As a sports surgeon specializing in knee and shoulder injuries, with more than 30 years of professional experience at the University Clinic for Trauma Surgery in Vienna, as Chief Medical Officer for the 2008 UEFA European Championship and the 2014 American Football World Cup, as Medical Director of the Vienna City Marathon (2009–2020), and as team physician for the Austrian national American football team, I personally see nearly 4,000 patients a year with knee problems, shoulder problems, and sports injuries—I am referred the most difficult cases from across Europe, which we treat as a team at the "Sportambulatorium Wien – Center for Orthopedics and Sports Traumatology (ZOS)” or perform surgery at the Center for Sports and Joint Surgery at PK Confraternität. This extensive experience, combined with the expertise gained from over 20,000 successful surgeries, along with the integration of the latest research findings and therapeutic methods, forms the foundation for the successful treatment of all my patients. Our highly specialized team generally treats all sports injuries and joint problems, including fractures, as well as all overuse injuries and degenerative joint conditions—with a dedicated specialist available for every region of the body. Whether it’s the knee, shoulder, spine, hip, foot, or wrist—using the latest minimally invasive treatment methods (especially in the field of arthroscopy) and innovative surgical techniques (keyhole surgery), even long-standing symptoms can often be completely resolved. In many cases, this is possible even without surgery thanks to state-of-the-art therapeutic methods; therefore, at the “Sportambulatorium Wien – Center for Orthopedics and Sports Traumatology (ZOS),” we work closely together as a large, interdisciplinary team comprising a wide range of disciplines and specializations.
