As an orthopaedic surgeon and trauma surgeon in our region, I specialise in the treatment of acute injuries to the musculoskeletal system and their consequences. These range from surgical and non-surgical treatment methods to joint replacement. Choosing the best individual treatment plan for my patients, supporting them throughout their treatment and ultimately improving their quality of life are the cornerstones of my treatment approach.
