Clinical focus

Paediatric orthopaedic surgeon focusing on axis correction, limb elongation, and congenital and acquired defects.

About me

I am an internationally trained paediatric orthopaedic surgeon specialising in paediatric and adolescent orthopaedics, axis correction, limb lengthening, and congenital and acquired defects. I have extensive experience at the Vienna Orthopaedic Hospital and have expanded my knowledge at the International Center for Limb Lengthening and Reconstruction in Baltimore, USA, and the Ilizarov Center in Kurgan, Russia. I lecture on these topics at annual conferences and train surgeons worldwide in these techniques. I have also implemented the Ponseti method for clubfoot treatment.
