Your specialist for sports and joint injuries in Vienna 1180
Back to pain-free sports
Unfortunately, sports activities also carry the risk of accidents and injuries, including acute damage and overuse syndromes. As an experienced orthopedic surgeon in Vienna 1180, I am here to accurately diagnose and effectively treat such sports injuries. Common sports injuries include:
- Contusions
- Overuse syndromes, such as runner’s knee (Iliotibial Band Syndrome), tennis elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis), and golfer’s elbow (Medial Epicondylitis)
- Strains
- Muscle tears
- Ligament injuries, such as in the ankle joint
- Tendon tears, including Achilles tendon rupture
- Fractures
The knee, shoulder, and ankle joints are particularly susceptible to injuries. Knee injuries such as meniscal tears or cruciate ligament tears are typical in football players or skiers. In the shoulder joint area, rotator cuff injuries frequently occur, while ligament injuries are common in the ankle joint.
Objective and Therapy for Sports Injuries
The main objective in treating sports injuries is to fully restore the function of the injured joint, allowing you to resume your favorite sport pain-free and at your usual level. To achieve this goal, I conduct a thorough examination and initiate the best possible, individually tailored therapy. This includes a combination of conservative treatments and, if necessary, surgical interventions, to prevent long-term damage and enable a quick return to sports.
I am your orthopedic surgeon for sports and joint injuries in Vienna 1180, dedicated to helping you become fully active again after a sports injury. Let us work together to get you back in the game safely and effectively.
After a precise diagnosis of your sports injury, I develop a customized therapy specifically tailored to your needs to get you back in motion as quickly as possible.
Diagnosis and Treatment of Sports Injuries
In my practice in Vienna 1180, I perform a thorough clinical examination of the affected joint to clarify sports and joint injuries. In addition, depending on the type of injury, we use modern imaging techniques such as X‑ray, ultrasound, CT (computed tomography) or MRI (magnetic resonance imaging).
After a precise diagnosis, I will create an individually tailored therapy plan for you. We offer a wide range of non-surgical, conservative treatment options:
Physiotherapy
Physical Therapy
Shockwave Therapy
Autologous blood therapy (ACP – Autologous Conditioned Plasma)
Surgical interventions for sports injuries – Your trauma surgeon
If conservative methods are not sufficient to achieve complete healing, minimally invasive surgical options are available. Operations such as the suture of meniscus tears, the replacement of an anterior cruciate ligament or the reconstruction of the rotator cuff on the shoulder are performed in my practice using arthroscopy (keyhole technique). This technique enables faster recovery and minimizes the risk of complications.
As your orthopedist in Vienna 1180, I am available to work with you to explore the optimal therapy options and design a treatment tailored to your sports injury.
