Welcome to
Orthopaedist, certified knee surgeon & trauma surgeon || Ehringshausen
Dear patients,
You can consult me for all kinds of orthopaedic and accident surgery issues. My treatments focus on diseases of the knee and hip joints.
In my practice, I attach great importance to tailoring the various forms of therapy holistically and individually to you. Together with you, we carefully weigh up the various modern options of conservative therapy before considering surgical treatment. The aim of all treatments is to maintain or restore your joint function for as long as possible. - So that everything runs smoothly again!
Many years of surgical experience, also in management positions in hospitals and medical centres, as well as extensive further training, guarantee a high level of expertise with which I will be happy to assist you.
I look forward to your visit.

Conservative services
Human joints and muscles are technical marvels. Unfortunately, accidents or prolonged incorrect loading often lead to cartilage damage and premature wear and tear of the joints. This results in pain, restriction or even loss of joint function. In our practice, I offer you a wide range of conservative forms of therapy that can help to improve your symptoms on an individualised basis.

Hip joint endoprosthetics
Short stem prosthesis: Bone-sparing implantation, maximum preservation of the natural thigh anatomy, ideal for minimally invasive approaches, vitamin E-reinforced material (vitamys) for extreme wear protection, maximum durability
Fast Track concept: Minimally invasive approach (without removal of muscle attachments), no drainage, local anaesthesia of the soft tissue (LIA), tranexamic acid to reduce blood loss, immediate full weight bearing
Knee joint endoprosthetics
Fast Track concept: No tourniquet, no drainage, local anaesthesia of the knee joint (LIA), tranexamic acid to reduce blood loss, immediate full weight bearing
Kinematic knee: Customised reconstruction of the natural joint line, rejection of rigid standard angles, exact adaptation to the patient's own anatomy, more natural feeling of movement
