Current clinical research topics

• Orthogeriatrics including treatment of fragility fractures and development of treatment pathways
• Research on health care provision and quality
• Bone infection, reconstruction and translational tissue engineering
• Cartilage research and translational tissue engineering
• Upper Extremity Trauma: evaluation of treatment pathways (e.g. proximal humeral fracture of the elderly) and mid- and long-term results
• Upper Extremity Trauma: evaluation of image based and score based decision criteria for different treatment options (e.g. proximal humeral fracture, distal radial fracture)
• Outcome and complications after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair and total shoulder arthroplasty
