I perform\napproximately 300 surgeries per year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through intensive\nresearch and my clinical and surgical focus, I have subspecialized in\ncongenital and acquired deformities, clubfoot, and limb lengthening. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to my many years of clinical and surgical experience at the Department of Pediatric Orthopedics and Foot and Ankle Surgery at the Orthopedic Hospital Speising, I have expanded my know-how and skills at the renowned International Center f\u00fcr Limb Lengthening and Reconstruction in Baltimore<\/a>, Maryland, USA, and at the Ilizarov Centre in Kurgan<\/a>, Russia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many complex multidimensional deformities are corrected with a modern software-controlled external fixation frame (Taylor spatial frame<\/a>; Smith & Nephew, Memphis, Tennessee, USA). I have been training surgeons from different countries in using this technique since 2004. Additionally, I have been teaching the principles of deformity correction and limb lengthening at workshops and courses worldwide for many years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2013, I have been\nperforming limb lengthening with the Precice limb lengthening nail (NuVasive,\nInc., San Diego, California, USA). Because of the\nhigh number of cases I treat each year and because of my previous experience\nwith lengthening nails, I have been involved in training and teaching Precice\nlimb lengthening. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Foot deformities<\/a> are another scientific and clinical focus of my specialization. As early as 1999, I was introduced to the Ponseti method by my mentor Dr. John Herzenberg in Baltimore, Maryland, USA. In 2002, after visiting Dr. Ponseti in Iowa, I introduced this technique at the Orthopedic Hospital Speising,<\/a> which made us one of the first centers in Europe offering the Ponseti method. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because of my extensive experience and the large number of patients who come to me from Austria and our neighboring countries for treatment, I offer vast expertise in clubfoot treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Based on my research\nand experience, I serve as faculty and speaker at different pediatric\northopedic courses, workshops, and meetings every year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was appointed\nAssociate Professor of Orthopedics at the Medical University of Vienna in 2012\nand was appointed Associate Visiting Professor of Shanghai Jiao Tong University\nSchool of Medicine, Shanghai, China, in 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to my\nboard certification for \u201cOrthopedics and Orthopedic Surgery\u201d I became board-certified\nin 2018 for the new specialty \u201cOrthopedics and Traumatology\u201d that was\nintroduced in Austria in 2015. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the doctors’\nranking presented by the business magazine Trend<\/em>\n(published by Verlagsgruppe NEWS;\nVienna, Austria), I was voted one of the best orthopedic surgeons in the\ncountry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
