Orthopedic surgeon • Management of bone sarcoma (such as Osteosarcoma and Ewing's sarcoma), soft tissue sarcoma, and gastrointestinal stroma tumors (GIST) and germ cell tumors (testicular cancer) in adolescents and adults is my unique key competence.
I am a licensed orthopedic trauma surgeon focused on knee injuries. I am an expert on reconstructive knee surgery including knee ligaments and arthroscopic surgery of the meniscus and cartilage. Annually, I perform 300 reconstructions of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and more than 300 arthroscopic knee procedures. I am also active in the field of meniscus and cartilage regeneration with minimally invasive methods.

I am the team physician for the Austrian Skiing Team (ÖSV), two ice hockey teams (SV Arminen, Post SV), the Austrian Soccer Board, the American football team Danube Dragons. In the past I was the team physician for the Austrian Tennis Federation and the Austrian Badminton Federation.
