I cover the entire field of shoulder surgery – from diagnostic arthroscopy, tendon sutures, stabilising procedures (open and arthroscopic), treatment of fractures to shoulder prostheses.
Elbow surgery includes open and arthroscopic procedures, such as the removal of free joint bodies. Due to my many years of work as a team doctor for top teams in football and handball, I naturally also cover the entire remaining spectrum of sports medicine.
Most of the interventions are performed on an inpatient basis. As a rule, one night of inpatient stay after a procedure is sufficient. Of course, this does not apply to prosthetic surgery and the treatment of complicated fractures.
