Hip pain, problems in the knee joint, ankle and tarsal joint reduce quality of life and are not just a constant, painful companion, but also unnecessary.
When coming to your personal appointment in my surgery, I will examine you thoroughly and precisely. I will gladly take the time to talk to you about your medical history – thus determining exactly from what your pain and problems result and whether surgery or a prosthesis are really necessary and sensible.
In addition to implantation of artificial joints (knee, hip, ankle), I specialise in foot surgery as my second specialist field. Numerous publications and lectures on this subject prove my credentials in this sub-specialisation.
In order to determine precisely what you need and provide detailed consultation, I look forward to welcoming personally you in my office soon!

Biography
PROFESSIONAL CAREER:
Professional career:
I was born in Zell am See and studied at the Medical University of Innsbruck for 11 semesters (winning two performance scholarships each for the 2nd and 3rd sections), where I began my post-doctoral medical training in the University Department of General Surgery under Prof. Raimund Margreiter in Innsbruck in 2003.
As orthopaedics had already emerged as my preferred subject during my studies, I changed to the University Department of Orthopaedics Innsbruck (Prof. Martin Krismer) in 2005.
At the hospital in Innsbruck I was able to follow the development of the minimally invasive hip approach first-hand, before I moved to my home in Salzburg to the Paracelsus Medical University of Salzburg (Prof. U. Dorn) in 2006.
At the LKH Salzburg I had 7 years of experience with senior physician Dr Franz Landauer, an excellent mentor in the field of endoprosthetics, foot surgery and especially paediatric orthopaedics, and was allowed to lead the sports orthopaedic outpatient clinic here from 2011.
Dr Franz Landauer also taught me how immensely important it is to take patients seriously with all their fears and worries and to give them the feeling that they are in good hands.
In October 2012, I accepted the position of senior physician at the Orthopaedic Department of the Kardinal Schwarzenberg Hospital in Schwarzach under Dr Manfred Höflehner, since I, as a Pinzgau native, very much appreciate my homeland with all its beauty.
Specialty:
- Specialist in orthopaedics and orthopaedic surgery
- Conservative therapy of problems of the musculoskeletal system and the spine as well as investigation of paediatric orthopaedic issues
- Surgical treatment of the knee, hip, ankle, foot, hand, elbow and shoulder
